Fear of death is at the heart of our societal dysfunction. Fear of death drove normal people to embrace radical COVID restrictions, even on the operation of the Church. Fear of death drove many to accept unproven, mRNA injections and to force the same on others against their will. Fear of death saw the elderly die alone, untended. Fear of death harmed our Christian witness, as we, unlike our Christian forebears, turned our backs on our brothers and sisters in need. Orthodox Christians went along with everything the public health establishment demanded. It is clear that even the elite transhumanist movement is driven by rich people being afraid to die.
