That fact can make us rightly angry -- angry adrenalin responses can be OK- it;s what our Creator built into us
It's how we manage that anger that can make it good.
Adrenalin is the dangerous and diverse effect gift to you to manage life for GOOD .And yes its also dangerous and easily part of the Bad .
God wants you to properly author and counsel others with the truth. Its part or your arsenal to live the good life . Its particularly the weapon for good of those who are pushed down ( cf those who rise to the top)
I feel for Stan Grant (resigning from ABC) and Noel Pearson (because racism and isolation is on the increase), but they, like our post- modern culture are trapped by their inadequate attitudes to anger hatred repentance and forgiveness. They are overreacting to a real threat, but not really understanding the threat.
Mistargeting and overstating
The monarchy and Christianity are not inherent threats to honoring diversity, but the very reason we have for centuries honored it.
It's how we deal with anger that's changed.
The post modernists have made anger a sin, when it is not. This is, as Os Guiness said, the West going East and losing itself in unproductive shaming, guilt and unforgiveness that perpetuates the pain and the adrenaline suppression (not good)
Most of us were taught that God gets angry and that we should deal with anger before the sun goes down each day. Believers and their families ( incl children) could get hot under the collar and survive. They lived the wonderful truth that it was ok to be angry every day, but to deal with it in a positive way .This limits, like nor-adrenaline, the damage that could now kill us.
By making it a sin, it makes the person who SHOWS anger now feel very bad, ashamed and accused of shaming; the focus of gas lighters. All the afore is unworkable unnecessary and inappropriate intransigence and pain.
In rejecting their Christian heritage, the ABC have adopted, from the vacuum in the vault of pure reaction, some other old ideas that do not work.
The only way to make things work. for our children's sake, is to admit we have given into unforgiveness, shaming and not accepting that the many injustices done to us (or done to or by our forebears) are less important that injustices done to people right now.
