Fear has a normal and natural function, but like all emotions, it can be exploited, manipulated, or even generated for wrong or unhealthy purposes.
Fear of a danger is not a bad thing in some situations. But indeed, fear has been used and exploited by evil for millenia and for its own destructive needs.Fear is like an alarm response designed to get us to act swiftly to avert a danger. But remaining in fear for any extended period of time debilitates and degrades our heart and spirit, and becomes quickly counterproductive. Also, fear responds to perception, and lies can be provided to someone in order to generate fear which makes them much easier to control.
Likewise, worship can be healthy, or unhealthy. It depends. To love truly is to worship, to venerate, to appreciate. In my view, worship is a natural response that comes from being aware and grateful and cognizant of being given great, great love. It's the giving of glory, appreciation. It's the assignation of value to something that deserves that value. But it all depends on the heart. Worship without love is not really worship. It's a fake substitute.
The reason why the Ten Commandments includes not to 'worship' idols, is because putting anything but God into that central place of subject of love is false worship.
