Ya know, the church would have probably kept me around longer if they would have started throwing 13 to 17 year old "church approved" sluts at me (there were some but had no interest in me). I would have at least feigned belief for awhile anyway. But eventually that would have worn off and I'd still end up being me. Maybe slightly diseased, but essentially me.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
