I equate their particular brand of Christianity to doing heroin. Life just feels too meaningless without it and if you feel you're constantly treated unfairly it's even better. It's a drug that has the ability to make you feel good temporarily (3 weekly services plus extras), making the world feel "balanced", but if you don't have continuous inoculations, you start to see your reality for what it is. Until one day it kills you and/or someone else.
For many of the christians I personally know - it's just an excuse disguised as godliness to be the loser they always were.
Im really just trying to pull my aunt and friend's out of it with no success so far.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
