You see, just like other abuse victims, they've convinced themselves that all of the problems are their fault, and the only way to fix things is to stay with the abuser. God sets you up to fail then forces you to beg for forgiveness, and Christians have convinced themselves that the consequences for this inevitable failure are entirely deserved if you turn your back on him.
So, it helps to understand Christian mythology if you think of god as a much more vicious version of Ike Turner.
I agree. If anyone really has a relationship with Yahweh, it's not a healthy one.
