Hitting Bottom

At the end of the progression lies desperation so intense that it forces change. Mental and emotional breakdowns are common among religious addicts. Some attempt to take their lives. Some take the lives of others and then their own. They do desperate things because their minds can’t handle the incongruity between their beliefs and what they know to be real. They feel betrayed by God and the world, and they don’t care who they hurt as long as they don’t have to suffer further humiliation. Many see the only way to guarantee this is to die or be admitted to an institution.

In the end, the presence of a false god denies the addicts what they desperately need: a loving relationship with a loving God. Unfortunately, when they finally put down their work, performance rituals, and need for perfection, there often remains no motivation to seek the true God who could heal their broken hearts.
