They like their cloistered, self-loathing world, filled with fear and anger and disappointed hopes. What's sad is that a lot of people are disillusioned with their own faith around here, and there's nowhere for them to turn without being shunned by their closest family and friends, so they stay right where they are, growing bitter and hateful, lashing out at others because it makes them feel better and righteous. I mean, how many Sundays can one sit in a pew knowing that the Pastor is having an affair with the barely legal church organist and that the Sunday School teacher is hung over from Saturday night? I'd go mad.
