I have a friend that is Christian and has been in a series of terrible relationships. She always seems to find guys that are controlling and in some cases just mean. She was talking with me about why she seems to gravitate toward these types of men.
I thought about it for a while, and I made a suggestion that she did not like. As a devout Christian, she is literally brainwashed in a god that created man to worship him (narcissist). If you do not worship him, he will punish you in terrible ways for the rest of your existence. If you do worship him, some time in the future he will give you everything you ever wanted. Someday. You can ask him for things you may need and things you want, but he only gives you things he thinks you should have, and when he thinks you should have them.
Sounds pretty much like the guys she dates. She’s dating her god. And he sucks.
