Lol, right. The narrative they are playing out is a dysfunction S&M relationship with a higher power, appeasing a vengeful god for special status. It isn't that mysterious, maybe they were raised in abuse & really are confused about punishment being love, or they know it's not & are using it as cover to abuse. Either way, it's sick & WRONG. Nothing is gained with these deeply unhealthy games based on twisted superstition. There IS NO appeasing abusers & abuse of power has no place in a healthy, functioning society. Logic & stated intent do not hold in what they are doing. No one should "hold faith" in some people being made to suffer & others being given favor for enabling abuse. You are exactly right, too, when you are being honest, to take action in alignment with your words.
