Yeah, nothing Freudian there.

I don't want to spend a lot of time figuring these guys out, but the whole idea that God will break you and toss you away if you don't do exactly what he says ... and to put it in such violent imagry ... I mean, are they just messed up in their thinking or is this a calculated move to get compliant victims?
