From what I can tell, Christians entire lives are consumed with
fear--when they aren't performing prayer rituals to placate their "God"
idols, they're out trying to bring others to the same level of
unreasoning terrors so they can trade some of their punishments for a
new soul sacrificed before their idol's altar. Between the frantic
scramble to bring material goods to the priests of this "God", and the
hysterical observance of their taboos, they seem to live such dark and
pain filled lives, lightened only with outbreaks of ego gratification and
violence. It's no real wonder that some of them end up as broken and
frightened as Jelly is.
