An interesting thot I found in AG's post on GenX:
Maybe something that set us apart from those who got sucked in, stayed in, were coerced, intimidated, manipulated, etc., is that neither of us had a major fear of God. Actually, my ex was pretty quick to blow off the whole notion of a personal god deeply involved in the affairs of humans, so that he had very little concern about whether he needed to please that god after leaving TF. If I had feared death, eternal damnation, lightening bolts from the sky, and everything else that comes with displeasing the particular concept of god that Berg represented and preached, I may have made very different choices.
