to ellaborate, it's not a metaphor. the bible does funky shit to your mind and spirit, and you lose your marbles. it's    as expounded, you can wreck the whole world if enough people believe in it, because self awareness is lost. it's very common, for christian larpers, to be fapping to trannies while asking you to be sexually pure, and they don't even notice what they're doing, the mind so is blinded. it's some kind of spiritual retardation/blindness that people get. unable to reason or be reasoned with. this is one of the reason why they're insufferable. they lose self awareness and self volition, so it's impossible for them to behave as grown adults, they become factually golems.
