kiro, good, then I won't go into a long explanation.
Obviously the base problem is a lack of proper priorities. I, like you, see faith as a way of life. To give up my faith would be to give up my life (and that is literally in the spiritual sense).
But the WAS really has one goal. Her own happiness. You saw this with your own W, with her drawing herself as the center with the kids and everyone else around her! That is it in a nutshell.
Faith, family, friends, everything else goes out the window in their selfish pursuit of happiness.
kiro, and please understand that maybe there are cases where faith went first and then the WAS said "I was wrong about that so now I am free to go crazy." But I truly do believe the vast majority of cases is that they become wayward and/or walkaway first, and then cast off anything that doesn't fit that new world view.
