I don’t like this analogy.
The red pill is equated to reality and hardship?
Salvation is a conversion and transformation which is God’s work... not ours.
Those who are truly saved are continually transformed and conformed to the image of Christ.... Again.. His work not ours.
Our choices DO have consequences, and can result in a harder life here on earth than need be... but our faith is in Him who transforms us. Not our own works.
That is fine, I can see your point, although I am not teaching that salvation is in any way our work, I agree that “Salvation belongs to God” and God alone. The point of this article is that people are indeed in a slumber, they need to wake up and to be roused out of their slumber by God, and through prayer, and that there are a good many who need a confrontation, a clear revelation of the choice between reality, or to go back to comfortable illusion.I just thought the saying Red Pill moment was very analogous to people being awakened to the reality that is around them. Thanks for the input.

I didn’t see where the “Red Pill” was related to hardship , other than the fact that reality is harsher than illusion for the short term.
