...I know people who are being destroyed by their addiction to their religiosity.

Define "destroyed".

Do you mean they won't party anymore; won't joke about cheating; won't sleep around; won't say homosexuality is ok; don't pay enough attention to their friends and families; are giving up great jobs to go on missions; or are spending too much time helping the poor or prison inmates?

This is very interesting.

no, I mean they end up with gangrene because medicine is the devil's work, that kind of "destroyed".

a more elaborate answer, by item:

they won't party anymore; - no. they don't go out, at all, except to church as many times per week as there are services.

won't joke about cheating; - no. they lose their senses of humor entirely.

won't sleep around; - no. they often practice serial bigamy.

won't say homosexuality is ok; - irrelevant: *I* won't say "homosexuality is ok". They, on the other hand, might go out fag-bashing, because "God Hates Fags"

don't pay enough attention to their friends and families; - try: disowns them utterly if they don't jump into the cult with them. also: deny their kids medical treatment because prayer is supposed to do the job. etc...

are giving up great jobs to go on missions; - try instead: go flat broke and homeless because they just cannot work with "unbelievers" without making pains in the butt of themselves. also: squander their savings giving to huckster televangelists. also: give up their worldly possessions because they are convinced their preacher has the faxline to God and has proclaimed that Tuesday is the Day of Judgement. etc ad infinitum.

or are spending too much time helping the poor or prison inmates? - no. are spending too much time fast-tracking to the morgue to bother with such things.

I do hope this is satisfactorily clear, as this is the final post I shall make on this thread.
