Hi, Phoenix.
Congratulations, Andy. I get really tired of the same old "Christians are hypocrites" cliche, too. People love scapegoats. In John Wayne's day they scapegoated "Indians" for entertainment; today they scapegoat Christians.
I think that plus the portrayal of alcoholics as wholly corrupt and impossible to restore is a flaw in human nature: people love scandal. IRL so-called loved ones are sometimes unwilling to allow addicts to change and grow; then they'd have no more scapegoat.
