I think that most of us would prefer to avoid frequent ridicule, and acceptance into mainstream christianity would probably make life easier for some.
On the flip side, there are areas where we don't exactly jive with the mainstream, and I think that we take pride in being distinct and different.
I'm guessing that we can't have it both ways. Something's got to give.

Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people?
Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...but it might work for us.
