I've been trying to read more Christian philosophy recently and until this thread my hypothesis was that it wasn't quite so obvious how incredibly abusive it was from the inside. "They know it's abusive but think they deserve it" is not a hypothesis I'd entertained.

Funnily I was just thinking that the difference between Catholics and Protestants seems to be that they both think they deserve it but the Catholics also think it's hot.

Yeah, I was being somewhat tongue in cheek. The actual differences is more that it's easier for me to see what the Catholics get out of it - there seems to be more of a positive aesthetic sense of their religious experience, while the Protestants seem unrelentingly bleak.
