Yeah exactly, they've studied breaking points and hardships endured by people. They hollowed out peoples faith so much that nothing but worldly comfort means anything to them. I imagine the lives of the Russian Catacomb Saints enduring decades in prison camps, death, etc. for not bending to the government or giving even one small capitulation in their beliefs. What would happen now in the west?
