The Strange Christian Romance with Suffering, Sacrifice, and Self-Erasure
The equation is as ridiculous as it is reductive. Christ suffered, therefore we should suffer. Except that he once said, "I am here that ye may have life and have it more abundantly."

Apparently “life more abundantly” was translated by church leadership into “wear this itchy potato sack and feel guilty about dessert.”
