In America at least, where Christians are not generally physically persecuted, Cheeses is seen as a figure, a point to focus on, an excuse to follow in order to be called a Christian. It's much easier to keep our eyes shut to the light rather than to open them and have to get used to reality--it's much easier not to see the reality of Cheeses by your side unless you are in desperate need of him. Americans generally grow up getting what they want and enjoying life easily. While depression, bad family life, aloneness are big issues in the American society, people in those situations still don't look to Cheeses because those trials are not last resort efforts. Cheeses seems to either be a last resort or completely hidden these days by the noise of life. We can conclude that while we might not seem to need divine intervention in this life of small comforts, we definitely need Cheeses to get us into the afterlife. Go ahead and call him today--it's free!
