This sounds like a cult.
Can't you live without this Ether?

Two of Christian's friends were in Vegas for the past week. They went to high school with him in L.A. and they seem like real stand up dudes. Jose and El Adio. If I were to say, Jose is the nerdier of the two and very quick to come up with a witty retort. He's a real nice dude. And El Adio is the most chill guy ever. Everything with him is at his own pace and it's just great, like riding waves. He eats slow, speaks slow, moves slow. But what he does quick is play the guitar and put down drinks.
Last week on Good Friday me and Christian attended the Catholic church I used to go to with the rest of my family. While there I could not help but feel uneasy. As scripture was recited I just couldn't stop thinking of what Jesus did for us. This man who has influence on billions of people throughout the centuries had sacrificed everything for the sake of those people. He sacked himself for me, he gave up his life so that I could lead one of my own. What had me uneasy wasn't the fact that he just died for me, but because he did so and I am so willing to throw it all away.
Maybe a week ago I saw four fire trucks pass by consecutively and I had imagined a burning building on fire with inhabitants still stuck in it. The fire engines with their sirens on and lights flashing, they were in a hurry to put out a fire and rescue people. I had imagined myself running into a building that was on fire, risking myself for the well-being of others. I wish I could be a hero, to change a life, to save a life.
Someone at my church had recently returned from a missionary trip to Mexico. I think this is what I want to do in the near future. I would love to travel to some foreign place to help out the people there. Whether that means preparing lunch to feed the hungry or help in rebuilding devastated areas, I just feel like I should be put to use as a tool of god to help those unfortunate. My life, no matter what I say, is not that bad and there are those out there who lead lives that are, in my eyes, wretched and unfortunate and even they bear the difficulties that come their way just to continue living. I wish to throw away my life but why dispose of something that could be put to use. If others even dare to say my life is bad they too need to open their eyes. I want to help make my life better by helping those in need, better myself by bettering others.
1 Corinthians 13:4 is really good. [expound on this]
