On one hand, i think it's about how Christianity affects different people. For some, it's a form of escape, while for others it only creates problems. "Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then i've had no fun"

However, it also suggests that we live every minute like its' our last. Rather than allowing other people to judge us, we should just follow our own mind. ?
