      Lol, “come to Jesus” is a very obscure (apologies for that) slang expression for “waking the fuck up to reality”, usually with some tough love style assistance. No religious connotation whatsoever in the context I meant it.

          If a rapist and murderer said they woke the fuck up, then reoffended. Does that means saying “wake the fuck up” will then be a bad analogy that shouldn’t be used anymore?
