The "sins" Christian authoritarians most condemn center around actions or thoughts that help people escape pain that isn't religiously-based pain-stopping.
This is #AbuseCulture. Because the punishment is the point, the trauma is the point, and how dare you try to circumvent it with sex or drugs or being your authentic self? That's what their god is all about. Do as I say or suffer. And what I say is that thou shalt not experience pleasure (unless offered via religious rites and social contexts — what Mormons called "good clean fun!")
After all, what's the point of putting believers in their place by abusing them (including all the unauthorized but permitted forms of abuse) if they're just going to numb themselves with rock music and drinking?
The pain is the point, and they and their god have zero intention of delivering on the happiness or heaven that they sell.
