James Thurber’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty tells the tale of the
person walking through life daydreaming, wishing to be something he is not while escaping a nagging partner.
Mittie often go unnoticed, but some cross the line between truth and fiction, and these Mittie are well-known as the
workplace storyteller or the barfly telling farfetched, daring, harrowing, or bizarre tales. Crossing into Mittyism
may seem as unbelievable as the stories the Mittie tell, but a third Mitty proves Mittyism extends far beyond the
daydreamer and fibber into a large percentage of the world known as Christians.
Unlike the daydreamer or storyteller, the Christian Mittie sadly believe they live honest, fulfilling lives, but more
than sad, they are average. The Christian Mittie vie against a life sentence of ordinary, and like most people, they
lack just enough leadership, personality, friends, attractiveness, and many other traits to achieve affluence or the
top of the corporate ladder. Life’s mediocrity endurance test becomes survivable only by invoking the Abrahamic
dream of the dutiful father-protector of the house providing for his family and loyal wife-mother managing the kids
and home.
…on any given Sunday a significant percentage of women sitting in church pews are victims of domestic violence…
~Ross
Christian Mittie claim faith improves life, citing everything from financial gains to healing, depending on the
Abrahamic brand. Whether a denomination promises to solve people’s problems or not, which it often does, matters
little as believers seek faith for solutions. More than solutions, Christian Mittyism offers prepackaged lifestyles
complete with wholesome activities and communities that further reinforce the fantasy.
Despite the benefits of Mittyism, many Christian Mittie spiral into unfulfillment. The way Walter Mitty pretends to
be a renowned surgeon, the Christian woman jumps up and down at the MLM convention imagining herself as the
self-help guru, Rachel Hollis, an entrepreneurial mom with a great marriage. No, Christian Mittie are not lying to
themselves, for they would never lie, but instead find empowerment in the same dream
Rachel Hollis claims made her successful before her divorce and career damaging discussions of hiring a maid
to clean the toilets.
Unlike Walter’s doctoring fantasy that abruptly ends when life’s dissatisfaction resonates through the dream, the MLM
success fantasy leaves less than one percent of Christian Mittie with profit. Yet, Christian Mittie press forward in
the MLM make-believe, forming a multibillion-dollar market. The Christian Mittie doesn’t care what the naysayers and
researchers say about MLMs because Christian Middyism snakes around the multilevel of
marketing and promises the fulfillment direly needed.
“We are a business that’s helping women make more income so they can reach their dreams and look for what God’s
calling them to do,” said Monroe, 41, who named the company for Proverbs 31’s Wife of Noble Character.
~Christianity Today
When the Mittie find the MLM leaves them penniless, upstanding wives
and husbands, they wander from MLM to MLM or church to church, seeking happiness and empowerment.
More than four in 10 American adults are no longer members of the religion they were brought up in, while about
one in 10 changed religion, then went back to the one they left, the study found. Just under five in 10 — 47
percent — have never changed faith.
Some have switched more than once, and a small number have changed three times or more, according to the study.

When the Christian Mittie finds no fulfillment, Mittyism again provides the answer, blaming everyone who is not a
Christian Mitty. It is the non-Mittie causing their dissatisfaction by not having faith and actively seeking to
destroy the Christian Mittie. The Christian Mittie, just like Walter, march into the fray swinging the sword of
righteousness, bellowing,
…the contemporary persecution of Christians demands attention: It is occurring on a massive scale, it is
underreported, and in many parts of the world it is rapidly growing. ~The War on
Christians
“The Supreme Court has insulted you over and over again, Lord. They’ve taken your Bible away from the schools.
They’ve forbidden little children to pray. ...organizations have come into court to take the knowledge of God
out of the public square of America.” ~Pat Robertson
…American’s rights come from “God and our Constitution, our Bill of Rights,” but that the “cultural war” is
threatening the foundations of the family and the church. ~Senator Marsha Blackburn from Christianity Daily
On high school and college campuses…believers who dare to speak up against the homosexual agenda are being
ridiculed and smeared. In corporations where they work, some Christians who refuse to acquiesce to the reigning
pro-gay environment are reprimanded or fired. ~AFA Journal
Christian Mittie war with homosexuals, liberals, commies, and anyone barring the happiness promised them. For the
cause, the Christian Mitty stands back against the wall, ready to meet fate, “erect and motionless, proud and
disdainful,” the Christian Mitty, “the Undefeated, inscrutable to the last.”

Christianity's influence disrupts the rational process of striking a balance between essential human requirements and moral standards, consequently allowing its adherents to reconcile contradictions inherent in religious teachings by providing justifications for these inconsistencies.
