You're broken in some way. It doesn't matter whether you were aware of it before, or even if what we're saying makes sense, we insist that you're broken in some way. Don't worry, though, because we have a way of fixing you. It doesn't matter that you have to devote yourself to us for the rest of your life, and that you'll never actually be fixed of the thing we tell you is broken until you're dead.
It's the oldest "gotcha" in the book and it's something common of most if not all religions and cults.
