About This Quote
The drug called cocaine is highly addictive and very harmful to the body. It can easily lead to addiction and ruining a person's health and well-being. However, it is also used as a way of getting high. For those who use it, it becomes a replacement for other more harmful drugs such as alcohol or even marijuana.
In the same way that people don't need to use drugs to get high anymore, they can also quit using church as a way of getting high. The meaning of the quote is that the church isn't necessarily bad; it can be good; but we must be careful how we use it and what we do with it.
