People leave the church for the same reason people fall out of bed. They weren't in deep enough.
Think about it. Everyone has a place to sleep = everyone is given faith. Why do you fall out of bed = why do you fall out of your faith. The answer to both is the same--you weren't in deep enough.
You weren't deep in your bed = you didn't understand your faith. You were sleeping on the edge = you didn't know much about your faith. Both cause you to fall out.
Someone pushes you out of the bed = some person didn't act appropriately. An earthquake shook you out of bed = a personal trauma made you lose faith.
You didn't understand that sleeping in the middle would prevent you from falling out of bed = learning about your faith will strengthen your relationship with God.
Faith as a bed
is an amusing analogy. One more:
You can get back in the bed and get a good night's sleep = You can pray and learn to have faith and life will be better.
