The thought of the word church and the word marketing in the same sentence makes me sick.

Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be.

Your life is a gift. Before anything else can be said about you, for some reason the universe (or God, or being, or force, or reality, or whatever you name it) chose to give you life.
