This is because they see their mental illness or disability as part of their identity, not as something they need to struggle to overcome.
In Christianity, one of the worst things you can do is willingly accept your sin. You're supposed to reject it and struggle against it, your entire life if necessary. These people not only accept their sin, they celebrate it and try to force others to celebrate it too.
Your point took me a while in my life to understand.
I used to have a struggle on the theological question of hell merely being the absence of God. "Why would people in hell curse God for being there, instead of just asking for redemption and joining him?"
I still have no fucking clue why, but it's also clear now that they do in fact do this.
Have you ever heard of capital-d Deaf people? They rebuke the idea of any hearing aids, and are terrified at the thought of their children living a better life through technology, or worse, not being born crippled.

This is, IMO, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) issues today. Pretty much every aspect of society is honed in on this. You need to find where you have victim points, and you need to keep harping on that and how that makes you special. And people are so focused on why they're a special victim that nothing gets changed, improved or accomplished.

That's what an abomination is after all. They don't want forgiveness or self improvement. They want to wallow in depravity.
