It may be my Pagan-ness telling me it's off, but, I'm still so curious.
As a Pagan, it is important to have a close, tight-knit, caring bond with your Matron and Patron, whoever they may be. The Lady and Lord, Diana and Pan, Isis and Cernunnos, whoever it may be.
The point is, we are encouraged by our Patron and Matron to have a tight bond with them, and think of them more as a friend and someone you can rely on. Someone to cry to during the bad times, to celebrate the good times with. Someone who doesn't control your life and the world around you, but can influence chance should you ask politely and correctly.
With Christians, it's more of a "I LOVE GOD BECAUSE IF I DON'T I'LL GO TO HELL!" and Christians will say things like "GOD! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!?" when things go wrong, yet when things go right they thank God...
Whereas with Pagans (at least me and those I know!) when something goes wrong, we ask for guidance through the hard times... so... what's the deal?
