[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we were literally all god's children, I think CPS would be calling because s/he has not been taking good care of us. [/quote]

That’s so helpful. [/quote]

Look, religious folks are the ones who started the whole "god's children" language, so don't get chippy with me for taking it to its natural conclusion. [/quote]

There are no religious people involved in her life, she literally had normal friends.[/quote]
"Normal" is not the opposite of "religious." I have plenty of normal religious friends. People too often confuse "religious" with "fundamentalist" in ways that can make everyone upset and shut down helpful dialogue.

If your sister's understanding of "religious" people is informed by the loud minority of fundamentalists, without any "normal" religious people in her real life to show her that religion can be about community support, kindness, stewardship of the earth, volunteer work, etc, then of course she's going to be angry.
