How does that even work?
Of course, it's also funny that the vast, vast, vast majority of people who do bad things (I'm talking rape, murder, torture, etc.) believe in her god, so it's not like belief somehow stops people from doing heinous things to one another.
But, yeah, it sounds like she's parroting the old "You just don't want to believe so you can sin" BS, which is utterly illogical. If you don't believe in god, you don't believe in satan, or heaven, or hell. You also don't believe in sin. It's not that you acknowledge that they exist but choose to act a certain way regardless, it's that she/they might as well be saying something like "You're offending the Green Lantern with what you're doing!" Which is patently absurd.
The older you get, and the more you look at theism from the outside, the more you'll see how delusional and twisted the whole endeavor is:
God loves everyone unconditionally! Now, here's a list of conditions you need to abide by to receive his love.
God is just! Yet somehow believes that infinite punishment for finite crimes is fair.
God wants a relationship with you! But if you say 'no' he'll cast you in a lake of fire.
God's proof of existence is in miracles! Which often leaves others dead or crippled.
God has a plan! But mortals can fuck it up.
Etc.
