I came to her support because she asked me to. She was feeling overwhelmed by the negativity and didn't feel anything she could say while still be true to herself would help. I'm not the only one she asked, nor is she the only one I've ever supported when asked.
Then in that case you should help her with her arguments, and argue against atheism. If you want to support her, then support her ideas, but don't make her exempt to being corrected on them. We'll try and do so as gently as possible, as LFC and I were trying to yesterday (exasperated as we were becoming).
So we have a negative attitude toward her beliefs, well that's really too bad - she should either deal with that, or she doesn't belong here. She's a fun person when her beliefs don't get in the way, but when you're a theist and you're here, you should expect to feel the heat. What you and the other defenders (who regard as a few steps beneath your intelligence after the past few days) have accomplished is the creation of a sort of goddess who nobody can touch, no matter what she says.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
