There was no hesitation or second thought. She puts Jesus before her children.
I feel cheap and hopeless. I cannot process it. I do not want a relationship with her anymore.
Someone please make me feel better
Maybe you could say like: "Why do you believe in him more then me? I mean if it's because of miracles then why didn't he help me; or stop the accident (?) from hurting me? What kind of a sadist would do that? And it's not just me many people are suffering including little kids and he does nothing and yet you put him on a pedestal that is higher than me. Who's below him and higher than me on your list? Hitler?"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
