At first blush, it would seem like the people in this girl's life want to give her a different perspective and that could be, but it has more to do with wanting to promote Christianity.
They are nowhere nearer the truth than anyone else. The arrogance it takes to think you and your cult are "better acquainted" with God or "a god" than the rest of us, and if only we joined their cult we would be as enlightened, is remarkable.
Maybe God gave them arrogance as a "gift," too.
If I say that Washington D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America, and then go on to say that everyone who disagrees with me is wrong, would you consider me to be arrogant?
