It was how she chose to cope. I don't agree with it, I don't think I would change my mind if I went through something so terrible. But I don't mock her.
Nobody is born with the ability to cope with the sort of trauma that your friend endured. We all do so as best we can.
You know many of the terrible things that I experienced when I was younger - I will not repeat them here. I could have easily used faith as a crutch - and perhaps for a while, I did - but mostly I dealt with my trauma in ways that were damaging to myself, and were no less irrational.
Like you, I can't really blame someone for coping in the way your friend does.
