I'm glad you didn't. Censuring free speech can lead to ugly results.
I'm glad Mandi did think it though, because it shows she is able to break free from circular moral dogma. And if everything is god's will then surely spitting on them is too and they would have been affirmed in their dogma. So really that would have been a nice thing to do.

It is really sick that people attribute everything to God like this.

I push my mother off a cliff and people say it was "God's will." No it was my will. Give me some credit.
