Is she a theist, perchance?
Sadly yes. She's been one all her life and she lived a long life. I still love her though.
Meanwhile my dad blames God for what happened to me with my mental illness and time in jail.
I asked that particular question because I've seen an interesting pattern with theists...some can show a healthy skepticism, like hers with the "cocaine in Coke" thing. That idea sounds fairly implausible to pretty much everybody.
But something as absolutely batshit crazy as an invisible, all-powerful magical sky fairy, and all that skepticism goes right out the window. The mental disconnect is breathtaking.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Yup, the perfect gift for someone who has everything. I mean, everything except a weaponized taco-holding religious icon sex toy.

It's a thing that I buy random gifts for older daughter and her husband...like totally random...but this may be a step too far.

Regarding mass shootings -
When I walk into a store in the middle of November and they are playing Christmas music - I understand where the lone gunman is coming from.......
Fortunately - firearm deer season runs from the 15th to the end of the month.....
