And this I found amusing because if God is all-knowing, he'd obviously be hip to her deception. But, why she hadn't figured that out isn't mysterious at all and has very little to do with faith. It's not God who would begrudge her the use of her brain if she went in search of her spirituality and didn't necessarily accept the first religion thrown at her - it is, I think, herself. Fear-based devotion is nothing new. Bad people, you've probably been told, are evil and are put on Earth to test your faith and to ultimately teach you a good moral lesson.
Bad people go to bad places when they die.
Apparently, in the eyes of some, all homosexuals are stupid heathens. Even though that's a big horrible lie, this premise survives, I believe, because it's fertilized by agreement. Agreement is a friend of fear and the enemy of independent thought. And if anyone has doubts as to the power of agreement or fear, they need only study a man named Adolf Hitler to see how dangerous agreement without bravery and consideration can be. Most thinking individuals believe in diversity of religion and believe that diversity should be celebrated.
