You're apparently a Christian, and so is she. She simply follows other parts of the book, and I can assure you that most of what she believes has backing from that book (unlike most Christians, I've actually read it). Plenty of the history of Christian practice and teaching backs up what she believes as well. If you don't like the form of Christianity she follows, get together and figure out what the religion is actually about (good luck!). But to act like someone else's Christianity isn't real because it makes you uncomfortable is profoundly dishonest.
It's really annoying how Christians always want to disassociate themselves from their awful people, rather than blaming the flavour of the religion itself that made them awful.

People aren't trash because of trailers. Nor are the homeless. MTG is trash.

You know, a lot of good Democrats live in trailers. So that's a sad slur to use based on where someone lives.
