Bingo! This is what my 92yo mother thinks. And she knows I'm an atheist. She actually stated this to my brother recently who told me. (Folks lose filters as dementia progresses.)

I laughed.

Her statement didn't hurt my feelings in the least since mom and I have been estranged for decades over ever subject you can imagine and I already knew she felt this way. As is typical of all RWNJ's, her compassion extends only to those identical to her in most every way.

I'm going to hell.
