    Legality aside, insofar as it is philosophically debatable, gross and pedophilic is still gross and pedophilic.

    If you know someone is thinking about murdering people around them, but holds off, would that make you feel any safer? I think the focus should be helping people not want that rather than appeasement.

    In her mind, god is what empowered you to do the work necessary, but I don’t think that has to devalue your work altogether. I try to appreciate my own mother’s prayers in that she is expressing a need for a nebulous aid in the face of largely unanswerable, even spiritual issues, like mental health. Of course more directly answerable situations, whether uncomfortable or unjust, can be more annoying with that sort of mindset.

    If you mean she’s saying her prayers are answered when it was just you taking care of things for her, that’s even more aggravating.
