No, she isn’t.

OP - one of my colleagues was regularly sending me similar glurge, until one day I received a request for a “prayer to cure cancer”. Call it the tipping point if you like, but once my eyes had rolled back into place I replied with some questions, like why does god let cancer exist?, does he or does he not have the power to eradicate it? if god wants cancer to exist who are we to tell him to change his plans? etc.

She thanked me for my reply (with a big smiley), and that was the last glurge I received…
