I could respond to every individual point that she made, but this one sticks out to me.
If only you knew the joy that my faith in God gives me. The Kingdom of Heaven is here, not just when we die. Death cult? Ha! Who is in the death cult if God is life and sin is death?
I don't hate her any more than I hate myself, for I have been her. I pity her. I thought that I could be an atheist and just appreciate the beauty of the natural world, while denying its Creator. But, bit by bit, God called me back and replaced the insufficient faith of my childhood. I don't regret being an atheist for nearly a decade, because I believe that it was part of God's plan to replace my childhood faith with something more refined.
Ultimately, I hope that something happens to shake her out of her materialist stupor. I hope that she hears God's voice and that it hits her heart. God wants her as his daughter, even if she is blind to it.
You went from milk to meat and realized God was meat.
The problem is that the concept of heaven is very easily twisted into worship of narcissism. Very quickly it can be interpreted as loyalty to an authority, rather than pious moral conduct. You can see versions of that with Dr. Fauci and The Science. That attitude can be directly transplanted on top of Christendom, with bad Christians and Priests missing the point of responsible and righteous moral conduct.
What you hear as the voice of God, does not have to come from the Church; but many times, people like her see that it's not God speaking, it's just a man from behind the curtain.
