    I think some rural people do things a lot of non rural people don’t understand or identify with. Also, I worked with someone who had an adamant position that animals didn’t have souls, so punishing people for animal abuse made no sense. When we brought up that animal abuse is a potential indicator for abuse of humans as sell, he said they should be consequence free until they hurt a human. He was also a “but if you don’t worship God what’s to stop you from doing bad things?” type.

      That just tells me that she is a psychopath who is only held back from killing humans by the fact that God might punish her for it. As an atheist, I don’t kill humans because I don’t want to. It would be extremely emotionally scarring for me. Apparently for her, it’s just a matter of “God would hurt me if I did”.
