I didn't pay too much attention to her specific quotations after a bit, but they didn't seem completely unrelated to what she thought she was discussing. In that context, the sort of quotations she proffered are a fairly regular feature in discourse with people who've spent some time studying and caring about their religion. While I might think they were misplaced in this forum, and while they'd make my teeth itch eventually, I would find it difficult to judge either the extent or the lunacy of her religious beliefs from what little she's posted.

Mal, that was a measured and thoughtful thing to say. As well as having a lot of syllables.
