Do you think some people are afraid to look too deeply, or honestly, into the things they believe?

A friend of ours died recently. His wife is one of those unyielding, almost belligerent Christians. You know, the ones who always write GOD in uppercase letters, followed by !!!!.
We were talking the day after he died and she said, “He’s in a better place. He’s probably golfing right now!”
At the cemetery he was laid to rest next to her parents. She said, “He and my dad are probably fishing together!”
I said, “Well, if you can, tell him to fish for salmon, not cat fish cuz catfish are nasty!”
She kind of chuckled and said, “Val, you are so silly.”
No, she has no idea that I’m agnostic, and don’t believe in magic. I’m sure she’d shun me if she knew!
