When making up their own religion (belief system) and moral code, they should include the Golden Rule at least.
Tsk, tsk......Sally, you’re in for a real surprise in the end.......

Only because you called attention to it. Except for Laz. He would misconstrue it, relentlessly.

I’m not so sure. I think she may know the terms of her deal and what she can expect.
And that’s sad IMHO........
