No, she needed to not have pathetic adults scare her into believing she's going to be tortured by god.
There is still time for you to guide them in the right direction.
Then why are you discussing "someone felt better after praying" at all? Its waste of oxygen to be mentioning personal anecdotes and no proof to back them up.
Good you are finally being honest, eventually however you are going to have to lay your cards on the table, produce receipts and demonstrate with concrete proof. There is no way around it.
Christian cult has you convinced for the moment but if you are truly honest with yourself it will seize to have power over you.
Let me level with you. There is nothing wrong with following christ and his teachings if that is your thing. I have no beef with people who want to use him as a rolemodel or any fictional/non fictional rolemodel for that matter.
Just be honest about the magical part with me and yourself. There are no gods only men who pretend to be. You are basically an atheist yourself you already dont believe in 9999 gods. Just add one more to the list.
To be clear I am not asking you to stop using the bible for inspiration or some kind of guidebook to live your life by, just don't pretend its all true.
Here is where it gets really, really good. You see, it just so happens that I have a living, breathing, real life and most importantly, easily accessible Use Case of someone who was freed from alcohol after Christ entered their life. You can even read their testimony and ask them questions and find out all about it.
I think you might have heard of them. Their name is TiStuff. You can even read their Testimony right here:

Scripture describes your condition.
Faith simply means trust.
It used to be the 'atheists would boast and brag about abiogenesis/'evolution as the explanation for creation. the advancement of science we know now thats impossible.
o how you rage at the idea of a mind behind creation but some how you know better that say its 'evolution
Standing up from prayer and the feeling that came with being freed from alcohol. The biggest mystery is you actually believe you can compete with that.
A mighty faith in yourself, I agree with your definition of faith when its used in this context.
However, that being said, I would love to hear from your Hindu friend who had the same thing happen. I mean, if you are going to come up with a counter argument with a different real life example, surely you would be referring to someone you know and didn't totally make up right?
Surely you have your Hindu friend on speed dial and can get them here at a moments notice? First and foremost what is their name and how soon can you get them here?
