I would point out that people become Christians because they realise they are sinners and need forgiveness not because they are good people. Sounds as if your mum sure needed lotsa forgiveness - but then we all do.

@Mathers Probably, but if I've learned anything about her, she's after the title of "Christian" rather than being one.

Give it time. She’s a learner. All Christians are learners. They are Christians because they are not perfect.@Magnolia21

Lonely elderly people suddenly seem to “find god.”
I think it’s to cope with the idea of things coming to an end.

Sounds like yer Mother has egoism? Christianity teaches to rid oneself of such a thing.

@Sazzio True, but most religions preach against something their followers like to do.

No, but I have had one suddenly become political. That's even worse these days, I think.

No. My family silently became nonreligious.

God knows if she is genuine in her conversion or if she is just launching another scam..
Conversions can be a very quick thing.. I took about 6 months to transition into being a Christian.. I know there are people who attend a church service and become Christians during the service. It's like a switch gets triggered in their minds..

Is she getting on in years? She might be doing the christian thing of sinning with great enthusiasm until just before death, then being born again to guarantee a place in heaven?? XD

@walabby Nah, not even 50. Just been a less-than-good person, and call me cynical, but her free ride (pandemic boost to unemployment and food stamps) is ending. That's just how she's always been. Oh, I'm sorry, she's "hustlin"

You sound as if you’re very much enjoying judging her. Is that so? How much do you hate her?@Magnolia21

She sounds like some politicians.
