Just a linguistic observation: when you refers to something as "my", its an attempt to specify that subject. When I say "my grandma", I'm probably talking to someone who is not her grand-son, and this person has his own grandma, otherwise, I'd say just "grandma". So, when I say "my God" to you, I'm supposing there is another God who is not mine, or my God is different of yours, or even that my god is not yours too.

well, the way i figure it is that God is individual in everyone's own mind because unless you've seen God you don't know what God looks like - therefore not only God's image will change, but also eveything about God is constantly changing in people's minds (due to all sorts of things that happen)...
so, i do belive she is right in calling God her's...because no 2 Gods in people's minds are identical...i also doubt that 2 Gos in the same mind would be identical (but's that's off-topic)
oh, and she may belive in a different eligion to you (that explantion took a bit less explaining)
(sorry about the lack of relative pro-nouns, but i don't know what God's relative pro-noun is)

it seems it doesn't take much to turn a religious comment-based appology into a science lecture, albeit a very jumbled-up one about several different things at the same time
