      It easily could. Religious funerals often say stuff like “were giving them back to you.”

      Except if she means that her body is sending them back. Then the post makes a lot more sense, her blaming god for miscarriages.

        But the post says she sends them to god, not god sending and taking back so she clearly doesn’t blame god for miscarriage

            Yes, if my body miscarries, I send the baby back to god. If I blame god for that, I wouldn’t phrase it that way.

                I love how I try to figure out the most likely intended meaning by thinking about how the one thing and the other would be most likely expressed but you win the argument by saying “YOU wouldn’t.” Whatever, this is the internet

                  I’m just saying how the post makes the most sense and am pointing out to you that how you would say something isn’t necessarily how somebody trying to make a funny post would say something.

                  If your intention is to win an argument on the internet where the average joe decides who wins it by some dumb points than good luck with that.

                    I was calmly explaining how your reading makes no sense to me and you didn’t engage with any point I was making. That’s why I’m surprised how I’m downvoted. I’m not trying to win, I’m just expressing my surprise. But I don’t really care. Unless you decide to engage with anything I said, this conversation is over.
