The only humor I find in this is the clerk's marriage and pregnancy
history. It's quite colorful and demonstrates her hypocrisy about her
alleged religious beliefs.

That was before she was "saved" ;-)

That's one of the funniest things about christianity...marry four times,
have babies by a guy you are not married to at the time, but you marry
later, maybe, while you are still married to a different guy
and...voila, find Jesus and you are "saved." Heck, different
circumstances, but I'll bet Dick Cheney can be saved, too.

That is why the religion is attractive,. You can ask for forgiveness
on your death bed and be saved.

You mean, of course, delude yourself into thinking you are "saved."

You can't question this woman's faith if you ignore it's main tenet.
At that point you are just mocking all religion ... which you do.

Of course I can question her motivations *and* her faith. The tenet that
you can ask for forgiveness on your deathbed after a lifetime of
possibly horrific sins against your fellow man and have your religion
tell you you'll get it is way way up there on the chart of religious
absurdity. I wonder if Hitler "found Jesus" just before he put the
bullet in his head and was therefore "saved" and found his way into
heaven. Was he welcomed by Henry VIII?

That nonsense was written into the religion by men seeking to expand the
"faith," as was the nonsense about a better life after death, written in
to make the poor feel that their miserable lives on earth didn't matter
because, well, to expand the number of believers.

Millions of people believe that sort of bull****, but that doesn't mean
it is for real.
