I don’t think Ellen is an exception. Her relationship with god is a perennial theme that I think adds a lot]]> 2021-12-07 13:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933424738 andersoncoop https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933426445 It seems she has a lot of faith in god and is Christian, but at the same time knows that Santa Claus isn’t real and shuts down everyone’s belief of him]]> 2021-12-07 13:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933426445 https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933430476 I think that it's not just that though, she has a very complicated life and a lot of emotions come with it that she can't necessarily tell anyone about. It seems like she uses religion when she wants to and has things she wants to say, but then pretends none of it is real when she doesn't.]]> 2021-12-07 13:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933430476 andersoncoop https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933432654 I guess you could say that]]> 2021-12-07 13:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933432654 New Mom https://padlet.com/sohara5/qqcfw2gs957onsq4/wish/1933461935 she cooks really good home made meals
