The last panel is ambiguous about whether the woman is having an emotional breakdown and lying on the ground in tears, or if she was killed by her son and was crying as she died. Both would work as someone being "convinced" their religion is wrong, as being dead would "convince" you about god.

I think it's the former, but i see the latter.

Honestly I initially interpreted the comic as a joke about the dichotomy of how the son would feel good about it but it's a lot of emotional processing for the mother.

The last panel isn't ambiguous. She's emotionally shattered because her fantasy was destroyed.
