Last week, my 10 year old presented me a picture he painted. Nothing unusual about that as he is a really talented little artist who has won a few art contests at school. He titled it "Rapture" and it showed a car crashed into a big gas sign along a country road and on fire. The gas price was $6.14. On the other side of the road was a man kneeling in prayer. Various pieces of debris were scattered around. Hmmm. Yesterday when I was on my way home, gas was $4.16- the reciprocal amount from his painting. It made me think about it again... [...]

Poor kid, his brain is corrupted by a death cult...
It made me think ...
I doubt it.
You've been watching too much "Heroes"
...aah but then again, I doubt that show would be allowed in your nazi-fundie household.
Read the rest of the thread.
Even the other fundies warn against looking for "personal messages from God" at the risk of being, at best, a false prophet to oneself, and at worst, flat out crazy.
Yeah, your kid is dyslexic, and you missed the Rapture.
your life is going to suck!
We're paying £1.30 for diesel here at the moment. That's about $2.60. Per litre. Works out at about $12 dollars per gallon.
Yeah, wish the rapture did happen, then we could have 60p petrol :)
@^light^:
Cults are more rational.
Normal kid: draws a car crash, calls it Car Crash, has parents worry about him.
Fundie kid: draws a car crash, calls it Rapture, has parents think he's a fucking prophet.
That's not the reciprocal! The reciprocal would be 1/6.14!
Besides, are you saying that your little boy's suddenly a prophet? Careful, he's liable to be stoned if he makes a false prophecy.
You know, I filled up today and when I looked, I had bought 26.66 litres of petrol. It made me think, damn that was expensive (£1.13 per litre, or a little over $10 per gallon for the Americans among us). The folks at RR would have probably thought "OMGZ 666 must be rapture!!!" and followed up with an excessive no. of smilies.
Still no rapture, though.
This is a true story. I went to Canadian Tires in 2005 and got a spindle of burnable CDs, the change from $20 was $6.66! But that's not all. I went to Dairy Queen, ordered a fish burger combo, and it cost me $6.66! I had the exact change ready.
And nothing happened after that.
And if a 10 year old kid is drawing pictures of people being disfigured and tortured, and evil monsters sending death rays to kill their neighbors, and stuff, I would question what is being put into that child's brain. Your child's semi-apocalyptic drawing is just one step up from that. This sounds like a bad made-for-tv movie.
I'm guessing that this poor child attends a Christian "school", like his parents before him. I don't think that he would be winning contests, for his apocalyptic art, in a school run by professionals who aren't bat-shit crazy.
OH NO! IT'S THE BACKWARDS RAPTURE!
IT'S THE ERUTPAR!
Yesterday when I was on my way home, gas was $4.16- the reciprocal amount from his painting.
Ah ... the anti rapture, when God sends back all those pecksniffing, holier-than-thou hypocritical fundies He took up the first time. Even God would get fed up with the RR types.
I'm more concerned with the idea of gas being $6.14 per whatever unit it is you Americans use (gallons?) Worse yet, $6.14 for litres.
Seriously, though, $4.16 for gas? What does she drive, a hot wheels car?
4.16= April 16th= My mother's birthday!
Your son is WEIRD. When I was ten, I was drawing pictures of Sailor Moon being killed in horribly graphic ways.
I'm not sure if my parents ever found them, but if they did I was planning to say that I only did it because it was rude to draw an actual person, ha.
After the fact, of course, but it came to light that the two little bastards who shot up Columbine had "created" some pretty nasty "art."
Which is all the proof someone should need that this kid DOESN'T go to a normal public school.
Hey, 67X, d'you see omens in bowls of Alpha-Bits and alphabet soup, too? Because you're seriously putting the 'mental' in fundie.

So....two unrelated numbers got you into a thoughtful mood about your fairy tale....
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
