One of my sons came to me when he was about 4 years old and said, " If dinosaurs lived before man, how did man know dinosaurs lived".
Now you dont think a 4 year old could think so abstractly and it stunned me a bit.
If your childs question was simular to this, you can say.. truthfully, That dinosaurs did not exist before mankind. We know this because death did not enter in until after the fall. So, if death didnt happen until after Adam sinned, then the dinosaurs would never have died out. They had to die after the fall and after the existence of mankind.

And here, we see the most tragic scene yet. The parent here is infected with "religion," and the disease is now in its replication stage. Since the son is only four years old, his intellect is not fully developed yet, and he has little chance of fighting off the infection.
Cousin Ted, that's virtually word for word what I would have said. You pegged it perfectly; the metaphor goes a long way toward showing just how well this qualifies as child abuse.
TastyHamSandwich, you assume that the kid will get to go to a non-fundie type of kindergarten; in all probability, the parents will either homeschool the kid or send him to a religious school to further fill him with this garbage. I think he'll be lucky if he's able to finally throw off the mental shackles by adolescence.

It is post like this that make me not want to come here. I would prefer not hearing about all the young minds being corrupted by fundies, especially if I can't do anything about it. And, to think, the Catholic Church indicted people of "Corruption of the Youth"... The irony is bittersweet.
yeah, THS, that gets me a lot.
The way fundies quote something a small child said, as if to say "wow, look at the depth of my child!", when really, any sensible adult would thereafter furnish the child with an answer, rather than saying, wow, my kid must be on to something!
I have a better one, which got a real response.
"If the bible was written before anyone alive was born, how do we know god wrote it"
My mother's response: "That's been my question for 20 some odd years"
Of course, until I get my copy signed by god himself, I don't buy it anymore. And if I do get it I will post a link to the ebay auction.
How do we know them bones is from dinosaurs? Its because Dinosaurs existance is carefully explained in the Bible. Humans and dinosaurs continue to co-exist, although some of the bigger ones got eaten.
You see, after the flood, all them trees was wiped out. This made the air thin. because the air was thin, dinosaurs (called dragons back in them days) was always running out of air. This made them easy to catch and they was good eating. My grandfather said that he heard stories of people catching dinosaurs and making burgers out of them.
TameVine, you might want to do a little research.
BigChickenDinner, practice your trolling methods a little more. Paraphasing Jack Chick marks you as too obvious a fake.
Yeah, you could say that, if you just like to fuck with childrens' minds, and if he's only 4 he might accept it. Left alone to figure things out, though, by the time he's your age he ought to know better than to repeat shit stories to 4 year olds.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
