"You're going to hell for even asking this."
.......cool.
Even more so if it is said by someone who claims to love you.
It's in the bible so it must be true. Yeah...that book is way accurate. It's been rewritten so many times as well. I have a few SpongeBob books my 5-year-old reads, doesn't mean he's out there under the sea living in a pineapple.
My Sunday school teacher insisted it had never rained before the days of Noah and the flood because rain is not mentioned in the bible until then! Even at 10 years old I knew there would be no pairs of animals to gather together if there had not been any rain before, let alone a Noah. I have to thank him though. That was the loose thread that I began tugging at that eventually unraveled the whole god thing for me.
It is bizarre how "teachers" can try to resolve a youthful inquisitive question about absurdities with even more absurdities. It almost seems like religions are trying to ostracize skeptical minds to the fringes of society at a very young age as reason and logic are simply not tolerated.
Proving what the bible says is true by quoting the bible.
Not in response to a specific question, but a relative (cousin's husband, about 15 years older than I am) who became more religious after his brother died said to me that I'd understand the truth of religion when I was older. I was about 35 or so at the time, and I was incredibly amused that he figured I just hadn't thought hard enough about these topics over the last couple of decades, despite how introspective and thoughtful I am and how carefully and in depth I consider religious topics. It would have been insulting if it hadn't been so absurd.
"We can't understand his plan."
In other words, it seems so awful and stupid to you also, but you are afraid to admit that it is awful and stupid, so it must be beyond your comprehension.
