"Almost every day my 7 y.o. son says "I love you mom, but I love God and Jesus more". And then he usually asks if that's o.k. with me. I think he's afraid of hurting my feelings. I always tell him "That's how it's supposed to be!". My 4 year old is starting to understand a little better. Whenever he sees something beautiful he always says "Look what God made". They both ask me questions about Heaven quite often. I haven't told them that there's a possibility of us not being together when the rapture happens. I don't know how to address that with my 7 year old. I don't want him to be afraid to go to school, worrying that he'll be away from me when we're raptured. After reading this thread and seeing that other moms are talking to their kids about it, I think I'll tell my boys tonight. I want them to be prepared when the time comes, and I think it's coming soon. I've had a very strange feeling inside for the past couple of weeks. I wake up several times during the night, and every time I wake up I'm thinking about Jesus. I've also been having awful nightmares. It feels like a spiritual tug of war going on in my head every night. Here's a sign that we're getting close: my stubborn old husband is finally reading the Bible for the first time in his life! He reads it for hours every day. That is a true miracle, LOL. Two nights ago he thanked me for leading him to being saved. I never thought I'd see the day that my husband and I would be reading and studying the Bible together. "

Lately I've been waking up several times during the night, and every time I wake up I'm thinking about sandwiches.
Does this mean I should worship the guy in the deli section of the supermarket that slices my turkey breast oh so thin?
Well it's good you're not abusing your parental authority to spread mind-viruses that have absolutely no proof or chance of actually happening, thus corrupting their minds for the rest of their lives and causing them to be mocked by their peers for their clear insanity.
HA HA HA DISREGARD THAT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU MORON.
You're a terrible parent.
Children at that age don't have enough problems with separation anxiety. You go right ahead and make it worse.
Who cares if your kids are basket cases? It's for Jesus.
It's not as if the level of education you're going to allow them will let them amount to much in life.
While you're at it, get them to wear little paper hats and say "Do you want fries with that?".
What I want to know is why her husband, presumably a tepid Christian if not an atheist (judging by his previous treatment of the Bible and "unsaved" state), married this fruitcake. Did she get sick and need a brain transplant after years of marriage, and the only donor was a fundie who "didn't need hers anymore"? Seriously, WTF?
One of these days, each of your kids will become teenagers. No, you won't be vacuumed up to the sky before that, or ever. Neither will anyone else.
When your kids get old enough to start having thoughts of their own which may be later than their friends do, since you're working to keep them imbecilic they will probably realize that you totally deformed their childhoods and kept them scared shitless over your delusions.
They will hate you, and rightfully consider you a lunatic. Congratulations.

wet dreams? it's okay...he's a very handsome man.

That is not the same as understanding, if anything it is the opposite. You are teaching your child that "goddidit" is a good explanation for everything. That is wrong and immoral.

Can't blame you there. Even when he was being crucified, that guy was totally hot.

Just admit it, Mortok. You often daydream of some strapping specimen of Roman masculinity coming along and impaling you with his long, rigid spear of destiny. *saucy wink*

Why? Do you have someone in mind?
I don't have much of a problem with you teaching your children to love God, or with your husband and you spending time reading your Holy Book, but good grief woman! Stop obsessing over death and take your kids to the amusment park or something. Play a video game with them. Read to them (books OTHER then just the Bible) and let them have lives!
I mean, GOD DAMN! What is wrong with you people!

"Why? Do you have someone in mind?"
Well, I don't actually have any Italians in my recent ancestry, but I'm sure that, if you were to ask me nicely, I could cosplay fairly well as a soldier of the old Roman empire.
This post made me want to vomit, then cry.
It's so, so, so terribly sad.

Hot damn, I'm salivating just thinking about it. Too bad we're on seperate continents. But if by some fluke we ever meet, I'll be more than happy to dress up for you.

are we talking about World Youth Day Jesus? because he was hot...really hot. impossibly hot..well, i lie because he was that hot so therefore it isnt impossible...
@Jaces Ci
I didn't pay much attention to World Youth Day. I'm going by all those paintings and sculptures. According to them, Jesus was seriously built.
Dunno why he spent so much time wearing that moomoo. If I had a body like that, I'd spend ALL my time nailed to a cross, wearing nothing but a loincloth.
Children do say things like that if they've been taught to. I've heard it myself.
Those poor kids. Let's just terrorize them from ever wanting to be away from their mom...serial killers for Jesus...at that age all these children should be worried about is whether Santa is going to bring them that cool fire truck or that neat set of Lincoln Logs for Christmas...
I'm just stunned at these crazy ass people. So their kids say they love them but they love God and Jesus more and many fundies say they will sacrifice their children if God tells them to do this to prove their faith (I'm sure they can explain this vs. abortion vs. old time family values). Who kills first? I'll stick with my paganism and love my daughter and hubby.
zookeeper: your husband is reading because he wants you off his ass and will say anything.
If she really followed the Bible then she shouldn't be married to her husband in the first place
Corintians 2
6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
As a result IF the Rapture occurs she won't be in the express line inn any case ....problem solved
DH finally gave in to the nagging, and whinging, and weeping, and wailing, and endless "you're going to hell", and upset kiddies - "why are you going to hell, daddy?" and started reading "the big bokk of myffs and legends"
Your son is four years old and is repeating what you have been telling him since he´s a baby, so no surprise here. He´s doing what Jesus actually said you shouldn´t do, "you can´t love a God you can´t see if you don´t love your brothers and sisters you can see". The reason is, in my opinion, easy. In practice, God doesn´t tell him to go to bed when he wants to play video games, he doesn´t force him to eat his vegetables, doesn´t send him to school and monitors his homework, doesn´t discipline him if he misbeheaves...........should I go on?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
