But...last Thursday I watch flipping channels and he was on, and my 16 y/o son was watching and I decided to keep it on. He is a math whiz and basically a nerd, but the math of Grant's thing and the Scriptural support, my kid figured it out pretty quick. Pretty cool, I thought. It was good for him to see how exact God's Word is, since he was attacked by a demon Saturday night!

WTF is a flipping channel? Is it a channel entirely devoted to aerial acrobatics? Does your son do math and read the Babble while watching aerial acrobatics? Was he attacked in the armpit by the mathematically gifted Demon of aerial acrobatics?
Well, thats all I could make sense of. Mmm... word salad.
Course he was. Course he was....
How "exact" are those 4-legged insects and cud-chewing hares, by the way?
there's an equation for calculating how exact god's word is?
i would imagine it goes something like:
((((sum of) inconsistensies in the bible)/average intelligence when bible was written * number of generations after jesus died that the bible was written) * ((root) x number of people slaughtered in gods name * x number of people ordered to be slaughtered by god (as x-> level of compassion of god, infinity))) * 0
and it's accurate to 0.000001%
@Anna
That's how demons are, and ghosts, and other supernatural phenomena, and God for that matter; they pay attention to you only if you've spotted them first.
Are these idiots into bible codes too?
Amazing how these codes only work in the KJV, not in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or even another English translation.
So, the Rapture was on May 15, 1948??? I'm really confused.
And if they're so "strong in Christ" why do they get constantly attacked? Don't they get angels to look over them and protect them?
RE: Being attacked by a demon Saturday night:
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Puddy wore red face paint to the hockey game and scared the hell out of the Spanish-speaking priest by beating on his car windows and yelling, "We're the Devils!"
The priest crossed himself and swore beneath his breath, "El Diablo!"
Maybe that's what the guy means...
you probably believe "buffy thr vampire slayer" is a documentary.
What the fuck is "but the math of Grant's thing and the Scriptural support...." some sort of calculus?
fundamentalists delenda est
ghey4dog is talking about a programme about this dude: http://www.grantjeffrey.com/
Scarier than demons, if you ask me.
P'raps if gheyfer stopped watching 'flipping' channels with his son, the son'd stop getting 'attacked' by 'demons' each weekend ;)
A demon, you say? Well, can you describe it for us? Was it visible? tangible? Was it there at all? What color was it? How tall?
"A demon" is just so ambiguous, was he attacked by inner demons from his past? We get enough of that from Hollywood. We need details if you are to be taken seriously.
I don't think a parent is going to casually say their kid is "basically a nerd." Either the parent is nerd, too and says it with pride, or isn't and doesn't use that sort of terminology. That's my experience, at any rate.
since he was attacked by a demon Saturday night!
Reading that was one of the few instances when the expression LOL was actually accurate. It's totally surreal in a Monty Python sort of way.

What the heck is he rambling about?
Apparently the Book of Ezekiel predicted that the state of Israel would be founded on May 14th 1948, accurate to the day. The math claims to prove that.
Let me guess,
this demon attacked during the night.
Your son described the demon something like that:

And when the demon finally vanished it left a viscous, somewhat smelly liquid at the lower abdomen of your son.
Conclusion: It was a suckubus!
Remediation: Repeated sessions with reverend A. A. Dupré.
Maybe a bit expensive but satisfaction is guaranteed! For references please ask E. Spitzer. Reverend Dupré successfully dispossessed the demons of mammon and superbia!
"he was attacked by a demon Saturday night!"
Yeah, I like video games too on occasion; I hope he had a good group with him.
As yeah, unforunately the glasses, braces, inhaler and maths jokes make the nerdier children a prime target for demons.
And you know who the real victims in this are? The arrogant jocks. Who are they gonna pick on now?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
