What are some of the weirdest, most bizarre statements a theist has made to you? I'll get this ball rolling.
I used to date an extremely religious girl (make your own assumptions as to how that worked out), and we went to see the movie Splice with a friend of mine. I'll let you do a search on the film rather than explain it, but suffice to say it's a strange sci-fi flick. Really strange actually. Anyway, this girl cries after the movie because she felt like she had committed some sort of offense toward god for watching what she described as the filth and debauchery in the movie. I mean, the movie was weird - really weird - but filth and debauchery is a vast overreaction. It was insane. I didn't know what the fuck to say. "It was just a movie," and other sentiments fell on deaf ears.
I have another involving my twelve-year-old nephew. About a month or so ago, he killed a deer and my brother called me to help drag it out of the woods. I drove over to where they were at and the kid starts talking about how he shot and missed the first time but hit the deer on the next shot. He then made one of the weirdest, creepiest statements I've heard in a while:
"I missed it the first time, but God gave me a second chance and I took its life!"
Fucking. Creepy.
