Quote# 79401

Hi all.
Our 5 year old son told us that he wants to buy flowers for a girl at school during valentines' day, and she likes him. We were shocked to say the least, and we never expected this. We didn't show our shock to him because we are trying to encourage him to speak to us about anything bothering him, in case he encouters some problems at school like bullying. But we don't know how to manage this. We are glad he told us, which gives us an idea of what's happening in his mind, but how do we manage this biblically? Firstly, does he break Matthew 5:28, or is it just an innocent children's stage? Secondly, will this crushes end on their own at some stage, or is it a gateway to fornication?

I just realised just how difficult it is trying to raise children for God.

Hmmmm... not sure why this should be called a troll rather than a Poe... fundies do say these kind of things.

Poe.

Wait, RR. Shit!

I've read several forums on RR, but even this just goes above and beyond almost everything I've seen. I'm sure there are a few Poes in there. Please let this be one.

EDIT: Oh, thank the FSM I read that this was really a Poe.

Don't worry he grew out of this "giving flowers to girls" crap. He's 17 now, and these days he's waaay to busy with his boyfriend Thomas to do this kind of shit anymore.

Obviously, she is a whore trying to tempt your son into damnation. The proper response is to stone her to death.

You people need to be thrown from the nearest Blimp. If I knew who you were, I'd yank that kid into fostercare so fast the poor guy would have whiplash.

Seriously. Just die.

The Illogical Sandwich

Matthew 5:28 says "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

If I shut down my brain (but keep a little logic) for a moment and look at this as if I were a Creationist, I must ask this: How can someone commit adultery if not being pledged to a partner already?

That's just one of the flaws in her thinking but I can't fit everything in a single comment.

(Just to be clear, I'm a logical person and not a Creationist, I just wanted to point out the flaw while looking from a somewhat logical Creationist's perspective)

But... but... a five-year-old doesn't know what lust is, stupid.

How to manage this? Ask him what kind of flowers he'd like to buy her and that's probably it. This is not even a crush, it will die out on its own, quicker if you don't put down any rules against it.

Yup, as the Bible contradicts itself on so many things its nigh on impossible to raise children for God.

So, a boy giving flowers to a girl violates Matthew 5:28?

How the hell did you two date before you were married? Arranged marriage?!

Innocent childhood love is the most adorable, heartwarming thing I can think of. And you want to stop your son from giving flowers to a girl in his class because it might break rules set down by a fictional tyrant?

I'm going to call troll on this one. Other comments are hurtful, stupid, or borderline evil... This one is just kinda sweet and dumb. Hence, Troll.

Zeus...

Your son is neither psychologically nor biologically capable of fornication. He doesn't even know what lust is yet, let alone be harboring it. This is a perfectly normal childhood crush. It's a way of psychologically trying out romance without the threatening aspects. It will fade out in it's own time.

He's five. He might just want to make friends. And why are you concerned about fornication when he shouldn't even know what that is yet, let alone be able to do so? There's parental concern, and then there's parental insanity. And then there's this.

Poe. Read the name. notwhoisaidiwas. Not who I said I was. As in, not really a Raptard Mother, but a troll.

Our 5-year-old son likes some girl at his school? Better attribute it to fornication to make the situation way worse than it should be.

That's not biologically possible, and the fact that you thought of it in the first place disgusts me.

EDIT: Replace "you" with some other fundie and the message remains relevant.

Um... d'you think you're being maybe too concerned... even a little bit? XD Must be a Poe.

I've found that buying flowers for girls can be a gateway to fornication, but alcohol works much better.

Of course...when you're five...
