Enough about that. There’s the VAN. Yes, we had been praying for a larger vehicle to travel in, and the Lord answered. We now have a 1999 Dodge mini-van. Most of you are saying, “No big deal” but wait— this van only had 8,000 original miles on it when we got it! WOW! Of course, God’s timing is impeccable. He gave us the Van and now the Honda is sick. But, He knows that and His will is done in vehicles as it is in everything else.

Yeah, I know the kind of action god takes from time to time. For example, my brother needed a car fast, as my dad drove to someone while working, who just happened to have one spare car there (which he was about to wreck anyway). The car was useless because the former owner, the customers dad, died recently. So god killed that my brother could have a car. I like god! He cares for my family, except for my grandparents who are already all dead.
Friends of ours wanted a new computer once, about 4 or 5 years ago, and were in the local Heilig-Meyer's store which was going out of business. The store manager sold them one of his old machines, which (being a business computer and all) was much better than their old machine. I called serendipity, they called the Hand of God.
Praise the lord! Millions live in poverty, pointless wars rage and there's no cure for cancer, but at least Teens-4-Christ have a new mini-van. Keep up the good work, God!
Broken Egg:BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...AHA...AHA...AHA..HA...

"Enough about that. There’s the VAN. Yes, we had been praying for a larger vehicle to travel in, and the Lord answered."Prove it. Prove that your having that van is the result of prayer.
"We now have a 1999 Dodge mini-van."
Great. Bully for you, but show us that it is the result of your prayers.
"Most of you are saying, “No big deal” but wait
this van only had 8,000 original miles on it when we got it!"
It's low-mileage is just keen, but can you prove that your getting this van was the result of "God" answering your prayers.
"WOW!"
Wow, indeed.
"Of course, God’s timing is impeccable."
Even if "God" gave you the van, his timing is late. You wouldn't have been praying for the van if you didn't need it. "God" the omniscient could have provided you the van before you were so needy that you decided to pray for it.
"He gave us the Van and now the Honda is sick. But, He knows that and His will is done in vehicles as it is in everything else."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. "God" supposedly gets you a van while thousands of children starve to death, while armies in Africa enslave children as brutal soldiers in "His" name, while diseases run rampant through human populations, his special, in-his-image creations. Your idea of "God" is one with assholy priorities.
This reminds me of the; "god restored a dying plant after my cousin prayed for it," post. All hail the almighty god, healing plants and giving you a new car while ignoring all those prayers to heal supposedly god loving folks who are dying of cancer.
A seven year old car with 8000 miles?
Was I the only one to recall this gem from Janis Joplin?
So you spend half your life praying and preaching, and your god gives you a used Dodge minivan? Come ON. I spent about five hours, tops, spreading smallpox at a local orphanage, and Pazuzu conjured up a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE for me, spankin' new.
How did God give you the Van? Did it drop down from the heavens, or did it just appear on your parking-lot? Was it hot-wired?
I'm not that good at miles (we use the metric system over here), but our new car, which we bought with money we had earned ourselves, had only a few hundred meters on it when we got it.
Jesus, the second hand car dealer.
And I will add my voice to those who have suggested that a God who answers prayers for cars but not for a cancer cure is worth less than a pile of dog crap and is not worthy of any love or respect whatsoever.
Further, I also suggest that your story is either coincidence or a flat out lie. Anybody can make shit up, and you fundies are the world champs at it.
Coincidence? I think NOT!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
