After I retired from the military we headed up the AlCan back to Alaska. When I was in the left lane passing a Motorhome the old driver in the motorhome veered right into us, but as I prayed for help what I saw was the motorhome physically go right through us as if we weren't solid matter. I later told a pastor about this and he told me he'd heard a couple of similar stories of miracles on the road. I figured God wasn't through with me and my family just yet. He loves us so much!

TT has some of the most amazing stories to tell on RR... Speaking of which, why do they all go tell their pastor and mention it? I'd be telling every freaking person I saw if I vanished. (And be promptly locked up in a padded room, no doubt, but that's beside the point.)
lol
I'm starting to think RR is a troll site and they get jollies off of all of this
At this point, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
"...but as I prayed for help what I saw was the motorhome physically go right through us as if we weren't solid matter. "
What you saw was you closing your eyes and hitting the gas and looking up to see the motorhome behind you 'cause you'd sped up before he got behind you.
That, or you're lying for jeebus again.
Aw come on, now!

What, you saw a fucking caravan about to smack into your car and off you and your gawdfearing little family - just in fucking time to slip in a quick "Our Father" and a rousing chorus of "All Things Bright and Beautiful"?
In that actual scenario, you would have time to think this:
?!
If you're going to make up a fucking miracle, there's no need to bludgeon the readers over the head with "btw I'm the holiest guy ever!" bull.
Or is this the "God answers prayers with miracles" saga that Raptards and other fundies like to invent? You know, that "argument by confabulation" routine that y'all are so goddamn keen on?
Tall Tales here is gnawing on my last nerve like an infestation of woodworm.
"I later told a pastor about this and he told me he'd heard a couple of similar stories of miracles on the road."
I pretty sure your pastor said that since he isn't a licensed psychotherapist and he didn't want you to think you're a nutcase.
My college roommate became a minister, and she says she hears bullshit stories all the time. She only takes action if the person appears to be a danger to themselves or others, otherwise she smiles and says God works in mysterious ways.
Once when we were visiting my cousin in the Himalayas, his dog fell down a bottomless pit. We looked in our rucksacks for rope but there was nothing long enough. We trudged through the snow to the next valley and hailed a passing ice-cream van. It stopped and we asked the driver for rope. He checked his freezer compartment but there was nothing among the frozen lollipops.
We decide to buy some ice-cream while we considered what to do next. The ice-cream vendor held a cone under the ice-cream machine and pulled on its lever. Imagine our astonishment when instead of the expected ice-cream, out coiled the longest piece of rope I've ever seen.
Taking the rope we rushed through snow and ice back to the next valley. Imagine our horror when we found the valley had flooded in a sudden storm. Dash it, we thought. Now what. Imagine our surprise when a periscope suddenly popped out of the churning waters. Frantically gesticulating and jumping up and down we managed to attract the Captain's attention and the submarine surfaced. Borrowing some diving gear, I dove into the flooded valley at the spot where I reckoned the bottomless pit was. Sure enough there was the entrance to the pit. I continued on in to the pit and after what seemed like hours, reached a ledge. But there was no dog. Fearing that I'd run out of air if I continued on, I turned and struggled back to the surface.
Wearily, we slowly made our way back to my cousin's place. Imagine our surprise to find his dog happily barking as he ran towards us madly wagging his tail. He must have been able to swim up out of the pit. God sure loves that dog.
Did I mention that it was quite a shaggy dog? Not that it's particularly germane to the main events of the tale. Or is it?
Late at night, on the mid lookout watch, in the middle of the ocean, I, too, have seen many strange sights. Yet, tired as I was, I knew they were impossible, so I enjoyed them and tried harder to stay awake. Truck drivers see things, too. I believe they call it "The Black Dog".
Or the light played a trick on you.
I have seen a drunk driver in a Volvo come right at us in our Ford Transit, and there was no going through us as if we were not solid matter. It was an almost head on collision, which made our car turn over and land down in the ditch. We survived, all six of us, which feels like a miracle. But we were all of us belted down, and the car was not crumbled in that much, so it protected us.
Sounds like someone had a bit of a minor nervous breakdown when the motorhome came rushing close.
Under insane traffic conditions, I've had a few encounters like that one -- albeit, without the exaggeration or the crazy -- simply because it can be difficult to keep track of every car on the road, and with ridiculous blind spots like my car has, in some cases, for a fraction of a second, the other car might as well have disappeared for all you'll see. So yeah, there been a few times when the other car has "miraculously" not hit me when all observable data on my end said that it most likely WOULD -- does this mean I should assume Tall Timber's imaginary friend isn't through with this atheist just yet? Am I in the wrong when I simply assume that my judgment those times was incorrect, thank my lucky stars for the missed collision, and keep on going?
HELP ME, TALL TIMBERS, I GOTTA KNOW
Heh, from the end of the thread :
"Hey folks, the mod team has decided to close this thread. Let me give you the rationale"
Followed by a very bubbly way of saying "At least half the lies posted above this are to damn ridiculous for even nutcases as gullible as us to swallow. Y'all are a pack of worthless liars".
Even their own mods can't stomach the crap they're shoveling.
@ Caretaker:
Nicely nailed!
@ Jasper Spotty-Butt:
Loved it. :-)
What a fucking bunch of moronic psychopathic liars.
Are these people really so stupid they think this bullshit is true?
When I was a kid my parents sent me to this Bible retreat (1970s) and this guy Richard Mixon (I remember still because of its similarity to another liar) who was invited to witless, er witness, to us.
The original thread's been locked as people have been posting stuff too whacky for even some rapturites to swallow.
I never thought I'd see that.
Someone over at RR recently claimed others saw her as a religious nut. If your colleagues claim they can drive a car through a motor home as though it wasn't there why are you surprised?
I'm more concerned that Tall Timbers claims to have been in the military. The idea that someone let him loose with anything more dangerous than a cotton bud is terrifying. Imagine being in a war zone and the guy watching your back thinks he's indestructible because he has an invisible friend. That's not a situation I'd care to be in.
People don't think when they say things like this. If it were a miracle and not just an illusion caused by the adrenaline rush of almost being in an accident, then it would mean that God ~doesn't~ love anyone that does die in an accident, crime, war, etc. Are you prepared to say that God doesn't love any of those people?
Wow, someone's perception of reality suffering as the result of a stressful situation. What a miracle.
Our brains suck at accurately recording details that occur during traumatic or extremely stressful events.
Stop taking those pills and stay off the road until you stop taking those pills! Holy Shit! Jesus, can't you stop this shit?
Poe? So hard to seperate Bullshit from Bullshit X
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
