What's the creepiest thing a theist has ever said to you?

One told me she loved Jesus more than her husband, anything or anyone alive.

I told her i found that very sad and disturbing.
She's no longer writing to me.

It's way too late for that in my case (Dad's dead, Mom's 87), but you'd think that I'd get at least one of 3 siblings that could see reason. But no, they're all religbious. To be fair, I only got over it a couple of years ago. I am so happy to find out that my sister's kids are nontheists. Yay!
All this is by way of saying I wish I could have some new sisters, and yeah, sisters can be pretty uselss too. Mind you, I like their kids.

Kids are sponges. I keep a couple around in case of spills.

Oh. It's possible I had that backwards. I get kinda confused around kids. All that wasted motion and noise. Very disorienting.

Mmmmm, feel the warmth of Christian love and acceptance.

Seriously, sorry to hear it. Anytime I think my one or two family members' passive aggressiveness is awful, I read something like this and feel lucky.

"God loves you like a Father. No matter where you go, he always knows where you are. You can't hide from the love of God. He just wants you to let him show you how much he loves you and all that you have to do is let him. No matter what is happening in your life, God is always there to love you."

Not said directly to me, but delivered as part of a sermon that some unusual circumstances caused me to attend. It didn't help that the message was delivered by a grey-haired old woman using a sing-song voice. I had to wonder if that's the kind of thing going through the minds of pedo-priests and they're seeing themselves as bringing such 'love' into the physical realm.
