      Yeah, that one caught me off guard too… Pretty sure it doesn’t.

        The bible has a bunch of different references to oil, as it was used a lamp fuel(and some rituals).

        This one refers to Revelation 6:6

        And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

        From KJ or this one from the NIV

        Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

        Referring to how the price of food would go up, but oil and alcohol would not.

          Pretty disingenuous to suggest that has any relation to fossil fuels and using them in internal combustion engines.

          But, then again, that’s what Christians excel at: rationalizing their awful beliefs.
