"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day." -Douglas Adams

I love it when fundamentalists talk. Especially when they attempt to make analoges:
Fundies Say the Darndest Things!: "OTOH, if they simply cannot control themselves and they are compelled to go rut in the bushes with everything they meet like animals in heat, then they takes their chances with whatever they get. Blaming that kind of behavior on the Catholic Church [spreading misinformation about condoms] is like blaming Smith & Wesson for somebody that plays Russian roulete with one of their pistols." - Claudius Lysias, ChristianForums
So, to complete his analogy, Smith & Wesson should be free to misprint the instructions on every gun they sell, and perhaps publish warnings that "keeping the safety 'on' may cause gun to fire accidentally." This would match up well with the Catholic church's "Condoms cause AIDS" educational campaign in Africa. The site linked above is great. I had a really hard time choosing a quote for this entry, because there are so many great ones .
