I'm talking about the "is he living on the same planet?" or "did this guy pass 2nd grade?" statements.

And just so this doesn't turn into an attack on our AF Xtians (even though they do preach) I would like to request that you use something you heard in a church, on the TV, on the radio, etc.

I'll start:
I was sitting in a TX church many years ago, listening to the pastor pray using "thee" and "thou" and "thy" at every opportunity. After the service, a young man asked him why he used "thee" and "thy" instead of "you" and "your", and the preacher responded "You need to read GOD'S WORD, young man! This is the way THE LORD talked and wrote. We follow HIS example!"

  Now, remember, there is a long-standing American tradition that preachers don't need to be literate -- they just need to be "called by God".  I really wanted to tell him why Jesus of Nazareth could not possibly have spoken King James' English, but I wouldn't have gotten out of there in one piece.  (And I was with my parents - who agreed with the preacher.)

Anything by either Hovind - they're interchangeable - Ham, Pendleton etc are low-hanging fruit. Too easy. So for my money I'd probably go with that pastor who got caught bragging about punching a kid in the chest for Jesus.

I saw that one, Stimbo. It was mind-boggling.

Here's another:   A Priest talking about the glories of circumcision:

One was describing how the early church tried to require Gentiles to become circumcised in order to be Xtian. He was talking about what a wonderful practice it is, what a glorious way to remind men that they have a relationship with God. He said "I feel sorry for uncircumsized males. They don't have the joy of being reminded, every few hours, that they are special to god."  

I turned to a friend and said "did he really just say, every time I take a piss . . . " [Friend] "Yep. That's exactly what he said."

Age 13 in the deconversion moment. The youth pastor, getting tired of questions regarding evidence and inconsistencies stated " I don't have to prove anything to you, this is gods word and you must believe. That's why they call it faith!" He got up and stormed off. I was out.

Wasn't a priest, but...

I was giving a guy a ride to the staging area at work, when we passed a Buddhist temple tucked away in the dense woods. Pretty impressive building. I made a remark that went something like "A Buddhist temple?!"

The guy goes "Yeaah, pssht. Tear it down. So stupid."
So far so good. I'm with him, it's pretty stupid.

He goes on "ohhh, a bunch of people praying to a fat guy. Dumb. Some people will believe anything. And the other people will do anything to get rich." Hmmm... This guy might be an atheist! Cool.

"There's only one true God." -_- dang.

Ooh, and remember Marguerite Perrin, the PSYCHO GOD WARRIOR?  Of course, she wasn't a preacher . . .

Yes, I remember that punching pastor. But that's rather on the barfworthy line.

I've seen a lot of stupid when being confronted by apologist statements, but as far as stupid goes, I think OP tops them all. It illustrates how closely fundamental ignorance is related to the Lord's word.
