RE: What's the most face-palm-worthy statement you have ever heard from a priest/preacher

What's really scary is that I heard from several priests of Christian denominations and Mitt Romney that woman can't be raped, because she can squeeze her vagina and block the unwanted cock so therefore rape is not a valid argument for abortion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
