Christian lecturer compares gay sex to sword fights, pastries and carrots

You know what’s awesome? When the people least knowledgeable about sex decide to talk about sex anyway.

Take this a-hole from Ignite Church, for instance. In all likelihood, this guy probably thinks babies come from storks and girls pee from their butts.

No, seriously, this is fucked up. Look, it’s fine for someone to be an idiot. It’s not fine, however, when you start instilling your own stupidity in others. Just because you can reduce something fun and complex to a joyless, simplistic exercise, doesn’t mean you should.
