Oh! The irony!
That may well be true... but as you may have guessed from the content*, your faith in your opinion, by itself, means fuck all to me. That's what the analogy is all about, FFS!

How about some explanation of why it doesn't work? Does it need the Pope condemning innocents to death by AIDs in his opposition to condoms as context? Or is it a more severe flaw than assuming a context?

I'm completely open to having it torn to shreds, publicly. Go for it. I'd rather be made to look a complete and utter tit but have corrected an opinion, than to carry on in ignorance. It has happened before, and it was good. It'll happen again, and that'll be good too. I genuinely hope that this is one of those moments, and not just the exact thing I'm ranting against popping up and missing the point completely. Please.

Alas, given the lack of attention to irony, I find myself unable to hold my breath in the meantime...
