Funny thing is, a blog post I was reading involving some morons 
questions to the president and Mr. Etcha-sketch about faith brought up 
the comment of which passages, if any, the atheists that posted there 
liked. One involved the smell of asses, and the amount of ejaculate a 
horse produced, as being comparable to some woman's lovers. lol But the 
one that is most appropriate to this, especially given the irony, is:

Proverbs 72:3 -  “A fool may ask more questions in an hour than the wise 
can answer in seven years.”

I really need to try to remember that one. lol
