Not everyone who speaks for God, seems to have communicated with God
Chicken eggs are parve (neither milk nor meat) though unlaid eggs, being part of the chicken, are meat. (http://judaism.about.com/library/3_askrabbi_o/bl_simmons_eggs.htm). But how about monotremes (duck-billed platypus and echidna or spiny anteater, egg-laying mammals)?
See Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotreme) for examples.

First paragraph of the abstract:
The world of germs and microbes has received much attention in recent years. But where do microbes fit into the creation account? Were they created along with the rest of the plants and animals in the first week of creation, or were they created later, after the Fall? These are some questions that creation microbiologists have been asking in recent years. Ongoing research, based on the creation paradigm, appears to provide some answers to these puzzling questions. The answers to these questions are not explicit in Scripture, so the answers cannot be dogmatic. However, a reasonable extrapolation from biological data and Scripture can be made about the nature of microbes in a fully mature creation. This article attempts to provide reasonable answers to when microbes were created and is meant to stimulate discussion and further research in this area.
“At the end of last week, the state’s most important Roman Catholic leader, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, designated the bishop of Brooklyn, Nicholas A. DiMarzio, to be the church’s point man in Albany. Bishop DiMarzio has at times provided interesting insights on this issue. In 2004, he suggested that accepting same-sex marriage could put New York on a slippery slope toward condoning marriage between humans and animals.
“You want to reduce something to the absurd, which is basically rhetorical use of an image: Why can’t we have marriages between people and pets?” the bishop said during a radio interview. “I mean, pets really love their masters, and why can’t we have a marriage so they could inherit their money?” (Not to ride this train of thought too long, but Leona Helmsley showed it was possible for a dog to inherit money without the trouble of a wedding.)
Asked if same-sex unions may be a pathway toward other forms of legally sanctioned marriage, Bishop DiMarzio said, “It certainly is.”’

Not everyone who speaks for God seems to have communicated with God. This site is dedicated to the collection of pronouncements by individuals whose vision appears to be questionable. Enjoy and contribute as you wish. Contributions and suggestions are welcome. They may be added as comments to the appropriate page. However, they will be moderated, and references are required.
The quotations, taken from many sources, are assembled by subject rather than by religion (see header) to demonstrate that no single group has a monopoly on foolishness. As the comments indicate, they can be ranked as mere time- and effort-wasters (as perceived by others) and comical to those that are malicious or even vicious in intent. As no evil is intended here, we prefer to collect those pronouncements that do not cause pain or suffering.
