The strainer reminds me of this group who came to my school Junior year. I don't remember their name, but they were these whacked out fundie body builders who tore phone books apart with "the power of God". They weren't allowed to actually say anything about religion, but they still preached to us and fed us bullshit stories (one of the guys claimed to have spent the majority of his childhood locked in a cage). Anyway, they were giving us a lecture on abstinence, and to demonstrate that condoms can't stop you getting AIDS, they threw softballs through a volley ball net.

And how would not using condoms prevent you from getting STDs?

And how would not using condoms prevent you from getting STDs? It's not just not using condoms. It's not having sex at all until you are married. As we all know, the sacred act of marriage creates a magical forcefield that will prevent you from getting any and all STDs.

Spiritualnihilist: Knowing the secret of the whole tearing-through-phonebooks thing, I'd have systematically exposed all of their bullshit to a live audience. But that's just me.

ADDENDUM: IIRC, at least one WWE wrestler was once a member of The Power Team (his in-ring name was Rico, if memory serves).

There was at least one study, though admittedly with a small group, involving couples where one was HIV+ and the other negative. Where condoms were always used, there was not one case of an HIV- becoming positive. Not one case. At all. Condoms work, dammit. And this is what pisses me off so much about the whole "HIV will get through a condom" lie -- not only is it wrong information, its dangerously wrong. And anyway, the "HIV is smaller than the porosity of condoms" story is true... if you're talking about animal skin condoms, which no one recommends for disease prevention, and I'm not even sure if you can even find them anymore. Its not true of latex condoms, which are what you get if you go to CVS 1 and just ask for a box of condoms. I know the intent of the message is "wait till you're married", but the unintended consequence is people who are going to have sex and believe that idiocy are going to forgo using a condom because they think it doesn't matter, and sex without a condom feels better. 1 As a complete aside, my partner's asshole brother at least used handle condom purchasing for one of the major drug store chains. We found that quite amusing, considering that we thing he's a complete dick.

A few years ago, you could still find animal skin condoms in drug stores. Dunno about now though.

I wonder if it would only catch the 'retarded' sperm that couldn't figure a way through. no wonder fundies are worried, that would increase intelligence of the human race

Intestines are skin? Since when?
