A prayer (with annotations):
Thank you for giving us the Origin of Species, Oh Darwin,
which tells us everything we need to know;
(By challenging our faith, you have shown us that evolution
is "teh evil", so must never be accepted!)
Thank you for protecting me from the need
To think things out for myself,
(My pastor tells me you thought up this evil creed yourself,
so I have pledged never to follow your example!)
Thank you for protecting me from the need
To find things out for myself,
(Apparently you also spent many years gathering facts to
support your idea, so facts are "teh evil" too!)
Thank you for protecting me from the need
to ask questions which I don't know the answers to.
(You were a man of science, I hear, well if this is the
sort of thing science leads to, it's not for me!)
Thank you for making things simple.
(Without the straw men we have made from your ideas
we might have had to face up to reality!)
And above all, Oh Darwin, thank you for my ignorance,
for ignorance is bliss.
(Because your science contradicted my faith you gave me
an excuse to ignore it all and wallow in my shallowness! Cheers!)

Yup, fundies sure have a lot to thank Darwin for. He has united them into a single, massive (bowel) movement for the celebration of stupidity.
