''little bit of a stretch''
An architect has leapt to the defence of a penis-shaped church.
John McLane - who did not design the religious building - insists it is a ''little bit of a stretch'' to compare the Illinois Christian Science church with a member, despite several people pointing out the image when it is viewed on Google Earth, Saukvalley.com reports.
The church appears to look like a person's manhood when viewed from above, but the church has drawn the unfortunate comparisons because it curves around a large tree in its grounds.
