Brief bit of Hitchens on the subject of the ten commandments. It's interesting to note how many different versions there are in the old testament.

I didn't know which thread to put this in, but I think this one is more fitting by a hair.

Sandy Hook Massacre - William Lane Craig, PhD

Jesus F Christ. A crazy king two thousand years ago (may or may not have) killed a whole village's worth of newborns, so Sandy Hook ain't a tragedy as much as it is a lesson, amirite?

Two members of the Westboro Baptist Church, Megan Phelps and Grace Phelps, defected, apparently.

Pope Benedict XVI resigns, citing health reasons

That would explain why he looks more like Emperor Palpatine in every photo. I figured he was just accruing dark side points.

At least he stepped down before his jaw fell off or something equally horrifying/hilarious.

edit: on the other hand, Cyber-Pope

What the hell are you talking about? He's ALWAYS looked like Palpatine.

Quote from: Wolfgang

To circumvent any complications due to age in the forseeable future, the new pope will be a 17-year old skateboard superstar, will also molest himself for the sake of convenience

Quote from: ThornGhost

Oh man, this should have been a 1990s era Disney Channel Original Movie.

Trailer:

Voice over: John Paul Jr. was just a normal kid trying to make it through high school.

Quick shots of JP Jr. skateboarding, getting his lunch tray flipped out of his hand by a bully when he waves at a pretty girl and then getting yelled at by his principal while he and his best friend pull a wacky prank.

Voice over a shot of the college of cardinals looking confused and scratching their heads while looking at a sheet of paper: But when a mix up half a world away makes him the new pope, JP's life goes from ordinary...to heavenly!

Shot of someone taking a sip from the communion cup. They screw up their face and say "This tastes different!"

The priest says "It's the new rule!" and points. The camera does a quick zoom over to an open bottle of Surge which has clearly replaced the communion wine while a record scratching noise is made.

The chorus of Smashmouth's "All Star" kicks in.

Two church-officials look scandalized. One says: "He installed a skate park...in St. Peter's square?!" We are then treated to a scene of said skate park with tons of people using it. Tony Hawk skates by in priest robes.

Voice over: But with graduation approaching, this may be JP's last chance to ask the girl of his dreams to the big dance.

A mean looking cardinal tells JP: "The Pope cannot date, your holiness!"

JP looks crestfallen.

Voice over: Now he's going to have to balance his life as the holy father with that of the American teenager!

Quick shots of a few monks jamming on guitars, then a stuffy looking bishop break dancing and JP ramping the pope-mobile daredevil style over some cars.

Voice over: Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars in...Homecoming Pope!

Only shooting stars break the mooooold

I don't care about the pope, but a Québécois cardinal is in the running and I'm kinda rooting for the home team on this one.

Man, and I thought my opinion of scientology couldn't get any lower.

So apparently there may be a scandal in the Catholic Church involving gay orgies with prostitutes?

I can't be the only guy thinking that sex scandals involving consenting adults are a huge step up.

Next, they'll graduate to using condoms!

There's a new Pope in town, and he's Argentinean.

TA · « **Reply #238 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:41:36 AM »

He's Italian, born in Argentina. There's a difference.

Ziiro · « **Reply #239 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:50:29 AM »

The fast pick has me feeling like he wasn't a controversial choice, meaning he probably won't be that different than his predecessor?
