Eggs Benedict XVI

No surprises this time round. Our man in V-Town (the good cardinal Rat Josephsfinger) had even been given odds of 7-2 by the bookies. Is there a papal tote?

What it means of course, is that the Catholic Church remains firmly mired in its own backward bullshit. And by this I mean that the interpretation of the "Word of God" is unlikely to change in the near future. Our only saving grace (pun intended) is that he's old, and thus will no doubt be on his merry way before too long.

Digressing slightly...I'm conversing with a friend via IMS as I write this piece, and she raises an interesting thought: How do the jews feel about the fact that the new pope is a German?

Now there's wafer for thought.

Use the dogma Luke.

All religions have a cornerstone of blind acceptance of dogma.
You either believe, or you don't. There is no shade of grey.
In my view this is a good thing. It brings clarity, if not reason, to a complicated issue.
After all, religion is not about this life, it is about the next.
That might be a topic for the Ways to Die BLOG

Well, that adds fuel to any self-proclaimed conspiracy theoraist. Hitler may be dead, but his fucked up maniac side kicks still roam the planet.

Never mind. Who's your Bagdaddy now?
