What would Jesus do (with an iPhone)?

One thing He wouldn’t do is allow anyone to absolve their sins through an iPhone application, according the Vatican. All Catholics must visit with an ordained priest in order to receive a valid penance and be forgiven for their sins, the Vatican said today.

Frankly, it seems as if Herr Von Popenfuhrer figured out that he wasn't getting a cut of this action. Wait until they figured out how to give the Vatican a few bucks and then it will be approved.

If no one goes to a priest for confession, it eliminates the ability for them to pick targets.

That would reduce church attendance which is always a plus.... unlimited materialistic consumerism, you are our only hope ^^

I remember going to my first confession and trying to think of shit to "confess". I think I told the pedophile that I fought with my brother and disobeyed my parents. But now when I look back on it, I think of how stupid the whole charade was. What the hell does a seven-year-old have to confess? What's the point of the whole thing? Make me feel guilty for acting like a kid?

I wish I could go back to that time so I could "confess" that I stole pornographic magazines from the newsstand, enjoyed shooting out our neighbor's windows with my BB gun, set fires in the school bathroom, shoved firecrackers up the ass of a cat and lit them off, threatened schoolmates with a pocketknife for their lunch money, lied to my mother about why the dog really died, and that I got my 6-year old cousin to kiss me on my pee-pee.

And the best part is that the pedophile couldn't tell any of this to anyone! He'd think I was a sick little fucker but he couldn't do anything about it!

Now that would've been fun!

For the record, I was trying to eat and started giggling helplessly at that, Thor. Thanks.

It was fine until I snorted pomegranate salad dressing up my nose.
