Thoughts?

I heard that the pope banned 'em.

[(s)AINT]

I wonder what those to fellows do for a living. Probably in the religious bushiness making a living off of other people's credulity.

[Agamemnon]

This. Is. Frikin'. WRONG!

[CamilleBonparte]

Catholicism. There's an app for that.

Again iphone shows its inovation, and superiority, above all phones.

I bet next time we should have Adeptus Mechanicus.

It's daft but then it's religion isn't it? So it's perfectly fine imo, and I'm sure God doesn't mind.

[Agamemnon]

I think he does mind, when people are exploiting religion for money. That sounds like a commandment violation.

Perhaps he would see it as money providing a religious service, priests get paid don't they?

no priests are financed by voluntary donations during mass, you can give nothing or whatever amount you like.

At least in this country.

It doesn't mean God would have approved of it though.

[Agamemnon]

It isn't much of a religious service when the Pope banned it. More like a novelty for 11 year olds to laugh about.

[Helm]

Well if people want to buy religiously themed stuff they should allowed to. If wanted to buy a solid gold statue of Buddha I can have one. It's only meant to be a virtual guide, no worse than a book or something.

[Agamemnon]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Still a little wrong, though.

[C-Rob]

I have the feeling that when one talks to an electronic devise instead of a human being it renders everything they say pretty worthless when it's for absolving sins and trying to redeem yourself. Personally, I'm much more likely to actually mean what I'm saying if I have to trek out to the local church and meet with the priest than if I can just tell my sins to a phone. Someone has no idea the meaning for confession.

[Helm]

The Imperium of Man is roughly the equivalent of what Catholicism would be like if it were in space about a hundred times more badass and based on something real. Condoms are still allowed though.

[HansDuet]

Ewww, apple products.

The video said this is designed to organize ones thoughts, not to replace a priest. Plus why would the priest be any closer to God than a person talking to the air around them?
