Pick Your Poison

Man, the media's religion-based feeding frenzy is seriously spinning out of control. As if Moses the stoner wasn't bad enough, these other bizarre stories have also cropped up :

1. the pope is planning an April mass at Yankee Stadium
2. woman jailed for worshipping tea pot [actual headline]
3. the Vatican will begin training priests "to be less aggressive and more understanding" during confession, effectively making the sacrament completely useless [what good is obtaining a confession if flogging the confessor's conscience is no longer encouraged?]
4. fasting from technology gains popularity [this is another actual headline ... "pastor Eric Bonness recommends fasting from cell phones, texting, the Internet or TV" ... but then how do you expect people to keep up to date, pastor know it all?]
