Transcendent Man - internet religion?

Like it or not, we are being molded by our experience here on the internet. Ray Kurzweil's film trailer seems to be one summation of that molding as an ideology, dare I say "religion"?

A pseudo Last Supper shot?

Is it me or is this shot from Battle Star Galactica intentionally reminiscent of the Last Supper?

Vatican finally decides holocaust for real

Bishop Richard Williamson

Late last month, the pope revoked the excommunications of four schismatic bishops from the ultraconservative Society of St. Pius X, including Bishop Richard Williamson, a Briton, who in an interview broadcast last month denied the existence of the Nazi gas chambers.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the Vatican Secretariat of State said that Bishop Williamson “must absolutely, unequivocally and publicly distance himself from his positions on the Shoah,” or Holocaust, or else he would not be allowed to serve as a bishop in the Roman Catholic Church.

The statement said that the bishop’s recent comments denying the Holocaust had been “unknown to the Holy Father at the time he revoked the excommunication.”

Efforts to reach Bishop Williamson were unsuccessful, and he issued no public response. The bishop has a history of public statements denying the Holocaust.
