From The "Who Gives A Sh*t" Department

"Vatican forgives John Lennon for Jesus quip"


Honestly, why do they even bother?

I doubt Lennon would give a sh**t either what the Vatican thinks.

Wasted forgiveness.

On the plus side. They are getting faster. They apologized for the inquisition and the persecution of Galileo just in this century.
Heh.

Sandi - No kidding. The notion that a throwaway comment by a rock star would cause such grievous injury to the Vatican is laughable to begin with. What a bunch of fatuous blowhards.

Pale - LOL. Yes, they've always been quite avant-garde, haven't they?

Mitch Potter reported in the Star about the Church of England website suggesting they owe an apology to Charles Darwin for "misunderstanding" him, as England celebrates the 200th anniversary of his birth. Everyone cools off and becomes a little more reasonable given enough years. In a couple more centuries American evangelicals will come around too I think.

I agree that if that happens it won't be in our lifetime.

Bowler: I saw the documentary Jesus Camp last night, after I had written that sentence. Now I'm not so sure they'll ever come around. Some people are just instinctively frightened by reason.
