Pope Says Technology Causes Confusion Between Reality and Fiction

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday October 12, 2010 @04:12AM from the where's-the-reset-button dept.

Pope Benedict XVI has warned that people are in danger of being unable to discern reality from fiction because of new technologies, and not old books. "New technologies and the progress they bring can make it impossible to distinguish truth from illusion and can lead to confusion between reality and virtual reality. The image can also become independent from reality, it can give birth to a virtual world, with various consequences -- above all the risk of indifference towards real life," he said.

It's rather evident you didn't read the old version either, if you think it was Moses who was asked to sacrifice his son.
Fine:
God was like "lol Cain, you pwned ur bro. you gots to go". Cain got totally butt-hurt, so he rolled out. Dude bounced east, and totally s3x'd his wife.
The reader was like "OMG WHER DID SHE COME FROM? Wernt those dudes the first to pop out adam and eve and shit?" And the religious d00ds were like "uh no clue, lol. it was magic."
Better?
