Some more (what I think are....) interesting news stories from this week...

The Lancet has responded to the Pope and his ridiculous claims about condoms in Africa. This is an "unprecedentedly virulent" attack by The Lancet, according the the BBC. There is now a Condoms for Pope Benedict XVI Facebook group you can join!

In other Pope news, the Vatican this week showed how in touch with the modern world they are, by discovering that the internet exists. If they are to use the internet as a guide to appointing new Bishops, then there are BOUND to be some interesting upcoming appointments...

The Archbishop of Canterbury has raised concerns that the BBC is neglecting its Christian viewers.
A spokesperson said "The BBC is a public service corporation. It is funded by licence payers and part of the broadcaster's duty is to represent the population. If it ignored Christians and the church it would be negligent."
To ensure consistency, I look forward to the progamming that the BBC should provide for the 390,127 people (0.8% of the population) who declared themselves as "Jedi" in England and Wales, in the last UK census.

Terrifying news from the UN, regarding "defamation of religion" now being declared unacceptable. This was voted for by the "Human Rights Council", who clearly decided that forgetting what "Human Rights" actually means was appropriate on this occasion. This was, of course, proposed by Pakistan, and supported by other such caring Islamic states.

If you've ever heard or used the phrase "Evolution is just a theory"... then read this. Language is important, and words do not always mean the same thing in all situations.
