Sheesh, I wonder if this app

Sheesh, I wonder if this app allows the Vatican to track preying and bead fondling.

Yes, it was not a typo, I did not mean praying.

Why just feel guilty on

Why just feel guilty on Sundays? Strap this piece of shit to your wrist and feel guilty all week long. The Vatican is trying to con tech-savvy youngsters into wearing this shit and pull them away from the Internet where they are learning the truth about the Catholic Church and its insanity. The device is connected to the "Click to Pray eRosary" app, which is designed to help Catholic users drop to their knees once again pray for world peace and watch it fail once again, or contemplate the stupidity of the gospel and make excuses for all the contradictions. The only thing missing from this little device is a God detector. A little Jesus on top of the cross that gets a boner and points to God. The little boner would never have to work, obviously, but it might be a great selling point.

"I wonder if the erosary lets priest track their prey?"

Let us examine the technical capabilities first. This app would be created and owned by the Vatican. Technically, it would be easy for this app to forward the stored data to the Vatican because it works through a smart phone.

It is no good unless that data is applied towards the best interests of the company, and thus the data will be available to the priest controlling the parish.

Now the second question..... would the Vatican stoop to spying on people's lives, to use whatever means to control their customer base? Because that is what the Roman Catholics are to the Vatican, a customer base which is a main source of revenue (and power). And little boys.

£85 a time, trust the RCC to

£85 a time, trust the RCC to charge its followers to pray. Shameful nonsense IMHO. Will they be donating all proceeds to funds set up to compensate the many thousands of child abuse victims throughout the word, raped by the endemic paedophiles in their priesthood?

If praying for world peace worked we'd fucking have it wouldn't we, I'd have though even the most blinkered bead rattler could see that much as an obvious fact.

I fail to see this as any different from all the other shameless money making scams they've dreamed up over the centuries.

What baffles me is the steeple don't see though it, and of course why they don't directly charge for communion. The steeple must be content enough to pass over their money voluntarily when that plate is passed around....

Electronic rosary, huh? Hmmph

Electronic rosary, huh? Hmmph! What a waste! All the technology we have today, and THAT is what somebody decides to make with it? For instance, do you have ANY idea how much paper and how many crayons I have used since joining this site in trying to answer those math problems just to make a post?... *shaking head in frustration*... Good grief! Why can't somebody invent an electronic device that add and maybe even do other mathematical computations with just the push of a few buttons? THAT type of device could be VERY useful, if you ask me. At the very least it could help ease the strain on my paper/crayon budget.

Edit to add: Oh, and I even have a suggestion for a spiffy name for the device to grab people's attention and get them interested in using it...

"The E-math-figurer"

Pretty catchy, ain't it?

Wow, did I get in deep. I

Wow, did I get in deep. I decided to check out the "Click to Pray eRosary" app, and this led me to examining something that basically does not require a believer to do anything but make a mouse click. You don't have to study dogma, you don't have to be aware of world news, you don't even have to think about anything, all you have to do is click on the "pray now" button.

I may spend the rest of the day wretching over the toilet bowl, I feel so disgusting and dirty.

I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION:

I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION: BUY A ROBOT TO PRAY THE ROSARY FOR YOU. Then you set the beads and the robot on a table and let them talk to one another until their batteries run out.

Coding a robot to say prayers is simple, requiring a robot (duh), a little code, and a speaker.

That said, we need to evaluate what prayer means.

A devout petition to God or an object of worship. Who in the fuck is going to tell me that my robot prayer is not devout. I am just busy doing other things at the moment. I promise you it is devout. It is a spiritual communion with God or an object of worship, as in supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, or confession. "God is Great and God is Good, Thank you god. The end." Prove it was not devout!

What would be really great is if I built the robot when I was Christian. Then I know for a fact all the prayers I programmed into it were 100% devout. The fact that I later became an atheist would not matter at all.
