Nothing is funnier than religion trying to adapt to the 21st century. There is something inherently ridiculous about the Pope on Twitter. Yes... God really cares about how much you worship him on social media.

It's pretty silly, but isn't social media a part of what religions have always aspired to? "Spreading the Word" is what evangelism is all about, right?

Edit: ^that's the Technopope by the way.

So that's what the Sunday school teachers meant by 'follow Jesus!'
