Jesus wept.
But, what does it activate?
Isn’t Jesus ALWAYS on?
And if you make the sign of the cross Eastern Orthodox style, lasers burn you as a heretic.
My immediate thought as well. Isn’t the point of the rosary beads to keep track of how many prayers you did? I thought the tactile sensation of moving the beads through the hands was part of the appeal.
Yeah, but you can sync this one with Pokemon Go and hatch eggs while you pray.
Once again, religion ironically evolves.
But what if you belong to an Eastern Rite church in communion with Rome?
“let God sort them out.”
Man, as a dad of two girls, the story of the woman who ages in reverse really floored me. Especially having to deal with the “where is mommy?” question. Deep stuff.
That may be the most succinct “the thread is over” post ever.
I dunno, looks like it’s evolved titaniumically.
You know, it that thing actually prayed the Rosary for you I might consider converting.
You have to pray properly at least an hour every day to keep your Tamagotchi Jesus alive.
I don’t think its the worst thing ever but this can be accomplished with a simple app and existing devices sooo… ok then.
No, Jesus burst out laughing . .
