Vatican has so much cultural history behind closed doors, it would be awesome if it turned into an open museum. Maybe get every book and paper they have scanned into a digital library. And if that doesn't arouse you, there's probably quite a bit of vintage porn too. :-P

@JoshwithaJ No, having sexual intercourse with someone of the same gender is 'gay'. Using 'gay' as some sort of slang for anything else makes the speaker sound, well..immature. ~ SeanwithanS

Calling yourself a 'bright' is gay.

You're watching one of the founding fathers of a better world.
One of team of doctors finally cutting the umbilical cord that's prevented 'homo rationalis' from being born.
He is, by a thin margin, smarter than the others.
He explained consciousness. He really did.

adv00cate:
if you've read any of sam harris, you'll remember he points out that the problem with these atheist dictatorships is not that they are against religion but that they are too much LIKE religion.
adoration and emulation of one individual, accepting his orders and wishes, and the discouraging of dissenting views.
these totalitarian states may have dispelled organized religion, but they maintain and propagate all of its worst qualities.
PS: Deuteronomy 23:2-7
TENTH generation, baby!
