Translated from "Liberation", nov. 12 1993:
At the Divine Love Sanctuary, a place dedicated to the cult of the
Virgin Mary in Rome, devouts may find a small electronic box that
will guide them through the recitation of the rosary. [...] the
$50 video game is decorated with a Madonna in a blue robe. Two
keys, "mysteries" and "Ave Maria" offer the choice between the
chaplet or a sequence of prayers and invocations. Several
mysteries are offered to the recitants' piety: "merry",
"sorrowful", "glorious". [...]
Next: the Passion of Christ (extra bonuses if you get the fourteen
stations of the Cross right) as an adventure/action game?

Wrong. God is not the ultimate file server.
God is the SOURCE CODE of the UNIVERSE. Due to cosmic intellectual PROPERTY
PROTECTION laws, we are not LICENSED to access the SOURCE CODE when we LOG IN
to the UNIVERSE. GOD is NOT LIABLE for INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
resulting from our use of the UNIVERSE. The UNIVERSE is not warranted for
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS for any particular PURPOSE. You may have
additional LETHAL RIGHTS in SPECIFIC LOCALITIES.
The HOLY SCRIPTURES of ALL RELIGIONS are the USER MANUAL of the UNIVERSE.
Like all user manuals, they are incomplete, inconsistent, and in some places
simply incorrect. USER INPUTS are printed in RED. System outputs typically
DEVIATE from those WRITTEN in the MANUAL. PERFORMANCE may FLUCTUATE due to
SYSTEM LOAD. These MANUALS were written by CONTRACTORS who did not have
ACCESS to the SOURCE CODE and who did not fully understand the NATURE and
PURPOSE of the UNIVERSE. Only the most OBVIOUS FEATURES are DOCUMENTED.
The book of GENESIS is MISTAKEN. The world was not CREATED in SEVEN DAYS.
This is a CORRUPTION of the ORIGINAL HAND-WRITTEN RELEASE NOTES, which
PROMISED that the UNIVERSE would FUNCTION CORRECTLY after SEVEN UPDATE
RELEASES.
Certain GNOSTIC WRITINGS are the Program Logic Manual of the UNIVERSE. Like
most Program Logic Manuals, they can GIVE some useful insight into the SOURCE
CODE but they have not been KEPT UP to date with CHANGES.
The SOURCE CODE is DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS but is otherwise POORLY
MODULARIZED. No one can LOOK UPON the SOURCE CODE and RETAIN HIS SANITY.
God is not the ultimate file server. God sent his ONLY REBOOTED SUN to be the
ULTIMATE file server.
Maybe I'm not kidding. LOG ME OFF or send me twenty MARIA THERESA THALERS.
