And He Struck Down Upon The Sinners With His Holy Bat'Leth

So, you believe in the Jedi Church, eh? Perhaps midichlorians flow in your blood? Have you found a life within the balance of the Force?
Well, nuts to that. You should join a *true* religion, a properly monotheistic faith, like Judaism or Islam.
Or Klingon Christianity.
Oh yes.
It's a thing.

What, you thought all those klingon weddings took place without His holy presence? Pfft.

First Gay Presbyterian Minister Ordained

Which is awesome. And more importantly, this is not necessarily a isolated event. Now that the ban on homosexual ministers has been lifted completely, there could be any number of homosexual ministers in the future. I'm not Presbyterian, but that's very cool.

Oi Vey

Here's another good example of the clash of Judaism with modern culture.
It's a webcomic about a rabbi talking to a Jewish robot called "ShaBot 600". Most of the jokes are puns, and puns that require a basic knowledge of Judaism, too.



Yeah, they're all pretty much like that. And so far, there are 174 of them.
WHICH IS TERRIFYING.

And While We're Talking About Things That Are Borderline Offensive...

Here
is a link that discusses the use of caffeine suppositories during Yom Kippur, which involves a 25-hour fast. Apparently, a suppository does not break the fast, but will still keep you energized and alert during your prayer.
...
What.
This seems like a pretty solid example of what happens when ancient religion clashes with modern-day standards and technology. As the article states, "These guys love a good loophole."

EDIT:
Oh my goodness, it's everywhere.
