Darth Vader & The Icelandic Church? Posted By Mike on July 26, 2008
Our friend Kevin sent over the following regarding Darth Vader making an appearance with members of the Icelandic church:
"This happened in Iceland where the national religion is Lutheren. At the start of a priest "gathering" or "summit", for lack of a better word, 140 priests and all the top players of the Icelandic church took a quiet little photo-op stroll before Mass. A member of the Icelandic Unified Atheist League showed up to pester them and humiliate. The strangest part is that only one tv news network (believe it or not we have 3) and one newspaper (of which we have 4) covered this hillarious mystery guest.
Notice the guy in the red frock trailing the priest procession? That is the bishop of Iceland, the most powerfull man within the Icelandic church. Notice the guys with guns protecting him and tackling Darth Vader for reasons of national security? No, me neither..."
