Arguably, then, one could see Second Life, and indeed the Internet as a whole, as a sort of modern secular monasticism. I can even see parallels to the hairsplitting discussions about angels on the head of a pin!

Apparently there are modern Inquisition apologetics, hinging largely upon the fact that everything they did was supported by both ecclesiastical and secular law at the time so strictly speaking the Inquisitors weren't committing any crimes. Shades of Nuremberg...
