"How silly this is to watch a guy dressed in elegant robes and diamond rings on the balcony of a mansion talking down to the poor."

I stopped watching Michael Jackson videos after that.

How silly this is to watch a guy dressed in elegant robes and diamond rings on the balcony of a mansion talking down to the poor. Kinda reminds me of watching congress on C-SPAN as a wealthy senator is trying to explain how he let Bush and Cheney spend our tax money on illegal crusades to kill Muslims for Jesus.

"HOW CAN you survive without sexx? You must masturbate right?"

==========================================

There"s a right and wrong way to do it ?...

Hey BagdadsHere7, life without m*asturbation can still be fulfilling.

You should give it a try before you knock it.

As I said, I"m not gay.

But lets not quarrel like this.

Not on Humphrey Bogart"s birthday.

"So, he"s planning on selling all the gold vatican trinkets to get money to give to the poor, right?"

There is some great art in the Vatican that could be donated to public museums.

All the ornate costumes and finery of Catholic religious rituals seems vulgar and gaudy to me.

The Buddhist Tea Ceremony has the superior beauty of simplicity.

"I"m not ever homosexual. Of course you"ll think that"s a lie too."

I meant, I"m not even homosexual.

In my case I"m not ever homosexual either.

In fact I don"t even like s*ex of any kind. I"d rather be reading a good book.

"Of course, the lie that "Christians hate homosexuals" isn"t their biggest lie, just one of their most ignorant and spiteful. The biggest homosexual lie is that homosexuality is a "civil right." This is a sick idea from a group of people living in a se*x-induced fantasy land."

I''m not ever homosexual. Of course you"ll think that"s a lie too.

One need look no further than your posts to see and feel the seething homicidal hatred that many (not all) Christians feel for *** and lesbians.

It is fed and fueled by Bible quotes like these hate-filled verses:

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." - Leviticus 20:13

"In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." - Romans 1:27

I have heard more Christains speaking out against homosexuals than I have heard homosexuals speaking out against Christains. As a matter of fact, it has been reported that homosexual Chistains have spoken out against homosexuals. Then they get caught.

[tangouniforn]

On the other hand, Christians are best known for the excess known as the Spanish Inquisition. It was a bad deal, politically motivated as much as being religiously motivated, but did millions die? No. About 1500-2000 people over about 250 years.

Posted by gctomajtom

Estimates for the Inquisition range from about 1,500 (by the Roman Catholic church) to as many as 5 million (probably too high). The esitmate that I accept (and that is not worth much) is 30,000.

[edward1975-2009]

This is the same " religious" organization that has over a billion in fluid money, not too mention the millions upon millions in property and business ventures. Maybe the Pope should start putting this money to use, as all the other " religious" groups should, towards helping those less fortunate, instead of having these types of assets.

[hetup-2009]

and the intelligent people scaning this story just smile,


then they read this comment


So, he''''s planning on selling all the gold vatican trinkets to get money to give to the poor, right?

[caldwellptr]

I really need to start getting my religion some place other than these comment boards :)

[yongamerica]

The Pope also tells the world to end child exploitation.

The Pope and his church should practice what he preaches.

"More people have died in the name of religion than another cause."

Old age and disease claimed a lot of the survivors.

D*amn you, Charles Darwin.

Actually, it"s the other way around.

"Pope Benedict Arnold Decries Selfishness"

LOL, he''''s a FINE one to talk!"
Posted by newster1 at 01:07 PM : Dec 25, 2008
=========================

I agree. He''s a fine man.

A little out of touch, perhaps, but a fine man.

The Church should allow its priests to marry. They would be more in touch with the realities of life if they had wives and children, as Ministers and Rabbis do.

But be that as it may, he''s a fine man.

[tangouniforn]

This is why homosexuals hate all Christians. Homosexuality is the opposite of Christianity in that it is only for the self-absorbed who do care about or understand normal society.

When a man is not attracted to a woman, or vise versa, and instead is sexually attracted to another of the same ***, a child, animal or dead person, its all the same thing...and all bad.

Posted by gctomajtom

Scientific research has shown that 98 percent of male *** fail to develop female attraction in the brain before birth. This is why homosexuals hate all Christians. Homosexuality is the opposite of Christianity in that it is only for the self-absorbed who do care about or understand normal society.

Scientific research has shown that 98 percent of male *** are that way at and before birth. We all start out as females. We only become males attracted to females when testosterone changes that part of the brain that controls sexual attraction. We would call this a birth defect if it were a physical condition that we could see. Since we cannot see it we want to think that it is just abnormal behavior that *** choose. I am opposed to blaming someone that suffers from a birth depect.

I''m too tired to care to go into grand specifics (that nobody would be bothered to read anyway), because people prefer one-liners and shock jock drivel, but I can''t entirely disagree with your points. :( )

""Pope Benedict Arnold Decries Selfishness"

LOL, he''''s a FINE one to talk! his Vatican sits on a PRICELESS art collection worth billions of dollars, note the expensive chair he is on, you can bet the money that paid for that came from the dumb suckers who donate their money and it sure wasn''''t bought at Wal-Mart."

Posted by newster1


Not necessarily. The chair looks like a priceless antique - it could have been looted or paid from a victim of the Inquisition.

Rich people were routinely targeted by the pope so their property could be seized. Sometimes the victim did not survive the religious "cleansing".
Flames tend to have a detrimental effect on human tissue.
