To say he's got some vested interest in the affair is an understatement. If you want faith, take your own word for it, thats what its all about.


Short version: The pope saying there is a god is like saying the sky is blue. Its how they see things.

Yeah, they don't do that anymore, apparently.

Ah, let's see the Pope, yes, studied him for a long time, as a traveling man, we must ascertain the goals of the Vatican before they do more crazy stuff like A) Aid the Nazis, B) Kill Science, and C) Land Grab.

Let's get some things straight.

The pope is elected by calling a Conclave, which is the meeting of all the high ranking bishops in the world. (Of which 1/5 is South American and 2/5 is now African). They must vote 2/3 in favor of a new Pope, if this vote is not met, then they will do so again and again. The white smoke actually declares that there was dead lock in voting and that there has been no decision by the way.

The popes number 2, the Carmellego (SP i'm sure) is acting in as the Pope for all intensive purposes until the new pope is declared.

To be elected, it's better to A) Be 55-70 years old, B) Be Italian, and C) not be American.

However, the problem this time is that there will probably be a black pope, which by all means is okay by me, however, the "older euro-regime" will stalemate this vote for weeks.

Also, Yoshi, you're an uniformed twat, keep playing your 120 hours of warcraft and keep feeding your girl twinkees (as sorry bro, no girl that has a goal in life is staying with some fucko-schmuck who spends 90% of his free time playing games) and stay the hell out of informed discussions.

This election bears watching, the outcome of this could be terrible for the world.

Besides, the church doesn't look too kindly on blatant lies either (well, the Bible doesn't... whether the church does is a different story), yet that didn't stop him in this case.

---

The irony of a book (and the church that uses it as it's groundwork) which contains stories in which people part seas and talk to burning bushes, fit two of every animal in existence onto an ark, and turn water into wine looking down on lying is overwhelming.

And who are you? Some nobody. That's the point. If I'm religious I'm going to be taking a religious man like the Pope's word over your own.

I will, and my word says the Pope owns you in these matters.

If you're going to insult someone don't apologize. Be a man about it.

In matters of faith, my opinion matters just as much as anyone else's. But congratulations on taking someone else's word on it. If faith was provable then an expert's opinion would matter more. But then again, god being provable that would defeat the entire idea of faith.

Everytime I see him lying there on TV I expect him to just sit up, look around, then lay back down. He just looks so REAL.

LOL. It was either the Pope's or yours. Just because I agreed with the Pope over you doesn't mean I'm blindly taking him over you. But in matters of faith I think the Pope's opinion matters a lot more than yours.

If I'm on trial I'm going to take a lawyers council over some schmucks.

You should've posted the masturbation one. It was funny.

I figured I would start slowly.
