Re: RE: New Pope

To me...the pope is just the pimp of the world.

The priest's pimp....things that make you go "hhmmmm"

from that selection, that grapje guy seems pretty deserving. maybe if he is alive in about 10 years when benedict the 16 will die, he could be elected :dunno

it all comes back to politics though

Don't worry guys, it's a total hoax. Don't worry, it's barely at the fringes of my childhood memory, but there was a song about a one eyed-one horned, flying purple people eater. The whole story was building to the last line.

You lost me homie. :dunno

 

[AtlanticBlue99]

to defend my case- if anyone is deeply devote to a religion to the extent of even being qualified for the papacy, then that is a hell of a person who should not be shun down away from the position based on appearance or politics. but the world needs a pope that can solve global conflicts- or at least contribute to doing so.

it isnt good- but it always comes down to politics.

The late 1960's and early 1970's Minnesota Vikings were called the Purple People Eaters, because their defensive line was unstoppable.

I'm not catholic, and not much into organized religion. Gods the man and all, but im not so much into the harsh stuff of religions and all blah b lah blah do this and you go to hell. Therefore the vicker of christ, the pope, doesn't play a role in my life. I can, however, tell you that he isn't this hitler serving naziass ppl make him out to be. I have read up on him and his mother and father were firm anti-nazis. He was about 7 or so and it came time for his "education" or w/e and to my understanding, in germany all the little boys were collected and thrown into the "hitler youth". Not a matter of choice back then. You lived in germany, your son was taken and put into the hitler youth to hopefully be turned into a nazidude one day. When he was able to he got the hell out of there.

Actually, he didn't. He was a little boy. Read my post right up there ^.

Most ppl here that the hope was somehow associated with nazis and ppl immediately imagine up all is bad stuff with their hyperactive imaginations about how the pope is the devil, the pope is bad, the pope is evil, its the popes fault i lost at the casino cause hes the devil, the pope made the light red before I pulled up to it, the pope gave me this headache, blah blah blah...

He isn't a bad guy. Just someone who was made join something as a child. If your daycare was a taliban school, and you were made attend as a 7 year old and you didn't know what the hell was going on, you wouldn't consider yourself a bad person im sure.

 

[UncleBacon]

just giving him a hard time...I'm sure he's a good person

 

[MrAWatts]

He might be, might not be. All I know is he isn't a hitler serving naziass jewhater. Lol. Only time will tell if hes a good pope. He won't be pope for long though, hes an old fart.

 

[horseshoeing]

I think he will be a good pope. He trys to go by the word of god. He don't think that gays are ok and don't think they should be in the church.

 

[MrAWatts]

He doesn't? Thats it, the pope is a dickhead. If someone wants to worship god, let them. They are his children just as much as the next person. Who is the pope to say who can and cannot be involved in the church. If a gay person believe in god, what the diffrence? Sheesh, how about saying people convicted of murder, or ppl who have cheated on their spouses shouldn't be allowed in the church.
