    I wonder how the vote would look had you posted this in the Christianity forum rather than AH.

    No I'd just point out the blantant obvious flaws in the credibility of what ever religion we might he speaking about. Kiddy fiddling, embezzling of money, persecution of their own nevermind people of other religions and blatant abuse of their positions of trust just happen to be Roman Catholic specialties :-)

    Whatever people's thoughts are, he is still a very powerful and influential figure in the world. I'm always interested on what he has to say. I'm also interested in what other world figures have to say too mind.

    Although Papa Francesco loses some points with me for refusing to meet the Dalai Lama on his recent trip to Rome.

    You'd think all those Catholic parents would just stop making gay kids.

    More people say this than there are people actually "bashing" the RCC.

    I don't know where it comes from.

    Have you only been born, not had access to any form of media until this very moment or just choose to remain completely ignorant.

    If only to see all the idiot sky fairy believing nut jobs line up to recite repetitive chants about their devotion to an invisible non existent being who is master of a notorious peadophile ring.

    Actually that sounds properly dangerous. Maybe not.

    this type of thing is why threads like this turn to shyte.

    I don't understand why anyone would stand outside to see a fellow from miles away TBH. Maybe if he was a decent guitarist or something. Is he a decent guitarist?

    That might change things

    There was 1 which a mod dealt with. As I said, more complaints about it than actually happen. I recommend reading some of the threads about Islam or the atheism thread to see how wrong you are.

    I'm sorry but go again. If you don't like to hear an opionon that ridicules the lunacy that is religion then with all due respect I suggest that you're modding the wrong thread. Its not as if I'm posting untruths. To subject honest, factual posts to censure purely on the basis that you don't like it is really not much use to anybody. Might be time to take a back seat on this one and allow a non biased mod to step in.

    Genuine suggestion. No intent of further annoying you.
