The pope is a man just like me ane you. He is no closer to God than anyone of you. I feel bad that he is dying, but no more than I would for any old man. There is a reason that the catholic church has had so many difficulties and scandals, and that is because they have placed all their faith in men that are sinners just like you and me, and when those men screw it up it seems so unbelievable to those of you who are so sold on their intercession w/ God. Try reading and interpreting the Bible literally and for youself, and then show me where it says anything about the pope. I feel sorry for those involved in a religion so stooped in tradition, and blind to what the Bible really teaches.
"for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
"I am the way the truth and the life no MAN comith unto the father but by ME".
John 14:6
"For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works lest any MAN should boast."
Eph. 2:8-9


Since when were you good enought to get into heaven through your own works?

were all infallible beings, every human, the pope just has led an extraordinary life, and has touched millions of people to live better and more enriched lives, i think he deserves some kind of recognition and reverance for that, in my eyes he is a living saint

atlantaski, you're a bit of a hypocrite, isnt part of being christian being tolerant of others, and turning your cheek and stuff... seems like your doing a really good job of that. I think some people take the whole christianity thing a little too far, as great as it is that you have something to believe in, that doesnt mean that it is the best and absolute truth in the world, and that anyone who doesnt agree with what you believe in is automatically going to hell. are you saving yourself for marriage atlantaski? can you really blame the africans for wanting to get thier shit off?? when jesus was around, maybe the idealisms of catholicism stood true, but after all the events in history that have used that religion as a front have corrupted it and ultimately proven that it is a religion if intolerance and biggotry. During the crusades, the islamics living in spain were a good 400 years ahead of thier catholic european counterparts: plumbing, geometry and algebra, a revival of the greek logos, medicine, 7 course meals, democracy and equality, then boom, the crusades happened in the name of god and the christian faith immediately prolonging the dark ages and setting civilization back 400 years. theres just too many honkeys out there using it as a front for racism and intolerance, i personally feel bad for the pope, but it's an outdated religion and one that i feel no one can rightly crusade for in our modern society

I think that, although he deserves some respect for the good he has done, what he has done is highly over rated. There have been many others who many people havn't even heard of.

i didnt take the time to weed through all the bullshit and intelligent posts so im risking being redudent, but here it goes anyways. I have been raised catholic but dont practice and have a lot of moral objections to religion in general and how it has been twisted and used to justify violence ect.. but there's definately a shitload of people in here condemning him without any more valid reasons then "the pope sucks" or something to that effect, but hes not a bad person, just cause you disagree with him, so whatever if people wanna pray for him let them

All right im not religious, so i dont care much more than if some random guy that hadn't affected my life had died. It's always sad to see someone die, so I do have a bit of cpmpassion because he was a religious icon for many people. Now thats it but I wish people and the news would just stop talking all the time about him cuz I dont really care that much his prayers probably havent helped me in anyway, so may he die in peace and he'll go to heaven and blablabla...

anybody who denies condoms to people who need protection from STDs like AIDS is an asshole in my book. (if you dont know, the pope did this to the south africans)
Also why do poeple care if someone is gay or not or if they can marry or not, didnt jesus preach equality!

Being a non-religous person, I'd just like to state to all of you bible-thumpers out there, to chill the fuck out. I'm not talking about someone who practices their own beliefs in a way they feel they need to, or anyone of any particular religion. I'm talking about the people who feel the need to push their beliefs on me. If i thought the same way you did, i'd already be part of your same religion. So respect my beleifs and stop feeling superior to them and feeling that you must "save me from the devil" or convert me.

As far as i've experienced i have no reason to believe in any prominent religion. They are all too contradictory in their actions to what they state. Jihad, is byfar, the worst excuse for a war that i've ever heard. what happend to preaching tolerance and understanding. Understand that some people don't want to belive what you do!

And also, as far as religion goes, there is no proof of any of them. they are theories, the Theory of Religion, a belief system. not proven! there is no scientific basis for the majority of what the bible says. Religion was developed to explain natural occurences, like floods, droughts, or earthquakes. people didn't understand why these tthings were happening because they didn't have the scientific explination or knowledge of them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, but they are not entitled to their own facts. the data is the data!

So in short, believe what you want, practice what you want and i have no problem with that or with you. but when you push your beliefs on me, you've crossed the line.

I sorta feel sorry for the pope because of all the shit he had to go through, like when he had to stand on that balcony and give a blessing when he couldn't even talk... all he probably wanted to do was lie in bed and die.

I'm not at all religious, but I'm not just going to say "fuck the pope" or whatever. That's sorta harsh, and a bit hurtful to any catholics around here.

Incapable of failing; certain: an infallible antidote; an infallible rule.

pope style - Incapable of error in expounding doctrine on faith or morals.

yes. the pope was an old man. its a shame for people (e.g him) to suffer, but everyone dies. the pope may have done some good things, yet he was also responsible for a lot of AIDS in africa. he was by no means perfect.

A lot of good all your praying did. He's dead. Or were you just praying for his soul? If so, why? Wasn't he already going to heaven for being so pious? Or were you concerned that he may be sent into eternal anguish for perpetuating one of the most hypocritical and intolerant religions on the planet?

Yes, I'm baiting.

so who will be the next pope?
how about Will Smith, i hear he is pretty religious.
No wait i know, Jessica Simpson goes to church right?
Oh, i got it, Beyonce Knowles has been up with her hommy god since day one.
Wait a minute.
Apparently, god only gave the ability to speak to god and to be the head of the entire church to caucasian males.
This sounds fair...i mean it's not like they are advocates of equality...or wait..i'm confused.
Maybe this pope thing has a lot less to do with catholicism then we think...maybe it's just a power thing.
Once a female or non-caucasian pope is voted on, then i'll be a lot more convinced of the "holy" role of the pope.
Until then....you have to admit it is sexist and racist, and you cannot argue that point.

Buddy, you have to look at all the things the pope is for.

Along with being against all forms of birth control, he is also for people being faitful and not having sex until marriage. If everyone followed this, AIDS would not spread.

But hey, you don't have to agree with everything the pope believed in. I don't. But you have to respect him as he stood up for God's message and never waivered from his beliefs. He also had an incredible political impact.

He was one of the most loved and influential people of our time.

Its so ridiculous how people are coming on here and saying "fuck the pope."

If you don't believe in everything he stood for, fine, I don't either. But don't come on and criticize when you don't know what you're talking about.

This thread has pissed me off so much its unbelievable. Show some respect. The Pope was one of the most beloved and influential people of our time. He stood for what he believed in, and never waivered. Even is you don't agree, at least give him some respect for that.

He changed the world.
