That I just have to post it here.
This is not Catholic bashing, by the way, it's celebrity bashing. And probably ageism.

3. And now in Catholic neighborhoods there will be riots and calls for
the person who created it to be stoned to death, there will be firebombs thrown at the their home country's embassy.

Oh, wait. That actually won't happen.

7. Can you imagine if a Muslim Cleric

called Christian infidels and stated their religion was one of violence and war?

Get real. There was a temper tantrum thrown here because of a likeness of Christ on a coke glass.

8. Are you saying that doesn't happen every day?
I'm sure it does, somewhere. But individual Muslim clerics aren't going to get the media attention that the Pope does.

9. Exact terms used were evil and inhuman
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”


And you are right. If this exact same phrase was issued by a Muslim cleric (substituting Christ for Muhammad), people would be talking about nuking the middle east.

4. The question is whether the Catholics and Mormons put

the senile in charge? So far, the answer seems yes. They try to control the speech, but can't always.

This Pope has been able to set back religious peace by decades. All in the name of God and Christ.

Did he take lessons from Ann Coulter and Limbaugh?

10. Something in his eyes
Fills me with dread. And while I was raised Catholic, I'm an atheist now, so it shouldn't matter, but he looks older and more evil than JPII ever did.
