I like this new Pope. He's trying to do everything in his power to drive Catholism into the ground. Maybe we can get a "God-appointed" leader for Jews or Muslims to do the same thing.

Isn't that kind of the problem with Muslims? Aren't there like a half dozen guys who claim to be chosen by god to speak for him, purge the infidels, etc etc?

[SineSwiper]

Well, if you consider Al Queda to be "chosen by god", then whatever. Of course, I guess Muslims have an image problem already.

Is that virgin thing even true? I mean, is that really in the Quran? If so, it seems an horribly childish thing to put in there just to attract horny teenagers into their religion. And what about the women? Do they get 72 virgin guys or something?

[Tessian]

Attract teenagers? I dunno about you...but no matter how horny I was as a teen I wouldn't have given two shits if a religion promised me 100 virgins when I died. Unless you're getting me laid soon while I'm alive they can go to hell

"Lift the blindness from the eyes of the Jews", eh?

...maybe we can get him to add something about Scientology?

Something on the order of "And, Lord, if our deepest prayers have meaning in this transient world, please, please deliver us from Tom Cruise."
