Slaggis Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 The pope has said some pretty contraversial words in his lastest speech. He states that: ‘Everything that serves to weaken the family based on the marriage of a man and woman, everything that directly or indirectly stands in the way of its openness to the responsible acceptance of new life… constitutes an objective obstacle on the road to peace.’ He Belives that Gay Marriage is the biggest obsticle to world peace. Not war etc, but gay marriage. Any thoughts? Just for funsies, he's a random picture of the Pope: EDIT: Lies! The global warming thing is rubbish. The daily mail took him completely out of context. Damn them and their lies. The gay marriage thing still stands though.
Cube Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Emperor Palpatine is right about the global warming rubbish (except for telling us to not save energy), but completely wrong about the gay marriage thing.
triforce_keeper Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 My thoughts are he's a fucking idiot. Seconded. ....does anyone else thinks he looks like Satan? D=
EchoDesiato Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Who cares about anything that old geezer says anyway (except for way too fanatic christians)? Seconded. ....does anyone else thinks he looks like Satan? D= I think he looks more like Saddler. And he's small-time.
Slaggis Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 I can't stand they guy. He's the one that influences millions of Africans (and other people obviously) to not wear condoms and in doing so, in Africa especially, spread aids. Also, the gay marriage thing is ridiculous, I mean how is that the BIGGEST problem to world peace? Infact, how is it a problem to world peace at all?
Shino Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Being the pope and all who would have thought he would say such things ... :P His serving his beliefs and thats his job. I think its way worse when non religious people say such things about global warming.
MoogleViper Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Also, the gay marriage thing is ridiculous, I mean how is that the BIGGEST problem to world peace? Infact, how is it a problem to world peace at all? Because gay men getting married will cause a rip in the space-time contium casuing all sorts of chaos from the other place to come pouring in. It's a ticking time bomb.
Slaggis Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 Being the pope and all who would have thought he would say such things ... :P His serving his beliefs and thats his job. I think its way worse when non religious people say such things about global warming. But the Bible doesn't say "Global warming is wrong! Believe in it and go to hell!" etc so the fact he's the pope shouldn't make a difference.
BlueStar Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 The Daily Mail took some serious liberties in quoting him on global warming. Here's what he actually said http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2007/12/simon_caldwell_is_a_liar.php We need to care for the environment: it has been entrusted to men and women to be protected and cultivated with responsible freedom, with the good of all as a constant guiding criterion. ... it means not selfishly considering nature to be at the complete disposal of our own interests, for future generations also have the right to reap its benefits and to exhibit towards nature the same responsible freedom that we claim for ourselves... The problems looming on the horizon are complex and time is short. In order to face this situation effectively, there is a need to act in harmony. One area where there is a particular need to intensify dialogue between nations is that of the stewardship of the earth's energy resources. The technologically advanced countries are facing two pressing needs in this regard: on the one hand, to reassess the high levels of consumption due to the present model of development, and on the other hand to invest sufficient resources in the search for alternative sources of energy and for greater energy efficiency. ... and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances. If the protection of the environment involves costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the different levels of development of various countries and the need for solidarity with future generations. Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken

Here's what he actually said http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2007/12/simon_caldwell_is_a_liar.php The bastards! Thanks for finding that BlueStar. What the hell will the Daily Maily com up with next? I got this from a mate who read it online. Not from that website though. -- Mind, he still mentioned the whole gay marriage thing being the biggest problem, so I'm not defending him.
AshMat Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Well i'd never support him on the grounds he's a christian. And as an atheist it's kinda hard to support that.
Nintendohnut Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 My thoughts are he's a fucking idiot. Quoted for both hilarity and truth. I lolled.
Gizmo Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Because gay men getting married will cause a rip in the space-time contium casuing all sorts of chaos from the other place to come pouring in. It's a ticking time bomb. Thats not the only thing that will get ripped if ya know what I mean.
Noodleman Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Wasn't he in the Hitler Youth? 99% of German children from that era where it doesnt really prove anything.
Tellyn Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 99% of German children from that era where it doesnt really prove anything. But still I don't really think he's the right man to be religiously leading millions of people.
ShadowV7 Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Guys an idiot. I hope some gay assassin goes and kills him soon.
Owario Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Guys an idiot. I hope some gay assassin goes and kills him soon. Yeah, that'd show him how wrong he is!
AshMat Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Guys an idiot. I hope some gay assassin goes and kills him soon. AS long as he follows. The ASSASIN'S CREED .. *cough*
ReZourceman Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Religion is the definition of EPIC PHAILAGE.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 He Belives that Gay Marriage is the biggest obsticle to world peace. Not war etc, but gay marriage. The quote from you doesn't show that the pope said it was the biggest obstacle to world peace, just one obstacle on the road to peace. Roman Catholics follow the pope, not Christians. Catholicism teaches those in Africa to abstain from affairs and pre-marital sex; that would prove effective in preventing tyhe spread of aids. (Maybe not as effective as condoms.) It's weird/dumb as hell that they chose to follow the "no condom" thing but are happy to break the "no sex except in marriage" part. Makes me think it's more cultural than a religious adherence. Saying religion is evil is just a throw-away exaggerated comment. The majority of religions encourage their followers to only do good and love others. I'm not Catholic and don't believe that the pope is a part of God's church.

I didn't say it was christians, I just mentioned the Pope. Also, I don't hate all religions, I just dislike some people in them. But don't you think it, because he has so many followers etc, that he has the responsability of saying things like "use a condom" etc?
EchoDesiato Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I'm a pastafarian, I'll never support anything that old roman catholic leader says. The IFSM has bigger balls than his "God" anyway.
