Posted September 16, 2010 Yes, that's right, His Holiness The Pope is coming to the UK, landing in Scotland shortly. It's not exactly like he's being welcomed with open arms - on top of the underlying issues of contraception, reproductive rights, homosexuality and the abuse scandal, there's the £12 million tax bill, the plan to arrest him for crimes against humanity and, most recently, the claim that the UK is 'like a third-world country. Personally, if someone eggs him or steals his hat, it'll be worth every tax penny. What do you think of him, and him coming here as a state visit? Are you planning on going to see him anywhere?

Posted September 16, 2010 Pretty much my feelings. I wouldn't care if it wasn't costing the taxpayer money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2010 Annuit Coeptis Novus Ordo Seclorum Boss just needs to debrief the new guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2010 Yeah, he's currently here in Edinburgh today, blocking everyone's bus routes and generally being the most digusting use of tax payers money (in facilitating his trip here). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2010 Personally, if someone eggs him or steals his hat, it'll be worth every tax penny. If he came near me, i reckon i could throw a few eggs that way. People say he's the devil, or even the Sith leader. I mean, you decide on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2010 Do you reckon I could get the Vatican to pay for a holiday to see them? I don't mind not having a special bullet proof vehicle or a welcoming party at the airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) I didn't go for the obvious in all fairity. Edit: God this is desperate (Live TV Shindig) It's just weird, seeing a bunch of dead old men, a bunch of presumably fairly intelligent people, and a bunch of people who can't even see the stage, just idolising this prick as if he's the coming of a new batch of monarch pokemon trousers.

Posted September 16, 2010 This is what disgusts me most The Catholic Church in Scotland had hoped to attract up to 100,000 to the event, but later reduced the capacity after a slow take-up of tickets. Source: BBC news So not only have they got a fucking expensive free trip, they can sell tickets to what should be a free event? Are the majority of followers being taken for saps? Yet it's quite funny how they treat atheists as if they're stupid and are just following a fad, when they are the ones who aren't buying this shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2010 Sorry I haven't commented much, I've been too busy aggressively secularising and marginalising Christians with my faith-based atheism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2010 Pretty much my feelings. I wouldn't care if it wasn't costing the taxpayer money. Same here. Enough people believe in him and would probably get some kind of joy out of seeing his popeliness coming to the UK but I don't see why EVERYONE has to pay for it. Where do I send my letter requesting a refund? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2010 boo! Stay away from Ireland! I would say the same thing but I don't pay any tax. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
