People growing wiser and NOT following-in behind those judas goats to begin with – would with accomplish that.

I don’t understand this. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin have always told me that a true christianist should want to kill anyone who is an enemy of American plutocrats, consumerism and the policies of the Likud Party of Israel.

What is this “peace”, “love” and “understanding” nonsense this Pope Francis guy keeps spouting?

Pope Francis says the most effective antidote to violence among Christians and Muslims is learning about each other and then accepting differences.

What beautiful, sunny, completely doomed optimism.

The Pope is doing his best to discuss and demonstrate some of the very positive ways in which the concept of religion can interact with human traits, History strongly suggests that, at best, he can hold some territory against the negative uses of religion, and he will never create a permanent shift toward the positive.

Religion, especially monotheistic religion, is just too convenient a way to justify one’s own actions, to provide authority for telling others what they ought to do, and for devaluing or demonizing those with other beliefs.

May he prove me wrong.
