"Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches."

*Sigh* and so it begins.
For a man in the Popes position, a man of power, a position that just commands respect and loyalty, who's thoughts effect millions of people.. he's a total dumb ass.
This why Dogma piss me off, and why people piss me off. Here's millions of people that are going to start a holy war JUST because some
asshat says 'If it's not Catholic it's shit.'
and they will blindly follow him just because some other group of men said: 'Yeah.. this guy.. he's
da Pope'
WHY would the Pope try to start a fight? WHY would a man of that position be more worried about how/what other people think then worry about the greater problems of the Earth like the Bush
presidency, world hunger, Global warming, and that we are slowly killing everyone off the face of the earth?
Growing up Christan and though all the studies I've done on different thoughts and ideas about 'God' or what ever you call your higher power.. they ALL say, pretty much, the same thing:
1) Live with Compassion for your fellow human.
2) Don't harm each other or yourself.
3) Earn the Respect each other.
3 simple rules. Which most people (Thank God) tend to follow.
*shakes head* I just don't understand it people. I don't understand why people get caught up on shit like this. HOW many people have been killed in the name of 'God' or some other god like figure? How many wars have been started because some people refused to believe in a God you tried to force them to believe?
if we ALL followed the 3 simple rules above.. there wouldn't be a REASON to have religion.
and 1/2 of the worlds problems would just melt away.
I'm going to start a church and call it '
Pogism' There is no church building. You don't need to send me (well you could if you wanted. ;) ) or anyone else money. You don't need to get out of bed early on Sunday to listen to some man
basically tell you the same thing over and over. You don't need to stop looking at
Internet porn.
All you need to do is follow 3 simple rules:
1) Live with compassion for your fellow human being.
(Of ALL races.. Which I really shouldn't need to point out)
2) Don't harm each other or yourself.
3) Earn the Respect each other.
That's it, that's all there is to it. Is there a heaven or hell? yes, but that's what YOU make out of life. It's YOUR life and it's YOUR hands. Don't try to hand off your life to something else to live for you. Better yourself, and make your life heaven for you, and if that's sitting around the house naked eating cheese-its. Who am I to judge what makes you happy. =)
If you can life by those 3 rules, welcome to the church of
Pogism.
Everyone is welcome as long as you follow the rules.
and what if you can't follow the rules? Will you burn in hell? No, but then you can't be in our click and you'll feel bad because you can't be apart of the fun and we'll mock you behind your back and call you a 'Sheep' because you are unwilling to unlearn what you have learned and to afraid to think for yourself. Sheep just huddle together and do what they are told.
Are you a sheep?
