From the CH:
“The Vatican newspaper and radio station are criticizing James Cameron’s 3-D blockbuster for flirting with the idea that worship of nature can replace religion — a notion the Pope has warned against.”
I guess they’re so pissed because the Christians thought they’d completely tortured this notion out of the Pagans back in the day.
They spend all this time publicly bashing a film, but privately covering up the abhorrent actions of their clergy, and then wonder why so many of us can’t stand “organized religion”.

zzzzz…………….
nobody but the pope cares what the pope says.
What about his billion+ followers?
Really though, are they even relevant? Look at their track record, not exactly into practicing what they preach, right? Seriously, any other business or operation that had as many sexual predators(just to name one of shitty things they have in their closet) convicted in it would have been axed long ago yet they still keep on chugging away. WTF?
lehova: they just do what they want and say some hail mary’s on sunday.
Well, damn. I dated the wrong Catholics in my teen years! I was with a girl who honestly wrote to the pope every month.
ha ha ha. Did he ever write back?
All the Catholic girls I knew couldn’t wait to meet “the bishop”
Dear God,
Please. Save me from your followers.
The Pope should sit on his pointy hat and rotate until his saintly arse meets the floor.
article from April 6th 2009
Pope Benedict XVI announced Sunday that the termination of unwanted pregnancies was now “completely and perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God.”
umm… was it that God needed convincing? or that john paulie just conveniently misheard god say it was unacceptable??? or was it just that now another douche has risen to power and just wants the world to adhere to whatever he wishes now?
occam’s razor anyone???
Popes say the darndest things.
This is why I hate the fucking Catholic church – did the clouds part and a big hand come out of the sky to tell this dickless bonehead that termination of unwanted pregnancies was now “completely and perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God?” They pulled the same shit with Purgutory and Limbo – I grew up shit scared of that crap but sometime over the last 2 decades, the Church announced it did not exist. Did God part the clouds that time too or did he appear in a Courtney Love’s twat at Pamela Anderson’s Comedy Roast?
purgatories gone?!?!?! really???? I missed that.
I had some great friends there… and I guess all that stuff I had in storage was blinked out too…
and that is the problem therein, religion. you can’t be gay and be a preist,but you sure can be a diddler and become one.or is it that after you become a preist,then comes the diddler part.either way,religion is the biggest fucking plague that mankind ever invented. just take a look at the pieces of shit living around us,they thrive and breed more shit. but good decent people,they die from deseases,murder,idiots running them down,and whatever eles.but the garbage lives on. look at the 9 lives dope dealer for example. is there any real fucking justice in this world, no there isn’t.
The large number of religious believers on this planet is probably why other beings in this universe with higher intelligence only pop by this zoo to see the latest show !
Planet earth, the sideshow on this part of the galaxy’s boardwalk !
If religion evaporated into a pungent odor of rotten eggs, garlic and burnt rubber, we’d have peace.
I doubt it.
oh oh well all you sinners; i hear the fires of hell aren’t that hot and it’s a dry heat 🙂
calm down sucks…bashing religion is one of my guilt-free pleasures, i just don’t give a shit if people are offended anymore. i was tolerant once upon a time…now with a finite time left “come with me my people and worship the earth. because shit happens”
Miles- apparently he did write back a few times. Whether it was actually him or a form letter with his stamp I don’t know. But she wrote to him regularly!
ah paingirl, sweetcheeks, there is enough bashing room for all. this bunch of crazies just keep uping the ante every time they hide one of their own pervs. if a person wants to believe fine, go ahead, just don’t come knocking on my door, telling me that some invisable speghetti monster being, is going to make my life better, if i bow down to him/her/it/what the fuck ever. just get away from my door, or mr. foot will be talking to you, thru your sorry fucking asses.
so i can send you a copy of the watchtower then is that what your saying LS:)
martym , to start with if it was hell…it would be a frozen waste land ! ! !
I have been protected by my birth from ever going to hell.
You see, I’m from Cape Breton.
The last time a couple of Capers went to hell, productivity fell to nothing & there was talk of a strike ~:)
So now…none of us are allowed back ~;)
holy shit they got unions in hades too is it the united brotherhood of fire stoking sinners and fornicators international(ubofsfi)
No man, its the Multi National Alliance of Pitchfork Weilders, Hellfire Stokers & Demons… where all the booze bottles have holes in their bottoms & none of the women do ~;)
union dues would be a pound of flesh than i suppose:)
When I wake up in the morning the devil says “God damnit, she’s up!”
I’ve got absolutely NO FEAR of the Devil…I was married to his sister for just over 20 years .
The Vatican opposes a lot of films, for whatever reason. The only films they support are passion pieces made by anti-Semitic directors (here’s looking at you Mel). I can’t recall if they actually supported Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ”, but I’m sure there are those that feel that even it was blasphemous.
I try to be tolerant of most religions (Note: tolerance in no way implies either respect or interest). I just have 3 simple rules or commandments, if you will. Learn these and ye shall inherit the earth as surely as the meek.
1. Never fuck the kids. Ever.
2. Cartoons and Teddy Bears are for kids. They are not an excuse to blow up an airliner or burn down an embassy.
3.Unless I express an interest, don’t bore me with it.
Here endeth the lesson. Now lets go for wings and brewskis.
make sure your return addy is on it, so i can send it back to you, on fire.i don’t need anyone telling me what to believe in, look at what happened to politics.
Just an FYI, the Catholic Church does NOT condone abortions. That “announcement” by the Pope was an Onion news article. Duh.
And purgatory still exists.
more…20 years. wow i guess your one of the devil’s rejects ^^
and I suppose Time and CNN didn’t do their due diligence either….

mmm hmmmm…..
pull the other one.
as punishment for being a complete nimrod you must cut down the tallest tree in the forest with……. A HERRING!!!
While we’re beating on religions, I don’t see a fucking penny in aid from ANY muslim countries. Catholics are certainly no better than anyone else, but they generally give when there’s a need, unlike these greedy fucking muslim cunts that claim they’re all peaceful. Saudi has billions in oil revenues, I’m sure they can spare a paltry couple mil for the relief effort. Funny that the media doesn’t point this shit out, Y is that?
Hell, the Saudis could buy the poor Palestinians a homeland of their own, someplace nice like a South Pacific island. Really, anything would be better than a desert where just about everybody hates you, not just those pesky Yehudis with their darned refusal to compromise on issues like, existence. Instead they build Europe’s largest mosque in London and stock it with Wahabbi imams. Glad I’m not going to the summer Olympics.
