I think they should abide by the teachings of the pope's religion and do everything medically possible to keep him alive no matter what the cost or pain and suffering is. Let him truly experience his teachings about the right to die.
Yeah I pretty much have complete disdain for religion and especially cult leaders that teach hated. I actually feel sorry for the old main. I can't help but feel he wasted his life in ignorance and now is going to have a miserable death. Now he can't even die in peace as he is this icon of his religion. Is he dead yet? |

I have no interest or clue about who this pope dude is, but one thing I like about a rumor about him is when some guy put a bullet in him, the pope lay in the hospital for 3 months and then when he got better, he went to the prison where the assasin was held and sat with him and talked with him like the guy was his brother.
I may disagree about whatever the guy believes and says but that doesn't make me dislike the guy. The old man is still breathing, so is a few million other people ![]() |

I've been shoot and almost died so I know a little about this. Talking to the person that shoots you and forgiving them lets you put closer to it and move forward in life.
I'm not saying that he is a bad person, just a misguided one. The problem is the teachings of hate that he stands for that I have a problem with. Like I said, I feel sorry for him. I also feel sorry for the person that shot me as they are rotting in a jail cell. The pope is in the cell of his faith. |

The pope is like an old type writer from another century. Nothing wrong with it and it still holds some charm but we've outgrown its uses (yep we like laptops better).
How do you judge faith looking from the outside? It's like errrr love. It looks stupid and nuts from the outside and it obviously makes people do some dumb things. But for the person who is feeling it, its the ride of a lifetime. Religion can save your life or it can destroy a life, just like a gun depends on which way you hold it and when you fire the thing ![]() |

RE " 'gay marriage is evil'.....oh bull its normal in holland" But Holland is evil too, you got all that sex stuff and legal marijuana. Surely with all this pornography, fornication, and imbibing in the evil weed, the Devil must live in Holland.

(Breaking my own rule about not discussing religion on forums).
Tolerance is important to me...all people need to learn tolerance...whether they're a catholic, pagan, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, atheist, or agnostic, etc. When one group of people is intolerant how do you respond? You respond with intolerance you not only feed into hate but you become a hypocrite of your own beliefs. A few times Jesus has been mentioned in threads here and elsewhere. Let’s not get into the debate on whether he was a savior, supernatural, or the embodiment of god. Let’s actually look at his teachings and what he stood for…Tolerance of everyone…the man could be tolerant of prostitutes, sinners, and holy men. Jesus wanted a distribution of money…he didn’t want super wealthy people…he wanted people to help people and have a distribution of wealth. He was non-violent, he wouldn’t want war, and he told people to turn the other cheek. Jesus if he were alive today wouldn’t support the catholic church, wouldn’t support the way most governments were run, he would probably be some poor philosopher as he was back in the day, preaching his message of love, tolerance, non-violence, and helping your fellow man. Self-Education is a wonderful thing, you see things for what they are and not what someone spoon feeds you. People can go off on Jesus all they want, but they do it based on what his followers did to pervert his message, not what the man himself wanted or preached. Jesus was the original radical and he makes most liberals today look conservative. I’m not a religious person...in fact not sure what I believe in. I don’t follow any religion but I do like his philosophical outlook…so I try to be tolerant of all people, even when they’re not tolerant of me or my beliefs. Funny, I’m starting to sound like a hippie more and more each year, so peace, love, and tolerance…the world is a better place when you try to tolerate your fellow man even if you disagree with them. The Pope is an old man about to die…I respect him even if I don’t agree with everything he’s done or said. A friend of mine is dying of aids…unprotected sex with multiple partners…I don’t agree with everything he did in his life, but I respect him and help him. Respect is a two way street…don’t expect respect if you can’t give it…don’t expect tolerance if you can’t be tolerant. Peace ![]() |

RE "tolerance.....is a two way street" Yes, but too many people say this, believe it, and think they live it, but don't. For example, if you are tolerant to my view that God created the world etc. you also have to be tolerant to Cleo's view that God does not exist, and that all religion is inherently evil. Basically, although you can disagree with some of the posts on this thread (and the views are so diverse, I guess it is impossible to not disagree with some), you may even be personally offended by some, but you have to accept them as other people's views. If you feel that any one of these posts should not have been made, then you are NOT being tolerant.

I didn't criticize anyone's posts. I didn't criticize Cleo...I didn't criticize the people that got offended. I honestly believe people should be tolerant and I try to be tolerant to all views.
You're right no one is 100% tolerant...but it isn't such a bad ideal to strive for it. The world would be a better place if people tried to tolerate more. As I said, I'm not religious. I don't follow any religion...I'm perfectly comfortable with letting you ecchi believe that god created everything and I'm also perfectly comfortable with letting Cleo believe there is no god. I have no hangups either way as I know you both have good reasons to believe what you believe in. Tolerance is a two way street...People of differing views should be able to set it aside and if they can't love each other at least they can tolerate each other, not try to cause harm to the other, and maybe even try to respect each other. That was my point. |

Mr Blue - Sorry my post was not aimed at you, I was just using your original post to make a point that I felt a few other people should be made aware of.
