The Pope is in the US!

[ABSTRUSE]

Hmmph, I remember when I was Pope.

I can't believe he wore that crucifix

He's so monotone. He should've wore that little red number to break up all that white. Silly Pontiff, what was he thinking?

​

Exactly, that monochromatic things is soooooooo passe

 

[cloudy]

you were a much better pope.

Better fashion sense, too.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Thank you. You're right.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I hope he at least visits a "Hooters".

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

Even the pope should enjoy some hot wings served by girls with big honkers.

One thing I've realized over the years. I don't stand a chance in politics... too many people want too many pieces of the pie, so to speak. I'm don't have noble blood in my veins so I won't inherit anything. And I just don't have the personality (or interest) to be a good dictator. I'm much more interested in satiating my own selfish desires than in crushing rebellions and such.

BUT... religious power is great. You get to do everything a political ruler can do, and more. No secular leader is going to disagree with you, threaten you, challenge your power base. AND your power base transcends national boundaries... How many Catholics are there world wide, all looking up to the pope? I mean come on...

Its brilliant, all I need to do is start my own cult of personality and I'm set. I can get donations and such, my own temple to live in, nubile dancing girls to amuse me.

In other words? You know nothing and are nothing.

Oh know, I know things and can do things. All I'm saying is that it would be nice to have a job where I get something for doing nothing (like most politicians and many religious leaders). I'm not a noble of any sort, nor do I have an army to seize power. Next best thing is to create a new religion. Besides, guys like Anton LaVey, L. Ron Hubbard, Aleister Crowley and the like did quite well with that sort of thing.

just what the world needs, more religion.

 

[rgraham666]

Religion ain't the problem. Human beings are.

Give most of 'em some power, secular or religious, and they get stupid and vicious.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

My blessings are cool.

They come with a stick of gum.

I was going to start a church where people would give me money to preach and heal so I could live oceanside and ride in a big car, but I hate wearing a suit.

Actually, ole Aleister didn't do so well. He was a drug addict, died from such in abject poverty, and while he was alive got into all sorts to fights with all his friends, and ended up with pictures of himself wearing a really silly outfit and sounding, on recordings, like someone's Scots' grandmother talking about making lamb stew....

Look at this!

He's wearing a paper hat! Do you really want to start a religion where you'll be remembered for wearing funny hats....er....then again.....

Hmmm. I see a similarity! Separated at birth?

Bush: Would you like to dance?
