Religion 'marginalized' says Pedo Pope

Post by cowiz » Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:30 pm

The Pope uses the keynote speech of his UK visit to warn that Christianity is now being marginalized around the world.

Why's he whinging, this is good news?

It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Smaller market cuts into the bottom line. And only priests can cut into the bottom line.

Unfortunately, his remarks will probably encourage the Tories to demarginalise Christianity and faith. :ddpan:

He's whining because christianty is losing it's power in most Western cultures. With less power, they can't influence politics and social structure as much as they would like - and less power means less money in their coffers also.

What an attention whore.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Well, this is the touchy feely stuff he peddles. Humanists could achieve the same without touching the little boys.
