    Funny how a man who claims to be the representative of God on Earth seems to be totally let down by the supernatural and entirely dependent on secular medicine for survival, like the rest of us. It’s almost as if he was nothing special at all…

      Not really. If you believe the teachings of Christianity, we were intentionally created as fallible and imperfect creatures, especially with the whole “leaving the garden of Eden” thing.

        According to one story of French philosopher Voltaire’s last words, his response to a priest at his deathbed urging him to renounce Satan was “Now is not the time for making new enemies.”

    This is very bad, lung diseases is just about the ONLY thing the Pope could die of. Because it makes it impossible for him to pray!!!
    Yes yes I know atheists say God usually responds with NO! anyway, but this is the Pope goddammit!! God wouldn’t say NO to the Pope…

    Would he?
