And what if he lives to 100? With the medical care he will receive it is a possibility.
Thats a pretty goddamn big number of people. Its the largest religious organisation in the world.
Says you. Which Guardian article did you lift that out of? Or which post by Aladdin? YOu seriously need to do some thinking of your own, lad.
Where the fuck does the Catholic church do that?
Frankly I admire Catholicisms stability and steadiness in these troubled times. They have not bowed to half-baked secularism or the atheism that is creeping over Europe.
Heh, thats funny, Europe is the only continent where religion is shrinking.
what god's that?
the catholic one, the jewish one, the muslim one?
i do have a god...i have my own belief system thank you and i don't want you being pretentious and forcing your belief system down my throat so don't talk about "the will of god" please...
1. It may be the biggest but it's not the majority of people is it.
2. I can think for myself. I've studied things and I can make my own decisions. It's what I beleive.
3. Catholism and Christianity in general is always trying to shove their beliefs down peoples throats. I've not seen other religions do this on such a large scale. I'm sick of being preached at and told I'm going to Hell by Catholics and Christians trying to convert me handing out leaflets outside where I go for lectures.
Yea, you know best, better than God in fact. One day .....
Christains are committed to spreading the Faith. I see nothing wrong in that, theres always the word "no" Renzo, its not a difficult or long word.
because your a bleeding tory maniac i know you have said you are not a member of the tory party or anyother party for that matter
but if you hate labour that much, and your not going to vote for the lib dems, id say your going to vote for the torys
seriously...then why when you say no they say "you're gonna burn in hell, we're trying to save you"...like come on...you're only after saying hopefully i'll find faith and the will of God will find us all... :crazyeyes
i am confused by your statement, are you suggesting RK is a well educated individual?.........or that well educated people must somehow lean towards atheism?.....
lol, then im afraid you're wrong on both counts.........
What a charming fellow. :yeees:
That will be a first for a Pope then.
*applauds*

The Catholic Church is the one true Christian Church, founded on earth by Jesus, the Son of God, when he gave St Peter, (the first Pope), the mission to build His Church on earth. The core beliefs are consistent and constant, varying not at the whim of fashion or popular culture. The Church is The Rock.
Why? Haven't you searched for the "meaning of life" and an answer to the eternal question, "whats it all about?"
Many of the finest brains in the world are believers in God.
We are all sinners living in a sinful world. Fact. God sent his Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross to redeem our souls, and show us the true path. It is up to us to follow his Word and find Salvation.
As I've said above, we are all sinners, including the Pope. We look for forgiveness for our sins through a merciful God and help in leading a good Christian life.
Here is another "sinner". Is he a "sinner" because of what he did? Because of his "church" ?
I think we need to know, FACTUALLY,what is a sin ? Over to the man with the answer(hopefully),Rich Kid.

Oh and by the way... there is no such a thing as a "sin". Fact.
For one, what the Catholic Church thinks is of no moment to me whatsoever - unless they try and preach it to me, in which case I'll tell them precisely what I think of their corrupt organisation. For two, a figure like Ratzinger is just going to alienate people - in Europe anyway - so, far from reversing the decline of Catholicism, he's probably going to hasten it.
I remember seeing on Newsnight a few weeks ago that in France - nominally a Catholic country - they've such a shortage of recruits to the priesthood tha the average ago of Catholic priests is nearly 80, that each of them is managing an average of five or six parishes, and they're actually having to import priests from former French colonies. In other words, Catholicism in France is on the verge of collapse. Can't see Ratzinger doing much to reverse that.
At 78, he's not going to have all that long in office anyway - not nearly as long as John Paul II.
There is a God. There is a Satan. There is Sin. The eternal battle goes on but in this imperfect, sinful world, we are all sinners whose only hope of salvation is through the Lord Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, who gave His life that we may live in eternal happiness with Him.
Ask for forgiveness for your sins, truly repent and you will be forgiven, even you lamp boy.
Proof please.
Proof please or an apology. Keep your irrational "faith" to youself god-botherer.
By who and how will I know?
Proof please.
Remember, rich people like you have a express one way ticket to hell, according to your own religion.
And there is no way around that, no matter how hard you try.
There isn't a God. There isn't a Satan. There is no such thing as "sin".
End of.
what utter shite (IMO)
