Pope Benedict's animosity toward other faiths reveals a deep arrogance rooted in a blinkered Catholicism utterly out of place in the 21st century.

    That was so funny! I feel the same way, in a manner or speaking. Silly silly silly...

    It's important to note, however, that, as rambunctious and hilarious as it is to poke fun at the 'logic' of modern Christians, they truly run the show around here in America. After having lived in Texas for a (very. very. long.) year, I've come to the alarming realization that not only do Christians run the show but also 'Jesus is coming' and we are living in the 'last days' and 'the apocolypse' is indeed at hand. This frightening line of thnking, propegated by religious conservative faithful and their media bitches, can even be seen in the POTUS M.O. I can't help but think the Pope's rekindling of Crusades age fires seems a bit self-serving to that fearful end. I don't know if I'm seeing things clearly (how can I know?), but I honestly believe that the conservative religious fanatics actually WANT to return to the Dark Ages or the Inquisition or post-apocolypse 'Jesus-came-but-didn't-stay-because-there-aren't-enough-faithful-in-the-world' conversion crusade. I think the single biggest threat to world peace is 'god's army'...
