How/Why is the Pope anybody special in the world in 2015?

I thought you said "he was being cute" was a joke - obviously he was stomping all over freedom of speech by saying "some things you're not allowed to say or else I'll hurt you" which isn't the funniest thing. and I did read it, that's how I know it was bad

Nah....that person was saying Christians/religious people are NORMAL human beings too and we can feel normal human emotions like anger, when being tested. Of course we try to be calm and turn the other cheek but even Jesus lost his temper when people made the Holy Temple into a market. He literally destroyed the temple.

We are not perfect. Hate the Pope if you want. Despise him, but right now it just seems like you are reaching to find anything to warrant your hate.

so jesus wasn't perfect - why should people worship him as an example? I thought his divine perfection as a human being was what made him special, besides being a god and all - literally, when I was in sunday school I hear them yap on a *billion* times about how jesus was this "perfect, absolutely sinless man" and the vicar would continue to brag about how much kissing his ass deserved



I don't "hate" the pope, I just think he's simply an audacious little fraud who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. I'm sure he's okay as a person but if the context is "he's the pope" then I can't really praise him at all.

Showing emotion doesn't mean you're not perfect lmao. Jesus is the human form of my (I would say our but its obvious you're an atheist lol) perfect God and therefore had human emotions.... Anyway......this isn't an overall religious debate but about the Pope. Ok then, you don't hate him but dislike his title. You're mind-set obviously hasn't changed so just carry on then lol
