Escalating gunfire: Pope Francis says atheists are good people if they do good things, atheists are - Polidicks

-this article was from fucking May, I'm a retard, I'm sorry, rate me late and have a mod close this thread- [URL="http://news.msn.com/world/atheists-are-good-if-they-do-good-pope-francis-says"]The article that used to be here[/URL]

I wasn't sure about this guy at first but he is really winning me over.

Go Pope F! I had a good feeling about him.

Pope Francis is a Bro.

[QUOTE=squids_eye;43296889]I wasn't sure about this guy at first but he is really winning me over.[/QUOTE] Winning you over to what, he doesn't do anything.

[QUOTE=toaster468;43296929]Winning you over to what, he doesn't do anything.[/QUOTE] He represents the Catholic Church. And if he's trying to take it in a better direction then whoop dee doo.

Why do I have the feeling that this will end bad for the pope. You tend to be assassinated when you do good stuff (like MLK, Malcolm X, JFK, some other politicians, mother theresa doesn´t count because if you read up on her she is an enormous cunt)

I keep thinking there's going to be a bunch of bishops who'll try and get him fired/excommunicated/assassinated because of his progressive views. I really hope not, but I still think it's a likely possibility. I can't imagine what they'll all say if he comes out in support of gay marriage, which at this rate seems entirely likely.

Someone (an Italian politician? someone important in Italy) warned that the Pope was at risk of being assassinated by the [I]actual[/I] Mafia. But then again, I think any pope who didn't consult with them and get their approval on anything that might possibly affect them (almost anything) would have to consider at least a small constant risk of assassination by the criminal underworld. Unrelated to DaCommie1's comment, I have a theory that Pope Francis is the second coming of Jesus, with amnesia about His true nature. And if not, he's certainly doing a hell of a lot better a job of following Jesus's teachings than some nazis we could mention.

I've always believed [B]Christ[/B]ianity should revolve around the parts of the Bible about [B]Christ,[/B] not the other nonsense ramblings from other people, and Christ himself was a very cool and accepting dude. This pope is really focusing on putting the Christ in Christianity.

The article is from May. I remember hearing about this earlier in the year.

I go to a Catholic high school. In my sophomore year we had a very dumb teacher who did not know how to teach theology. The gist of one of her lectures was anyone can do good deeds, but if they don't do it through religion (Christianity) then it's not really a good deed. That just made me angry. That was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Good thing the school fired her last year, 'cause she did not know what she was talking about in any of her classes. Pope Francis seems to be a cool guy.
