http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/haveyoursay/2010/09/what_has_the_popes_visit_achie.htmlFirst, I want to state how many religious wibulnibers have suddenly appeared on HYS and it's sickening.
The idea that God is needed for us to keep our moral compass is preposterous, I'm not a believer, but it doesn't mean I think it's a good idea to murder somebody.
Of course the Pope's message was hypocritical and vitriolic, hopefully our Gov. won't take him seriously, though considering the visit was state funded I worry.
Discuss.
Edit: this comment made me laugh:
"I don`t really see the problem with his visit. Every year the British tax payer hands over MILLIONS to keep the Queen who is after all the head of the Protestant Church. The royal family has been robbing us blind for generations, oppressing the British people and generally making us a laughing stock to the world. Burn the monarchy then you can do what you like with the People - but let`s start at home."
Robbing us blind - maybe, oppressing us? What was the point of the civil war then? Or have I missed something?
