Peregrine Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Well, he's finally dead. What's going to happen now? Will we see a nice peaceful transfer of power, or will his death start a religious war that will last a century? If WWIII doesn't start, what direction will his replacement go for church policy?

Dark0ne Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 When the last pope died 20 odd years ago it didn't start a war. Don't see why this one should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 When the last pope died 20 odd years ago it didn't start a war. Don't see why this one should. As always Dark0ne, you have no sense of humor. I do not appreciate having my thread title removed just because you don't get the joke. Since I'm sure it's too complicated for you, "some random god-guy" is intended to be an ironic name for the leader of the world's largest religion, the exact opposite of "some random god-guy". And if you can't figure out the humor in the plant food part, I give up on you. As for the debate, maybe you could answer the question instead of focusing on a joking reference to WWIII? The next pope is going to inherit an over-conservative church that has been damaged by the disgusting behavior of its priests, and its lack of cooperation in dealing with them. Can the next leader repair the damage, or will the church grow less and less relevant, until the death of the next pope doesn't even make it into the news?

I don't think it's appropiate to make a joke of someone's death, minutes after it's happened, especially when he was a highly loved religious leader (from his followers). I don't give a s#*! what you think about him, others may be upset about his passing and I don't think it's right for you to make a joke out of his death. If you don't agree, I couldn't care any less.

Peregrine Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 As always Peregrine, you seem to think you are above my authority on these forums. Thankfully you are not. And as always, you can see nothing but "peregrine the evil anti-christian" and fail completely to have any sense of humor. I don't think it's appropiate to make a joke of someone's death, minutes after it's happened, especially when he was a highly loved religious leader (from his followers). I don't give a poo what you think about him, others may be upset about his passing and I don't think it's right for you to make a joke out of his death. If you don't agree, I couldn't care any less. Poor them. None of those hypocrites would show any concern for the countless other people who died today. Why should the fact that the pope had lots of love be more important than those other people who were loved by smaller numbers? And never mind that almost none of them actually loved him, as it's impossible to love someone you've never even met. And I'm sure most of them would laugh at a joke about the death of someone they didn't like. It's pure hypocrisy to demand respect for your respected leader, while laughing at the misortune of people you don't like. If I wanted to be tasteless and offensive about his death, I would've posted a celebration thread, not just something that fits perfectly with my sense of humor and lack of seriousness. You'll notice a lack of "thank god he's dead" celebrating, and it's not because I'm afraid of your anti-peregrine policy. You didn't see it because it was on another forum, but when one of the ultra-conservative frauds of a "religious leader" got really sick, I did make some celebration posts, just like I will when they finally die (hopefully in as painful a way as possible). The pope's death meant nothing to me either way, it was just the latest news. Whether you admit it or not, you just have no sense of humor. The joke had nothing to do with the fact that he was a religious leader and everything to do with being an ironic comment on the importance of the event. I would've been just as lacking in seriousness if Bush (or any other major politician) died. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I did answer the question you angel. Congratulations, you answered one joking comment and ignored the entire point of the post. Unless you're stupid enough to think that the WWIII part was a serious question? The point here was to debate what effects the death of the church's leader will have on church policy, and the world in general. But I guess it's easier to snipe at me with childish comments than to actually debate the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGilbert Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 shut the hell up, peregrine, i can see that you are joking around but piss off, dont make fun of the pope, I happen to be catholic and making fun of a death of a person is wrong and sadistic. Especially the pope for that matter! We pray for or (at least i pray) for everybody in need including the pope! if you started poking fun at somebody elses death i would also say the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 Especially the pope for that matter! Again, nice hypocrisy. So it would be better if I made fun of someone who died and left only a loving family behind? Why should the pope be treated any differently than any of the other countless people who died today and you didn't care about. shut the hell up, peregrine, i can see that you are joking around but piss off, dont make fun of the pope, I happen to be catholic and making fun of a death of a person is wrong and sadistic. No, wrong would be posting "thank god that disgusting old man finally died, I hope he's burning in hell now". If I really felt like making fun of him, it would've been a lot worse than "some random god-guy is plant food" for a thread title. And you'll notice that the main point of the joke doesn't even require that he be dead, since it's just a mocking reference to his position as leader of the world's largest religion. We pray for or (at least i pray) for everybody in need including the pope! Then you're a hopeless idealist. Would you have prayed for Hitler to get better, if he was sick and dying? In fact, if you believe that prayer actually works, your statement is evil, as you are keeping evil people alive to continue their harm. if you started poking fun at somebody elses death i would also say the same thing No, you'd laugh and you know it, if it was someone you didn't care about.

CrazyGilbert Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 can you please stop making statements on what you dont know about.i wouldnt be laughing, you dont know me so keep your mouth shut when saying that you do, not everybody is as sadistic as you aparently. and another thing, do you think that quoting everything that you think is wrong makes you sound more important? I pray for evil people to see the good side of life and stop what they are doing! and in your last post somewhere say that praying doesnt help? because if you did...__________________! your not proving your point by sounding the least bit smart because almost everything you ever say is your opinion, if again we talk and your opinion is different from mine I dont want to hear it.

Wookiee Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 personaly i vote for another scisem(sp?) seriosly tho he seemed like a nice enough guy but plenty of nice enough guys every day and its sad for all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 can you please stop making statements on what you dont know about.i wouldnt be laughing, you dont know me so keep your mouth shut when saying that you do, not everybody is as sadistic as you aparently. It's not sadistic, it's called having a sense of humor. But I guess you can't see the difference between "thank god he's dead, I just wish he'd suffered longer first" and "some random god guy died". and another thing, do you think that quoting everything that you think is wrong makes you sound more important? No, because I quote everything. It makes it obvious what I'm replying to.I pray for evil people to see the good side of life and stop what they are doing! That's not what you said, you implied that prayer was for them to survive, regardless of their actions. and in your last post somewhere say that praying doesnt help? because if you did...__________________! Yet again, you miss the point. I said nothing about whether it works or not. Just that if it does (which you believe), praying for the survival of evil people is an evil act, as if that prayer is granted, they will continue their evil actions. If it doesn't work, you're just guilty of wasting your time, not evil. The effectiveness of prayer is a subject for another debate, one which Dark0ne would lock the moment I dared offend you by saying you're wrong. your not proving your point by sounding the least bit smart because almost everything you ever say is your opinion, if again we talk and your opinion is different from mine I dont want to hear it. Nobody forced you to read this thread. If you want to be sheltered from my opinion, don't read my threads. =============================== =============================== And I notice you still did nothing to reply to the topic of the debate, which is what will happen in the aftermath of his death.
