vatican is nuts

is the pope a master of misdirection or just a grouchy old prick?

the vatican has come out against halloween!

POPE KILLS HALLOWEEN!!!

this is reason #279 that i'm happy not to be a catholic. i can't recall most of the first 278 reasons but i'm sure they were well thought out and very insightful.

if i was a less mature person i might drag up all the nasty things priests have done to children but as an enlightened child of the universe i won't mention the darker side of priests.

if my kids were still young and i was still drinking i just might dress them up as a pope and a cardinal.

have you got your half price candy yet?

If you ask me his pope hat is too tight. Honestly... I am tired of people saying stupid stuff like that about innocent children having a fun time. But then, the catholic church has a long history of cruelty to children. It's just another way to be mean to them.

No, no half price candy yet. I'll get that tomorrow when I go near Dollar Tree.

ananda - i was thinking of enlisting in the catholic church this week but nixing halloween is a deal breaker.

Halloween is a frigging joke so far removed from it’s pagan roots of the fall harvest that it’s just plain fucking pathetic, I don't much like it myself, it's just one of the ways we screw with and screw up kids.

As for the pope, I'm looking for a graphic of the grim reaper on a chopper butt fucking the pope, in case you come across one.

I got some half price Reese's Peanut Butter Cups today returning from a hike to the hot springs.

Innocent children having a fun time, rolls eyes. And sharing with children that can't do that? That maybe didn't even eat that day?

Our kids are not innocent, not by a long shot, we just teach them to be needy and greedy.

if it wasn't for the catholic churh there wouldn't be a halloween..its what they came up with to combat the pagan holiday ..pricks..

BBC-- I prefer to think of it as having a good time and teaching my children to share. It depends on the lesson you are teaching them. Children are greedy because it's part of our survival code written into our DNA.

I should have dressed up as a horny pope for Halloween.

billy pilgrim said...

bbc - i love reeses peanut butter cups!

some kids are sweet and innocent and others can be satan reincarnate.

yellowdog - i thought halloween was dreamt up by the candy companies and dentists.

live and learn.

ananda - if we have built in survival code why are we killing the planet?

sage - good choice.

I think that the picture of the Pope with horns was no fluke. It happened in real life not photoshop.
It must be Gods will.

We do have a built in survival code, but that proceeds being stupid.

billy pilgrim said...

mr wit - i wonder if the vatican has developed a nuclear bomb yet?

bbc - my survival code must be defective, i love candy and hate veggies.

Mr. Shife said...

The pope might be on the dope. What a nutbar. I was forbidden from buying the half-price candy because Mrs. Shife is making us do a 60-day butt kicking workout so all I get to eat is chicken breasts and egg whites. I am sure it will be a blast. Enjoy the candy without me.

Thanks for taking the high road on the priests.
I think the best Halloween costume I ever saw was the cigarette smoking, pregnant nun...or did I just happen to see her on Halloween?

We Lutherans have had a beef with the Pope ever since Martin said 'Hey!..I can't understand all this Latin shit!'..

There are more devils and demons in the Bible than there are in any scary movie or television special. Plus, there's all that added extra behavior--torture, rape, incest, infanticide--that's done by plain old human beings.

But somehow sparkling vampires are worse. Sheesh.
