[Closed] Pope says 'It's OK to be gay' says youth of today...

so what was your response?

Standard operating response to any question from offspring;
'I'll ask your Mum'...

..Mum said 'Don't use a photo if you're internet dating'

I do so enjoy being a respected head of our family unit.

my 10yr old daughter said ''i cant see the point of kissing boys, so why would i kiss a girl...''

My ex Mrs phoned me one day ages ago & said 'I need to talk to you about Christopher' & I said 'why what's up' & she said 'well it's difficult over the phone' & I said 'he's gay isn't he?' & she said 'yep' & I said 'i suppose we knew didn't we' & she said 'yep'. The Pope didn't get involved though.

The topless girls bouncing around at the Pope's youth meet were nearly enough to convert me, though the cross tattoo could have been better placed.

But then just perhaps he has made a start on the church offering equality for all,no matter what your sexuality.

So, in the eyes of the pope - can gays use contraception now? And if it's okay for gays to prevent STD's why not everyone...?

Of course he's going to be more relaxed about gays, after all, his Fuhrer was reportedly homosexual.

Curious and unintelligent response. Especially as neither the pope is German nor Hitler gay.

You don't need to be German to be a nazi and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that Hitler was gay. Hope this helps.

So, wait, what? Hitler, is he the gay one or the German one and where does that leave the Pope? I'm both curious and unintelligent.

Ok then. You cleared that right up. Are you sure the evidence isn't speculative rumour? Cus I don't believe he ever wrote that down or was photographed in a compromising position. And just so you're clear, he is actually dead. Hitler I mean. As far as I can tell, the pope is alive.

Didn't he say its ok to be gay but not ok if you act on it? It's an improvement at least I suppose.

Didn't he say its ok to be gay but not ok if you act on it? It's an improvement at least I suppose.

Yup, OK to be gay, but not do any gaying... which is stupid and nonsense tbh... but hey ho, baby steps I suppose.

what were his thoughts on 650b vs. 26" vs 29"?

Its ok to like 650b, but not to buy them. 29ing is a mortal sin.

But what does King George VI have to say about the matter?

Samurai's gay Hitler thing is totally correct. It's well documented, also, that he wore pajamas and rode rainbows:

... And this Pope was a nazi?

Eva Braun was a man?

Samuri, is it possible you might have missed the election of a new pope?

Wait, the Pope said it was OK to step on babies?

At last!

Erm... How could they use contraception??

Nope. They're all nazi's.
The evidence that hitler was gay is overwhelming. You'd have to be blind to miss it. Moustache, very smart leather clothing, publically homophobic. If that doesn't meet a whole load of stereotypes then I don't know what does.

Edit: I don't know about King George though. He's only a few days old and isn't king yet.

Goodness knows how humanity made it through the seventies with all those moustaches around. One assumes there was enough procreation in the sixties with all that lovin' going around to allow us to skip a decade.

Jeebus wept! Where's the evidence that the new pope is a Nazi?

Samuri has the evidence somewhere. Apparently, they all are. 😉

Visions of Hitler and Goering alone, it's '39 again, midnight and Poland has just fallen.

Hitler starts singing The Spice Girls' über hit 'Wannabe'.

Eef you vant to bee my lover, zu gotta get vid my friend...

Seconds later, Goering's whimpering in a corner and Adolf's all spent.

Yeah baby, croaks Hitler, Sieg-a-sieg...ahhhh

The popes were there too, I heard. All of them.
FACT

Jeebus wept! Where's the evidence that the new pope is a Nazi?

Have you ever seen him and Hitler in a room at the same time?

but hey ho, baby steps

The entire history of religion, dragging itself unwillingly along behind secular ethical progress, in one handy phrase.

Chapeau. 😆

Adolf Hitler and Pope Francis in the same room.

Annnnndddddd, he's from Brazil ( new pope, not Hitler), and where do all the old Nazis run off to?

That's right, Argentina!!!! Exactly, case closed, gay nazis. proof

I think he meant the last pope - the ex Hitler Youth member. Not that I think that says much, I thought the overwhelming majority of young Germans of his generation were members....?

Your argument proves that even if the pope isn't a gay nazi, he almost certainly has a gay nazi neighbour.

camo16, good enough evidence for me

Has anyone consulted the gay Muslim swans?

I'm with you, nickc. It's damning, alright.

So the Hitler Youth made you gay?

I suppose this explains Lemmy's astute observation that the Nazi's had by far the most stylish uniforms.

I'm guessing that Samuri missed the election of a new Pope and is now trying to save face.

Possibly my new favourite animated gif there, B.A. 😉

Precisely, and then he's round borrowing your hedge clippers. I'm surprised I have to point all this out.

...or the alternative version: maintaining a sense of moral stability/absolutism in the face of constant secular relativism and revisionism? Pick which you prefer!

hes not just cool with the gayers [who dont do gaying] he is helping out the womenz too

On the role of women in the Church, he said: "We cannot limit the role of women in the Church to altar girls or the president of a charity, there must be more.

"But with regards to the ordination of women, the Church has spoken and says no... That door is closed."

Bless him and his egalitarian flirting

As a confirmed gaylord I refuse to take the opinions an old guy who wears a dress and believes in a sky wizard seriously.

a confirmed gaylord

I like this idea... was there a ceremony of confirmation and did you get an official document from an accedited gaylord body?

sky wizard

Seriously impressive dismissal of a proven 2,000-year-old religion right there. Militant atheism condensed into two words. Neat.

I'll go for the former please given that it is not woo woo

FIFY

proven 2,000-year-old religion right there

Proven?

Seriously impressive dismissal of a proven 2,000-year-old religion right there.

'Appeal to antiquity' logical fallacy? Just because something is old doesn't give it authority IMO.

I'm not in fighting mood today, so I'll keep this short.

Proven?

Proven to provide faith to millions of people... if not proven in the über rationalist 'if I can't see it, it ain't there' sense.

Just because something is old doesn't give it authority IMO.

We were talking about something that IS old and DOES have authority for a lot of people. One does not necessitate the other, but in this case I don't see the problem.

We were talking about something that IS old and DOES have authority for a lot of people.

The Nazis had authority for a lot of people too. 😉

Proven to exist, well there is no denying that the catholic church certainly does exist. Proven to be correct, hmmmmm that's not the same thing now is it. If you do consider it to be proven correct, please be careful on zebra crossings.

gonefishin, I refer you to

Proven to provide faith to millions of people.

Nothing more to add, really.

So that would come under the proven to exist, rather than proven to be correct. The Norse gods provided faith to a large number of people. Doesn't make the religon any more proven.

The religion is and was proven. It's tenets were not.

If you're going to get involved...

I really don't get what's complicated about:

Proven to provide faith to millions of people.

Who's saying its tenets are correct? I made no such claim. Is it really impossible to say anything that's not 100% dismissive of Christianity on here then? 😯

Sheesh.

If you're going to get involved...

Not me. I have enough of this EVERY DAY from my weird atheist FB buddy (weird and atheist, not weird because he's atheist, to be clear), who has spent the last 6 months desperately and righteously trying to convince me that there is no possibility of correct faith. I remain unconvinced, either way.

Proven to provide faith to millions of people.

is this the start of a slow burning religious thread ?

EDIT:

I remain unconvinced, either way.

that is the worst of both positions you either wish to have faith in the imaginary sky wizard whose existence you cannot prove but hope for or you accept there is no evdience for said sky wizard

I dont understand how folk can be uncertain as to which account is the best account of reality...now that is stupid [ lights touch paper and runs away 😉 ]

We should get back on the proven naziism of the new pope and the homosexuality of Hitler. At least those are things we can all agree on.

Faith is a belief in something that cannot be proven. Its ironic that you use this as proof of it providing faith.

Nope. You can prove faith exists without having to prove that this faith equates to belief in something true. Simples.

is this the start of a slow burning religious thread ?

I really hope not. Because all such threadage has proven time and time again to be completely pointless.

It's ironic to me that discussing a faith that advocates love and kindness becomes a platform for antagonistic intellectual willy waving.

EDIT: I'm with samuri. Let's keep this on safe ground:

Ooh, I've just seen this ninja edit, you naughty additional comment poster, Junky, you.

You're right though. 'Sky wizard' comments aside, agnosticism isn't the cleverest or most productive position... but for me it's intuitive... every time I move closer to atheism I glimpse things that are so overwhelmingly beautiful or meaningful that my mind springs open again.

Never mind that............. Im still crying with laughter at the cat dancing with Hitler.

Can someone please send me a link to that.

That's not an either/or position though. I'm really jealous of folk who've got Faith in their chosen relegion, in many cases it seems to make them happier/more content with their lot. So it's something I'd quite like too.

However, I also accept that there isn't really any evidence for the 'ole Sky Wizard so kind of stuck in Limbo.

Basically an optimistic atheist, or agnostic if pushed.

But anyway, Hitler = Gay defo, pope = hitler = gay, Hell* yeah!

*On the understanding that there isn't any evidence for such a place to exist either, except for Coventry of course.

As a child I thought ET was gay and also thought he was the great sky wizard when referred to at great length during my forced sunday school sessions.

Now, ET, when dressed in a hoody looked a lot like the Darth Sidious who in turn looks like the pope after a night on the rum and coke AND more importantly is mates with Darth Vader. Vader was definitly gay and shared the same stylist as hitler with the black leather / PVC look.

Problem solved.

Hitler dancing...

Nothing wrong with staring in wonder at it all but it doe snot prove a diety- we are all star dust after all

I think there might just be parts of the Bibles you've failed to read/grasp/understand!

I'm pretty sure homophobia, child abuse, and the subjugation of women don't count as 'love and kindness'.

Nothing wrong with staring in wonder at it all but it doe snot prove a diety

[calm breaths]

Of course it doesn't prove a deity.

Agnosticim, dude, that's where I'm at.

I accept that the fundamental truths of existence are unknown to me and (so far as I can make out) are unknowable to humans with puny-ass brains.

WTF? Did I wake up in Weird World today?

Agree that the above are probably all contained in the Bible, especially the OT. NT not so much if I remember correctly (it's been a while).

I was thinking about the parables of the NT really.

God..kill your child
Man..ok
God..only kidding have some money.
I got to that part in the bible and I realised that maybe religion wasn't for me.

Vader was definitly gay

and father of two?

Or is this futher ammunition to gays adopting?

As for religion, always put Jedi on the form. There is a thought that sexuality is a spectrum so you are all a bunch of gayers, so more than others but remember god now loves you, no matter how far on the spectrum you are.

hey camo here is a collection of all the proven nasty hating of gays, women, racism, condoning of slavery etc etc contained in the proven book of the lord and its all illustrated in lego

http://www.thebricktestament.com/home.html

im not sure it mentions abusing children and then protecting abusers, discrediting victims and orchestrating mass coverups though

That's a cool site, kimbers. I find the fundamental truths of existence are generally best expressed in Lego.

So an old man,with no wife or girlfreind,who wears a dress and a hat that looks like a penis ,living on his own surrounded by men, says its ok to gay, that is unless you actually want a job off him.

But then he also says women haveno job prospects also just to confuse the matter.

Its about time that somebody invited him and his mates into the real world.

Yes there was a confirmation ceremony into the gaying community but instead of some biscuits and a sip of wine I ended up with a face like a plasterer's radio.

Dude in addition to a sky wizard there's a baddy who lives under the ground too!
