You are wrong.<BR/><BR/>"Ever stop to remember how the Vatican and western nations became so rich and powerful over the centuries?" Yep, it's called capitalism.<BR/><BR/>"Guess what guys and girls, war, violence, and injustice are evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing it to whom. Anyone who thinks the Creator would judge religion, war, or any other profiteering at the expense of others as wise or acceptable activities has a very big surprise in store." So you are saying that what the Pope said is worse than the riots going on? Since when does violent action equate verbal action?<BR/>Or are you agreeing that the muslim response to the Pope is way out of lin?<BR/><BR/>It also seems apparent that you would have preferred Saddam staying in power. Although he was quite unconcerned with killing his own people. <BR/><BR/>The muslims in europe and canada are beginning to demand sharia law, that certainly sounds like fun for non-muslims. I wish you well.<BR/><BR/>Also interesting that the commenters blog does not allow comments.

The irony and absurdity in this situation is amazing, to say the least. <BR/><BR/>Dear Pope, ever heard of Karma or the golden rule? Ever stop to remember how the Vatican and western nations became so rich and powerful over the centuries? Ever consider giving up your wealth and earthly power to end the blatant hypocrisy of your vane, materialistic, and duplicitous empire? Remember the "eye of the needle" and "log and mote in the eye" parables? Is this a demonstration of your infallibility, wisdom, or blindness? As another wise one once said; <I>What goes around comes around! </I><BR/><BR/>The West has killed far more Muslims (and other dark skins) than they have killed westerners, yet our press and leaders can only see Muslim and "third world" desperation in the face of western military and <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452287081/" REL="nofollow">economic dominance and oppression</A>, (in the name of God and country, by the way), as sources of evil in this world. <BR/><BR/>Guess what guys and girls, war, violence, and injustice are evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing it to whom. Anyone who thinks the Creator would judge religion, war, or any other profiteering at the expense of others as wise or acceptable activities has a very big surprise in store. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://geocities.com/sevenstarhand/twospirits.html" REL="nofollow">Here is Wisdom!!</A><BR/><A HREF="http://sevenstarhand.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">...and here too...</A>Seven Star Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707393570093417590noreply@blogger.com
