You hear that, Glob? YOUR BOSS has spoken so now you can STFU.

The only real problems are avarice, anger and stupidity.

No comment from Glob, the man who hates atheists. Why not, Glob? Too
comfortable under that little rock of yours or has your Pope
disappointed you? I know you forgive his overseeing of selling babies
and not doing anything about the child molesting priests. Do you not
forgive him for what he said about atheists?

Selective reading and selective journalism

He said nothing new...

You missed the part "redeemed through Jesus"
Christ died for all of mankind...old news.
But do you see yourself as "redeemed"?
Redemption is a heavy duty part of Christianity.
I would guess you would reject that part big time.
Murderers in prison can do "good". Drug addicts
can do "good". Muslims do "good". The Pope is
merely not dismissing the good that all people
are capable of.

No, I didn't.

> Christ died for all of mankind...old news.

False news. Some say he moved to India with Magdalena, had a slew of
kids and died of old age practicing Buddhism.

> But do you see yourself as "redeemed"?

My religion is much deeper than that. We take charge of our own destiny
and don't need a fairy tale about how someone died for our sins.

> Redemption is a heavy duty part of Christianity.

Yeah, we know, and it's false.

> I would guess you would reject that part big time.

You got it.

No, unlike you, he's claiming that even atheists, if they do good, will
be saved by your make believe Jesus. "Good", BTW, is a subjective
judgment and therefore meaningless.

In other words you are happy to be in that "saved" category?
Saved from what?

Don't put words in my mouth that aren't there.

I don't need saving by anyone. I take responsibility for my own life and
don't rely on magical fairy tales like you do.

Care to reply to the other points I made or merely scurry under that
rock of yours like you do so many times.
