Let's face it, if God doesn't have the time or inclination to listen to the freaking Pope's prayers, why would anyone else expect a look in?
You know... Whether or not such a crazy character such as Yahweh exists is a matter of fact, it exists or it does not. If someone thinks it exists, however misguided, to them that is how it is; fair enough. It's choosing to then worship the piece of shit that I can't understand. They are the ones trying to convince us that he really did all the horrific stuff in the books.
If I believed it was real, I'd be totally enraged at it, and wanting answers as to why it was such an evil prick. My "prayers" would sound very different to the norm.
Here's the rub: The pope isn't special. If there is a god, the pope isn't anymore important than the average person who prays for the things. God isn't looking at the world and saying, " Since you're The pope, I'm going to answer your specific prayers." Shit. God has yet to show mercy to those who are hungry or disease ridden so what the fuck makes the prayers of one man called the pope any more significant?
At the end of the day, god doesn't do any of the shit he should be doing for a planet inhabited by people he supposedly put here to begin with. He ignores the cries of "his people" and he's wasted time doing absolutely nothing. Why people think he exists when there is so much suffering in the world that could be relieved, is a complete mystery. He's not real. I am amazed at the number of people who lack the common sense to see that.
