6 million and me
January 19, 2015 at 7:31 am
Just saw the Pope on TV taking Mass in the Philippines.
As I looked at the 6 million taking Mass I thought,
" Blimey, they are all wrong and I am right."
Atheism can lead one to get big headed.
"When a star twinkles I will sit and stare.
When the Earth trembles I will be aware.
When oblivion takes me I shall not care,
For in Earth and in Heaven, I have been there."

6 million people can help each other to all be wrong.

True. But when I saw it, it first and foremost made me nauseous.

Knowing a worldwide renowned pilgrimage site as Fatima, Portugal... I wonder... what sort of scale the logistics for 6 million people must be?
6 million people sleeping, eating, shitting and loitering... 6 million people who would otherwise not be there....

Who is to say that they are wrong and I am right? Maybe both are wrong! I know too little about this universe to claim i am right for sure...

I almost threw up the other day when I saw him telling people who basically live in slums not to be too materialistic. Presumably they're meant to give any spare money they have to the church so they can buy more golden goblets to drink the finest wines out of.

No, we're definitely right :p No one has made a meaningful claim to be wrong about.
I don't know why anyone is listening to that wiry tosser after his mental mouthful the other day.

Misanthrope me, I saw locusts, without foresight, devouring everything in their path and eventually starving. The pope is just one of our selected traits for effective swarming.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

I like the current pope. He represents a net improvement in the quality of popes. Also, he doesn't look like a Star Wars villain.
