QuoteI don't feel like mourning the pope... He represents everything I hate and fear about religion... From his war on contraception to his anti-modernism...

But well, no reason to dance on his grave either, I still have ethics ;o
Thanks , for putting my opinion into words, I couldn't find a way to say it. ^^

Yeah the omnipresent mourn lament is really pissing me off. Majority of students came to my school dressed black today and they were looking as if the apocalypse was going to begin tomorrow. My TV would be totally useless these days if I didn't have a DVD <__<. Personally I do not believe in God all those miracles and stuff but we can't say that pope was evil. I admit that we can accuse him of anti-modernism, since the contraception thing, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised that he didn't want to allow homosexual marriages. Imagine, how would you feel if you were an adopted child of two gays? That's a really inconvenient situation... Without a shadow of doubt, the pope did lots of good things for my country, since I'm Polish. He played a significant role in overthrowing the communism, filled the hearts of Poles with hope. I'm considering him as a political leader rather than a pope. But aside from all, he was also an old man that was going to die like everyone. So the mourns and crying are rather groundless. There is but one good point - the classes in whole country are cancelled for Friday :P

Are you kidding?
The cinemas in my country are closed until Friday (Pope's funeral). So is the National Opera House and some others. Some supermarkets are closed too. All web pages and newspapers are black&white. No school on Friday in the whole country. No football matches or TV transmissions of matches abroad.
And you want to chage the topic? :lol:
