Alan C. Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Pope on Charlie Hebdo: 'You cannot insult the faith of others' ...Francis said there are limits to freedom of expression, especially when it insults or ridicules someone's faith. . . . "...You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." Poop Francis is a charlatan who is peddling bullshit to credulous, feeble-minded people.
st434u Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 And yet he can insult capitalism any chance he gets. How does that work?
shirgall Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 And yet he can insult capitalism any chance he gets. How does that work? Capitalism isn't a faith system, it's true whether you believe in it or not. The Pope merely seeks protection for mass delusion.
st434u Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Capitalism is a mode of social organization (or lack thereof) as well as a set of beliefs/predictions about what will yield the best results in organizing a society, and in living life at the individual level. My point was that if it's wrong to insult a religion, then surely it should also be wrong for him to do the same with beliefs systems that he disagrees with. You could technically say capitalism is your religion. You could even go as far as to say that capitalism is a religion, and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong, depending on your definition of religion. 4
MMX2010 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 There are two lines in the Bad Lip Reading video of The Walking Dead. Carl Grimes: You can't just torch a windmill, dude! Herschel Green: Yes I can. Later, tater. Just replace Carl's line with the pope's admonishment.
hannahbanana Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 ....aaaand THAT is the problem with moral systems that are not based on consistent application.
WasatchMan Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Well when you dress like the pope, I guess you get pretty sensitive to being insulted for religious insanity. 1
Level_One Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Very well, I will not insult the faith of others. I will instead strongly criticize the faith of others with all impartiality and let the faithful react as they may.With respect.Your popeliness.
powder Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Well when you dress like the pope, I guess you get pretty sensitive to being insulted for religious insanity. that made me laugh, thanks for that one Wasatchman!
Level_One Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 From tonight's chat during the show. So the pope believes that we have a right not to be offended which we should defend violently against nonviolent provocateurs who deserve it. Pope Francis: Enemy of Tolerance I wonder if that platform won him the papacy.
shirgall Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So the pope believes that we have a right not to be offended which we should defend violently against nonviolent provocateurs who deserve it. My wife took the pope's statement in the second video as a humorous exaggeration and not casual acceptance of violence.
