God Must Be an Atheist

"Al Qaeda militants in Iraq have vowed to wage war on the "worshippers of the cross" following the Pope's controversial comments about Islam. The group said it would "break the cross and spill the wine". Pope Benedict XVI caused anger in the Muslim world over the weekend with comments earlier in the week that seemed to endorse a view that Islam was a violent religion." - from here

I don't know if I should cry or laugh when the news begins to sound like something straight out of The Onion.

'break the cross and spill the wine'? yo, quoting Nostradamus is pretty cheap. is it just the translation or what? and the village idiot will come forth to be the leader!

'we gagged the Pope', on the other hand, is pretty intriguing.

in pictures of the protests there's this one dude who actually has a giant handwritten sign reading 'Pope's Remarks Are Hypocritical'. i love it! it's so complex for a protest sign.

xo, math+

I didn't understand the meaning of this post at all, but I hate the Pope.
