Would you kill the pope if somebody offered you 1 billion dollars to do it?

Just wait till he falls apart. Can't be long.

No.

Yeah, course. I'm from Britain, so i suppose i'm technically Church of England, which is protestant...so yeah, i'd kill that cheeky pope, with his crazy 'catholics'
lol
(although i'd prefer 1 billion pounds cos its more, but its still a nice amount...)

I'm from britain too, but wouldnt say I was technically anything...
but if u consider urself christian... u'd be succombing to greed to kill someone... isnt there something in the 10 commandments (or elsewhere in the bible?) about bout greed and murder?

and, no, I wouldnt do it

Hell yeah!

The pope looks like if he were to close his eyes he would die.

Im an athiest.

There aint no God, there aint no Jeebus.
The Pope is just some old man with delusions of granduer.
He is however, very important to a lot of people.

But...

Would I snuff the old codger?

No.

Athiest, remember?
The pope, to me, is not the direct link between God and Earth....
So why would I take a billion dollars to kill him?

Not to mention the fact that anyone willing to offer you that amount of money most certainly has no intention of paying you.

i guess i would, after all the pope is only the emporer of rome...

i was just saying that according to the government etc, if you have no specific religion, you are registered as C of E.(i think, might just be after you die eg when they can't decide what to bury you as)
i'm not actually christian, don't go to church etc but yeah there prob is something in there about killing and greed...
but for 1 billion dollars... probably still would

for a billion of dollar i would do nearly everything and so yes i would kill him

for a billion of dollar i would do nearly everything and so yes i would kill him
Yeah good point i'd kill most things for a billion dollars

ah, ok, fair enough... didnt know they randomly assign u a religion when u die?!
lol, hte wierndess this country has!
anyhows...

but why kill the pope?

Yes, I 'd do it for free just to see something else on CNN.

They only assign you C of E if you happen to live in E... and as we all know E isn't B.

N.E.way -- would I kill the Pope? If I represented a Kurdish separatist group who'd been screwed over in a clandestine arms deal by the Vatican Bank, then I might give it a go. It's amazing how much a bank's customer service department perks up when you take a potshot at their CEO. :)

Oh yeah good point, sorry. I'm in England, so i think if you don't put down a religion on your census form or something, they put you down as C of E. Dunno what happens in the rest of Britain

[QUOTE = BackwoodsSquatches]The pope, to me, is not the direct link between God and Earth....

yeah, think its because C of E is the official religion or whatever of England

Just wait till he falls apart. Can't be long.

lol..
maybe.. i could just sneak up behind him & startle him. it'd probably give the old guy a heart attack right there..

but i kinda feel sorry for the pope.. does anyone here read the national enquirer? that guy's been hit my two meteorites! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

*notes the obvious sarcasm and leaves*

Id Kill Him For Te Money And To See The Catholic Religion Crumble I Hate Catholisism Its Based On Fear And Hate And Raping Kids...

Meh they'd probably just appoint a new pope, although you could set an ingenious trap or something so that every time a pope steps out onto his little balcony thing it tips him off... so you'd have a constant stream of popes coming in through the door, being appointed, then dying
Muwuhahaha sometimes i amaze even myself ;)

But think of the pollution: all that white smoke going all the time. And the little man who checks the new Pope's balls would probably demand overtime: "Yes, yes, testiculos habet et bene pendentes, just like the last one. Join the Catholic Church, they said. See the world, they said...".

lol must be quite annoying "Ok sir, the council has selected you to be the Pope. Now, drop your trousers"

Would you kill the pope if somebody offered you 1 billion dollars to do it?

i do it for less then that


:sniper: :mp5: :gundge:
(sorry, had to throw those smilies in)

Id Kill Him For Te Money And To See The Catholic Religion Crumble I Hate Catholisism Its Based On Fear And Hate And Raping Kids...

Hm.. actually catholicism is very easy on those things compared to all other protestant "threads"...
Not that I am going to church or anything and I am not defending any churches either, but Catholicism is actually quite relaxed and flexible at the end of it.
Gee, Bush and Half americans are more moralist and conservativ then the whole of the Catholic church togheter...

No; that's called terrorism.

FOr $1M, I could sabotage that silver cross of his so that it'd snap when he leans on it ...

Not to offend anyone who worship the Pope or whatever but, the Pope are wannabes. If they were really chosen of God they wouldn't be shaking hysterically. They can barely do anything except wave there hand and act like they are having a spazem.

I wouldn't kill anyone, but there's no reason the pope would be special in either non killing or killing. I am not religious and have little respect for organized religion.

Yeah, Id probobly do it, the pope is no different than any other person, and I do n' think i could turn dwon a billion dollar hit.

Is there some miracle they did that i just havent heard of? I have never heard of the Pope doing anything besides standing in the back of a car and waving. Yeah they might have belief that everyone sould be moral thats all great. But, all they did was make themselves "higher" than everyone else and have them worship him. Im sorry but the Pope act like they are just as high as God and should be worshiped...

Well im a protestant and the Roman Catholic pope holds no special place in my heart, so for a billion dollars id shoot him. Although that wouldnt really achieve much since they would just elect another pope in his stead. But hey, if they were willing to pay me a billion dollars for every pope i popped i just might make a career out of it, lol. :D

Well, im a Christian and I like to study other religions on the side. Out of all the religions I have studied, I have found Catholocism more disturbing and wrong than Satan worshiping. They twist and change things in the bible so that they can get thier way with things. Just pick up a catholic bible, and a christian bible, you will see that there are more books, versus, and just chaucked full of Bullshit in the Catholic bible, and they still have the same line in the back that says "those who take away from this word will take away from his life and those who add to this word will add the plagues of egypt onto his/her life".Catholocism is a cult and it should be treated like a cult. I would take out the pope for free if I thought it would change anything.

Yes I would.

I don't think I'd kill anyone for any amount of money - I couldn't live with the guilt - but that isn't to say I'm the papacy's biggest fan. I live in England too and I'm Church of England; but I'm very liberal in my interpretations and I wouldn't say I was "religious".

I don't hate the Catholic Church but I'm very critical of some of its actions and very sceptical about its credibility. Let's not forget that it remained conspicuously quiet during the Holocaust, resisted the unification of Italy until Quanta Cura in 1929 (Italy having been unified in 1861), rejected the "liberal" political changes that emerged during the 19th Century and remains the single biggest obstacle to a conciliation with protestantism (it refuses to allow Protestants to partake in certain rituals despite having apparently equal faith in Christ); and therefore has served only to exacerbate the troubles in Northern Ireland for the last thirty years.

I'm afraid the sexual abuse scandals haven't helped either and although no religion or denomination can escape criticism, it strikes me that the Catholic Church has been a compliant vehicle that self-interested clergymen have used to consolidate their own power to the detriment of everyone else. That isn't to say that the Christian - or indeed any religious message - is irrelevant, but I feel that intransigent pontiffs aren't conducive to spreading the basic, fundamental message that has sadly been lost through hypocrisy and debauchery.

for that kinda cash, i'll make him renounce his faith before i grant him the mercy of death.

When I saw this thread... I was thinking.... wow.. what a horrible topic.

Then I was preparing to find all these strong and positive posts... from the atheist, the agnostic, the protestant, to the Catholic.... speaking OUT against KILLING.... as well as the GREED that reaks here.

I always think the better regarding my fellow human beings.

Well..... it just shows what the heart actually is when God is of no value.

And the protestants on here. Shame to you. Very very sick. Remember where your Christianity came from... you do not have a leg to stand on without the Catholic Faith.

To the "Bible Genius"....... KNOW where the Bible came from. Know what came first... a Church? or a Bible? Jesus didn't leave behind the NT... he started a Church. In the year 384 the Holy Bible as we know it was COMPILED.... all through the authority of the Catholic Church. Early Christians did NOT tote around a nice leather bound Bible ... shouting "I am saved"......

If you truly understood what the Church is.... and who the pope is..... you may have a change of heart. Don't judge Catholicism for BAD POPES, BAD PRIESTS.... or BAD PEOPLE........ (the wheat and chaff parable comes in here...)

Take ANY of your vocations, jobs, etc.... there is the GOOD with the BAD.

Maybe I am wasting my time. What a sad topic... and what sad replies.

Hopefully, your heart changes someday.....

Now let the tomatoe throwing begin.....

God Bless you all.

Good luck. You would just make another Christian Martyr. No true Catholic or nonCatholic Christian would ever denounce their faith......

As much as I hate the pope, I can't say I could bring myself to kill him. I really don't care about money.

For a billion dollars I'd crucify my mother. So yes... indeed I would kill the pope. Hell... I'd hire me a few people and destroy all of vatican city for that matter. Although ofcourse they would have to pay half the money up front.

ok.... i see what we are dealing with..... pretty sad.

i would kill the pope for free, if the opportunity presented itself. he is guilty of murdering tens of thousands of people, and i believe in capital punishment for such a crime.

Oh really, and how might that be?
And one more thing, to this whole thread...why?

i would kill the pope for free, if the opportunity presented itself. he is guilty of murdering tens of thousands of people, and i believe in capital punishment for such a crime.

When did he kill people?

We have the impression that the silly persons who would be so willing to kill the pope for whatever reason, would be the first to soil their garments if they were ever put in that position!

And the protestants on here. Shame to you. Very very sick. Remember where your Christianity came from... you do not have a leg to stand on without the Catholic Faith.


Yes, and this was precisely my point, if Christianity owes its development to the Catholic Church then the Papacy should oversee the conciliation of Catholicism and Protestantism and the establishment of the general principles of "fellowship" and "mission" which are so often preached but hardly ever practiced.

I think it's also vital to bear in mind that Jesus Christ was not trying to create Christianity, that happened thanks to the contribution of St. Paul after JC's death. I'm no theologian, and I'm not a religious nut before anyone starts, but I think it should be borne in mind that Christ was a Jew whose inspiration was the corruption of the society of his day. If he were to return tomorrow, I think he'd object to some of the excesses of the very Church that sprang from his story

Oh and by the way, I don't think killing the Pope or greed is the answer... It's reform...

When did he kill people?

the Pope directly instructed priests and church leaders to tell African peoples that condoms cause AIDS, and have specifically stated that all the medical evidence disproving this is wrong (despite having no evidence of their own). Catholic missionaries in Africa are told to use any means necessary to prevent the use of condoms, even by married couples...HIV positive men are told not to use condoms with their wives, and vice versa. because the Pope is the head of the Church, the responsibility falls to him as the leader. each child born HIV positive, each newly infected victim, each person who dies because the Church told blatant lies about contraception to forward their own agenda, each of these deaths falls at the doorstep of the Pope. as a mass-murderer, he deserves to be executed for his crimes. i would also suggest executing any members of the Church who knowingly perpetuated this systematic murder of third-world peoples, but i think it is only reasonable to start from the top and work down.

Would you kill the pope if somebody offered you 1 billion dollars to do it?

Presuming you have time to spend the money .... I suppose you would then try to organise another 9/11 to get into favour with the other guys who like to sacrifice other people's lives, but never their own?

Go the Pope in his Pope mobil, thats what I call his wheelchair. I wouldn't kill the Pope, He's almost dead anyway. I'm athiest....

did anyone know theres a battalion of swiss dudes whose duty it is to protect the pope, and they wear pyjamas. You'll have to get thru them first, and anyone who wears pyjamas and expects to be taken seriously must be really hard.

i wouldn't kill the pope, but catholicism sucks. i class most religions as brainwashing. what gives 'god' the right to tell you how to live

You can't blame the Pope or anyone else for the promiscuousness of the people involved.

Would you kill the pope if somebody offered you 1 billion dollars to do it?

definitely, wouldn't think twice

You can't blame the Pope or anyone else for the promiscuousness of the people involved.

i don't believe i did. i blame the Pope for diseminating blatant lies about contraception that lead to the spread of a deadly plague. did you miss the part about how HIV positive people in MONOGAMOUS MARRIAGES are being told not to use condoms to protect their spouse? it has nothing to do with promiscuity. if the Pope doesn't want people to use contraception then he can say so, but to lie opennly in an effort to get his way is nothing short of murder in this case.

lol i can definitely see how this tread may offend people, but you have to remember that most of the people saying 'yeah course i would' are joking(hopefully), although they may dislike the Catholic Church, or religion in general, they wouldn't actually kill the pope.
(I'm expecting a lot of people saying 'i'm serious' etc but thats what freedom of speech is about)
peace an love an all that... ;)

Would you kill the pope if somebody offered you 1 billion dollars to do it?

Kill the pope? For one billion dollars? And a one-way ticket to hell? Sure! No, actually I think I wouldn't be able to do it. Besides what is the point in killing a guy that old?
