ROME (AP) – President Bush said Saturday that and he and Pope Benedict XVI discussed the pontiff’s deep worries that Christians in Iraq would not be embraced by the Muslim majority.”We didn’t talk about just war,” Bush said in a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi during a swing through Europe.”He was concerned that the society that was evolving would not tolerate the Christian religion. … He’s worrisome about the Christians inside Iraq being mistreated by the Muslim majority.”

the pope is worried that the priests might be “molested” by the muslims…if that happens then there IS a god or karma ,or my last birthday wish come true.
Jay Leno stated in his Friday night monologue that upon meeting the pope, Bush asked, ?How is Mrs. Pope.? Sure sounds like something Bush would say.
Muslims embracing Christians is pretty far down the list of things to worry about in Iraq right now. Better to worry about Sunnis and Shi’ites not killing each other. I’m guessing the pope is not super worried about more dead Muslims.
And just think about how this conversation will play out in Iraq right now. Scores of Iraqis dying every day, and here’s the pope meeting with Bush, and they’re getting all worried about how Christians will fare in Iraq. Disgraceful.
Why is he even meeting with the Pope? Bush is a “born again”. He’s certainly not from the real Catholic religion.
“The Roman Catholic Religion. The first, the original, the real catholic religion! The one all those other watered down newbie religions stem from!” I always say that when the Jahova Witness come to the door. That and what could they possibly have to say to someone named after a God? (Diana). Because after all, I’m Italian and you know… Roman Empire and all. That get’s rid of them pretty quick. Sometimes even before I go into my schtick about my Celtic heritage–pagan stuff, and usually they leave before I give them a list of other gods, and ask them if they’d gotten a flu shot the past winter and how isn’t it a shame how the virus keep evolving and new vacines are needed.
I think I’m the only person that looks forward to them knocking on the door! LoL!
diane,
Beautiful! I have only had one encounter with Jehova’s witness types. Two young ladys came to my door in Germany. I think I scared them so bad that a couple of days later, a male showed up and mentioned the two females. He left even more exasperated than the first two.
My personal favorite is Mormons! I love them people! They’re loads of fun. Since I am such a gracious host, I ALWAYS offer them coffee, first thing. Then I proceed to show them my library of religious articles, and start hitting them with questions fast and furious before they can start in on me with their load of malarky.
I haven’t seen any in a while. I sure do miss those people
***On Topic***
Bush is said to have been ‘in awe’ of the poop. That’s not saying much. His old man was ‘in awe’ of a bar-code scanning machine at a local grocery store in the summer of ’91. If I’m not mistaken, that had something to do with the reason he lost reelection. Something about being out of touch with actual human beings, or such.
Was W that nut who tried to jump onto the pope mobile? Everything happens so fast anymore and we have to keep an eye on these con men trying to pull another fast one all the time. I’ll bet W doesn’t amount to anything more than just one more unpleasant and passing fart in the breeze to this particular pontiff and if W gets hasty and ventures much further into it he might just become one true believer and even more than ever.

When I was in my twenties the Jehova’s Witnesses used to come to my door a lot with family in tow. It was always much too early on Saturday mornings. So one day I decided to rid myself of these pests. The next time they knocked on my door I answered the door in my blue speedo briefs and struck John Trovolta’s trademark pose from the movie Saturday Night Fever. Jaws dropped and children’s eyes were covered. I think the ladies were a bit arosed but, funny thing, I never saw them again.
‘He’s _worrisome_ about the Christians …’. WORRISOME????
Remember folks, this is the POTUS, not the gas station attendant, not the bus boy.
His grammar, made up words and verbal bungles make him sound like a rube, as usual.
In any case I’m glad they ‘didn’t talk about just war,’ particularly since that would be impossible as war is never just, particularly not in the hands of the Idiot in Chief.
I just read the news about Bush and the Pope– I get the feeling that the Pope is against the war in Iraq. If that be the case, good for him!
What,
“The next time they knocked on my door I answered the door in my blue speedo briefs and struck John Trovolta’s trademark pose from the movie Saturday Night Fever.”
I wonder if white briefs and the Tom Cruise pose would have worked as well?

“I wonder if white briefs and the Tom Cruise pose would have worked as well?”
Well I haven’t seen any JWs around my new digs but if I do maybe … Just take those old records off the shelf
Whoops I menat Evil
thx-
the pres makes up words because he’s not a brainful as we are
I bet the pope loves this war, since they sure did like it about 800 odd years ago. We’re “removing a dictator because he has WMD”, and while we’re at it lets shove democracy and the buybil down their throats. All in all it’s a good day.
NO NO Dangerman bush said he had wmd were are they and so I ask why did we kill him I mean they are lots of bad leaders in the world what is bush going to go and kill them too what ever happend to bin we have not found him (so they say) what the F@#$ is the u.s. doing in iraq geting or solders killed for what ahhhhhhhh I could go on and on about this

I too look forward to the Jehovas and other religious folks knocking. Most of the time they’re black as am I. They’re SHOCKED, shocked, shocked, that I’d dare to challenge the bible as the word of some god. I get great pleasure from their shocked horrified faces. Most of the kids with them listen closely though. Don’t know if anything I say sticks….
Quickk
It sticks. I recall very clearly a time when my parents took us to Sunday Mass. This time, for some reason, they said we could go sit in the soundproof area where very young children and their mothers would sit. There was nobody in the area except for my younger brother, myself and a fellow that was in his twenties. This fellow narrated the mass for us telling us of which parts were borrowed here and there from various older religions. It was very interesting for a 12 year old boy raised in a Catholic family.
Word of Caution: Antagonizing Mormons is a big mistake…If you ask them to do menial work around the house (dust, clean bathrooms, pick lint off the curtains, mop floors, mow the yard, wash the dog and the cat…together, at the same time) they actually will in exchange for 5 minutes of listening to their spiel…C’mon, what is five minutes in exchange for saving you hours of back-breaking work, and, they are legal…:)
the christians in iraq deserve our support they have been treated as second class citizens since the muslim conquest and we know how that feels.we can’t say we support equal rights and then turn a blind eye to the very real hardship of other groups.atheist soldiers risk their lives to protect religious believers
lets not undermine that sacrifice by blowing off the hardship of christians in iraq.
“Bush meets Pope” Why am I thinking of Forrest Gump?
Barbiebrains,
Shit! Do Mormons really do all of that if you listen to them for 5 minutes?? They don’t accidentally break anything, do they? Hmm, I should get up earlier on Saturdays to let them in.
Barbiebrains,
Struth! My good friend is an evangelical, true Holy Roller, and he told me the same thing. Said he was painting his house and ‘two nice boys’ came by, and he put them to work. Said they rolled up their sleeves and painted for about four hours while they talked bibble-stuff back and forth–both trying to convert the other apparently.
He invited them in and gave them lunch, and tho they didn’t come to terms on some of the ‘finer points’ if ya follers, they left friends.
He did decline to accept a copy of their book however, having his own full-of-shit version of fairy tales.
I bought a Sunday paper today. It has a picture of Pope Benedict XVI standing between our holy roller president and Laura Bush. The fat moron pope appeared to be wearing a large long white lace skirt.
When I was a child I was a totally brainwashed Catholic. My entire youth was completely wasted being taught by mentally retarded nuns in a Catholic grammar school kindergarten thru 8th grade. I think all religions are a pile of shit, but I have a very special hatred for the Catholic religion.
Evilatheist and emkay:
The Mormon thing is absolutely true…check out what my friend Betty Butterfield says…it’s very funny…

Lots of material there.
A little off-topic:
Church wants cash for ‘sick’ game
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/fun.games/06/11/sony.manchester/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
Isn’t a church considered public property anyways? And wouldn’t this be like the president asking for money from every video game that contains a picture of the White House? To me, this just sounds like the church wanting money.
POTUS meets POPE…
We pay the fuel for Air Force one to get him there…
We also paid for him to go to a Pope’s funeral…
and they worried about Kennedy being run by the vatican…
pabobfin: Kennedy had nuts and W is nuts. Bushie can’t man-handle anything so now his only association with manhood are mothballs from his closet.
