awareness bring thinking
Should not all the Christian's take more control about who is leading their Churches.
Above the leaders etc should be with guile.

It really 'boils my bottom' when people think that Catholics represent true Christianity. The Catholic Church is the single most bloodguilty religion in history.
Take for example:
1) The Spanish Inquisitions
2) WWI and WWII - could have been largely avoided if the church on both sides of the war had denounced it.
3) The genocide in Rawanda - mainly carried out by people claiming to be Catholic.
And as far as the Pope goes, he's part of the Anit-Christ foretold in the Bible.

Buddhists are different the main non violent human beings you will ever meet. Stalin replaced right into a totalitarianism dictator, i do no longer guard a 1984 like international, yet this is merely me.i understand many corrupt Christian sects (why i finished attending my former Baptist church). Non-radical Muslims are non violent human beings besides, my maximum suitable buddy is Muslim. i do no longer blame video games,T.V and rock track, this is ineffective propaganda and yet one greater reason I left the Baptist church I attended. i'm easily in a progressive rock band. George W. Bush is a puppet for Wall highway, i do no longer guard him or Obama for a similar reason. there is extremism everywhere, and in Christianity too, look at Jim Jones.

well then pope could think about how he helps pedophiles from being prosecuted in the courthouses. many priests that abused children are relocated to another church, or they stop working, or they are somewhere in vatican where the law cant do anything to arrest them.
blaming atheism for cruelty and violations of justice is the same like blaming islam for terrorism. atheists obeys the law, not god.

I think the Christians tend to throw the blame towards the atheist. Most wars of the past existed because of religion. Mostly wars occured for the sake of each side's "God".
Which religion actually came about without war. Seriously, I'd like to know. oO Not many, I would assume.

He is partially correct. Disobedience to God is to blame for ALL of the "greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice."
It's this simple:
"If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12
"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing." John 14:12
There is no plausible argument against that.
When will the faithless STOP using this same failed, tired, and irrational attempt to contradict the nature of God?

I blame mustaches!
Stalin, Hitler, Hussein - They all had mustaches!
Or maybe it was because they lacked a belief in the Tooth Fairy, or Thor, or Horus? Yeah, a lack of belief is what makes people start wars. Its not religious ideologies like communism at all...
Besides, Hitler gained his power due to heavy support from the church...
Imagine the Crusades with nuclear weapons... We probably wouldn't be here

I have nothing to do with a man who says he is the voice of God on this earth but I know that the Atheist leader of Red China, Mao Tse Tung, had more people murdered, because of their religion, than any other person in history.

He said "some" and not "all." And for the record, the Pope is not the spokesperson for all Christians.

Placing the blame on someone else is a human thing, not just a christian thing.
