Tripping Points.

As there is enough news on the internet I hope to stay away from post and pasting other writers comments , after I have adapted them to be my own. I've always believed that if your going to have an opinion on an important issue it should be your own , that you made after investigating the situation to the best of your ability. That of course is just my opinion , but it leads me to the title of the post, tripping points.
What I'll do is throw out some questions I have before I can get myself a real stand on the issues. The first issue , and there not ranked is the Pope.
Not being Catholic or christian this really isn't a pertinent issue in my life except to the moral and legal issues involved. First there is the issue of the children, in there own religion Jesus said something about nowhere to run nowhere to hide , "you know Millstone around the neck" .
So by defending, hiding and allowing child rapers to escape justice The Pope I guess I have to say apparently, has not only broken laws , but has betrayed the very master he serves.
Before we string him up , we have to think of the bigger issues , as in how long this has been going on, and how wide spread it is. As far as the history or where it all began , you need look no further than the Apostle Paul, as I call him the Gayest apostle.
"Bring me Timothy"!!! I had planned on doing a post on Paul, because his influence over Christianity is almost larger than Jesus Christs. In terms of print about a third of the New testament is his. In church laws or there codes the more hardcore religious they are the more they follow his teachings over , the other apostles. Paul could truly be called a legend of miss-representation.
Before I start blaspheming , I've been asked what I thought Saint Peter would say when I faced him at the Pearly gates, to which my answer is always "Hey Paul here's that guy who was telling everyone your gay". Now first off I apologize for throwing out being gay as an insult. It's not like that, its more the irony that a religion that hates homosexuals would be founded by one.
Since I haven't quoted any one I'll just summarize the situation, Paul writes in one of his Letter's "no dont send me a woman for a wife , Send me Timothy" he then goes on to pretty much spell out his interest in the young boy . This right here was probably the start of the whole sex scandal. Someday I'd like to know if they actually sent Tim.
Then if you look at it , What is the guy doing in the Bible anyway? He wasn't one of the thirteen , he was one of the guy's who Jesus didn't like. Then he had a conversion , he saw the light when he was kicked in the head . This does happen , though with me it's usually just stars. I guess the miracle is that a mule kicked him hard enough to see god , but not so hard that it killed him.
Once again I'd have no problem with him if it wasn't for all the influence he had in writing the laws on how we or you,they are supposed to live. For one his ideas on women and slavery are down right sadistic. If your a slave be a good one. If your a woman well shut up and sew me a meal. So maybe I wont write on Paul I don't want to offend anyone right?
So I think it's not just a few bad apples it's the system, will taking out Benny the Rat help the people who have been living with this their whole life's? That's not my decision to make , but I wonder which factors will be dominant in the Churches future actions.
One of course is that popes are pretty much Untouchables, it would take a lot to get fired from Poping. I think only one Pope has actually been fired, but there is the drink the poison solution. Both voluntary and the for the "good" of the church.
This get's me to a reason that they might not, other than it could be considered murder. The prophecy of the legacy of Popes. The legend goes that once upon a time a certain holy man had a vision of the future and saw all the popes , he then wrote what he saw including slight description's of each one. The rub is that according to him their list is almost over, there's only one more pope after this one. That being the case they might be thinking about making this one last as long as they can.
Being a self professed gloom and doomer , that there being one more Pope ties in with all the other "Sign's" that the end is near. And while I can Chicken Little with the best of them , I would say that yes the Sky is falling or it soon will be. And like the carbon in the air reaching and passing the tipping points we are pretty much destined to face a very near future , that has been awaited since the beginning of society The End.
If time is the only factor it's now or later, no since putting off a good thing or a bad one. We long ago passed a point of no return , the tipping points or as I write about them the tripping points.
I think if nothing else watching the event's unfold will give me something to spend my oh so precious time. Which is for now up . Thanks for reading this as always Peace and Love B.
