"The Pope is not JESUS... never has been... never will be. I don't know where you go the idea that anybody thought the Pope was Jesus. Most likely from some ingnorant person with a deep hatred of Catholicism I suppose."""""*****
"""""***** Do yourself a favor: If you can't think of anything interesting or relevant to say, just keep your "mouth shut". Your mama should have told you that a long time ago. My post contained nothing that any sane person might find profound or controversal. You wanted to insult me, but you couldn't think of a single intelligent rebuttal, so you posted the lamest cop-out I have ever seen in my ten years on FR. Every bit of what I posted to you was fair and honest. I took pains to keep it that way. Your response to it was uncalled for, making the desperation obvious. You should have gone with your first inclination to not respond at. But since we're past that point, and you've already called me insane and stupid I think you owe me an example from my post that justifies your sudden uncristian reaction. Whatever hateful denomination it is that you belong to, I'm sure glad I missed it."""""*****
A real Christian response there... I am insane... derides my Mother... tells me to shut up... and accuses me of being a member of some "hateful denomination". Do any of you speak English around here? I am done... if I offended your Catholic sensitivities, I deeply and sincerely apologize to each and every one of you... for that was not my intent... but I learned that to dare to ask an honest question brings about responses that are not equal to the perceived crime. I am out of your lives forever. Sad, because I would bet we share much in Christ.

I can't tell you how much I hope you can keep your promise about departing my life forever. In the meantime, I am compelled to point out that I did not tell you to "shut up." I said something to the effect of "if you can't think of anything relevant or intelligent to say, you should do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut." You might want to do a web search on the proper use of quotation marks. What you have done is falsely attributed a quote to me. Not only have you violated the 8th (or 9th Commandment -depending on which religion you ask) but you have also engaged in behavior that used to guarantee immediate suspension on FR. Don't worry, the moderators are a lot more casual about these things when the perpetrator is attacking the Catholic Church. Still, you did violate a Commandment. I sure hope for your sake that your Chistian Happy Meal faith has a Confession Sacrament of some sort.
