It's not all bad, this new pope ain't half bad, he's not even a Nazi!

Pope Francis States Ideological Christians Have An “Illness”  

Seriously though most I have heard come out this pope's mouth seems good, it's pretty amazing. It's like the Vatican got a PR firm and got told just how retarded they were for appointing that last one.

Talking about bad news, someone e-mailed to ask how I'm doing, and then casually commented on how he'd be "disappointed if he wasn't among the first to be rounded up for the camps when the big nasty happens" or something like that because he had a FB group that was sticking it to the man. I cussed him out, if you think it's normal to mention something that dark that casually, you need your head straightened. A little while before that happened, I left all conspiracy sites I was following, I was and am beyond fed up with the self-defeated loser talk, the random belief systems, the group (non-)think and the "conspiracy community" in general. Seriously, if you post something that features the line "in the presence of the esteemed Roseanne Bar" it's pretty much a red alert to all the intelligent people to run the fuck away from you. Enjoy waiting for that fictional future big nasty Alex Jones and co are getting rich of, I'll be living my life while you're doing that.
