  • An Apolytoner Pope in 2005

    Ari Rahikkala kindly pointed out the original thread on Gentoo Linux forums to me. Well, not to me. To someone else. On LiveJournal. And I saw the pointer.

    Erm.

    Never mind.

      My wife, cuz I wanna live in the Vatican.

      Ted Striker, cuz he's the Pope Mackdaddy.

      Pekka, Fez, Timiat, and Zylka, cuz they'd all be good for Laz's writings.

            That would make you either a heretic, an infidel, or an apostate. Sorry, no archons need apply.

                Against? He invented it, for christ's sake!
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                  If I might offer one little insignificant tidbit... I thought that... erm... the pope had to be... you know, a dude.

                  Oh yah, and Catholic too.

                    I'd like my pope to be a bit taller than the last one.
                    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                    -Richard Dawkins

                      According to legend, there was a Pope Joan.

                        Pekka and Ming are the frontrunners. Who will win? Who is the true Vicar of Christ on Earth? Only time will tell.

                            I was torn between Zylka and Pekka, and went with Pekka. I'd rather have a Pope who takes care of some buisness via the "backdoor" instead of a pope who licks random amphibians at the pet store, has some strange dream about a barn and moonshine, and wakes up three states away wearing no pants and ski boots.
