    Not entirely true,
    although you cannot disprove god (or the adterworld) by scientific means, you can at least disprove some of the claims religious fundamentalists (who believe in the literal truth of the bible [or other holy books]) make.


    But the RC isnt fundamentalist.

        Hypocrisy is alway least funny to the hypocrite. Everyone else laughs their asses off.

          This was the most insightful comment in this thread.

          What the Patriarch of Rome is asking us to do is gamble the lives of billions on the effects of CO² emissions until we have firm evidence of their effects.

            I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                You know, it is so fashionable to take a shot at the Pope. Look, the fact is the man is out there every bloody night with fresh material and he's charming.

                      This thread is hereby revived on this Easter Sunday to demonstrate the godlessness of Apolyton, witness as dozens of members laugh at the simple idea of faith, may you all snicker until the depths of hell melt your chocolate brains.

                          Probably is beside the point to mention the pope never even said what is quoted in the OP. This is as close as he came:

                          It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.

                          "If the protection of the environment involves costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the different levels of development of various countries and the need for solidarity with future generations.

                                In all honesty, I liked the old pope better.
