Apparently the Pope's not a sell-out:
Thousands of tickets remain unsold for events during the visit of the Pope, who arrives in Scotland on Thursday.
Now this gives me some faith - in people if nothing else. I can't help but feel that it is a positive thing that people aren't flocking to see a privileged man in a dress who was once a member of the Hitler Youth and has done much to hide child rapists from justice. Not that I'm biased against the Panzer Pope or anything...

  1. I think his protection of paedophile priests has put people off seeing the pope. It's a shame it hasn't put everybody off though.

  2. For some, the Pope remains infallible. Which requires a substantial disconnection from reality, as far as I can see.

  3. Any one that thinks (actually an oxymoron) that any religion is a good idea already has a substantial disconnection from reality!

  4. "Now this gives me some faith"

    Ironic puns FTW!

  5. Obo,

    Quite. What gives me faith is people not having faith in a man of faith. (I've also got to stop thinking like Derrida!)

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
