Because Einstein said "matter cannot be created or destroyed" After his discovery he issued this statement. Albert Einstein "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religion than it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." "I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it." "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." -Albert Einstein, German-born American physicist Evidence is on your computer.

I agree with you, its also quite obvious it is a load of fairy tales.

Thats because i wasn't born over a one and a half centuries ago. Valid point.

No problem, just send the whole bill to he Vatican bank where it rightfully belongs.

Maybe its because he was Irish-[born in Armagh] and some people think we had no business killing in India, just surmising.

His nine year old bride never gets any praise, why is that? http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=aisha+mohamids+bride

This is not nonsense either. Broken Rites has revealed how a Catholic Church leader, Monsignor Patrick Cotter, covered up the crimes of one of Australia's worst pedophile priests, Father Vincent Gerard Ryan. Ryan was a priest in the Maitland-Newcastle diocese in New South Wales. By 1997, he had been jailed for a total of 16 years (with a minimum of 11 years) for sexually assaulting boys in his parishes. During their investigation of Ryan, police learned that Ryan's earliest crimes (in the 1970s) had been covered up by Monsignor Cotter (the vicar-general of the diocese), who was effectively the acting bishop of the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese up to June 1976. Bishop Leo Clarke took over the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese from Monsignor Cotter in June 1976. Clarke, who continued the cover-up, remained bishop until 1995. http://brokenrites.alphalink.com.au/nletter/page145-cotter.html

Stop sulking, grow up, if its not to late that is.

Yes, after 2000 years of ?Christianity?.

They can be offended if they wish, but they also have been duped. Christianity never did obey the ten commandments. It never did [as an institution]follow the words and 'alleged' deeds of Jesus. It never was the genuine article. The'll be plenty of honest Christians and Atheists who will not welcome this Pope.

No, this is not Christianity and its always gone on, our poets tell us. Two ground-breaking inquiries last year into the once-powerful Church shocked the mainly Catholic Ireland. They found that abuse by Catholic clergy and members of religious orders had been widespread for decades and that there was a culture of secrecy and cover-up designed to protect the reputation and assets of the Church. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/vatican-promises-investigation-into-paedophile-priest-scandal-in-ireland/story-e6frf7lf-1225873762144

You let millions speak for themselves. The facts are, the pews are emptying all over Europe, the EU has banned creationism being taught as fact. Sweden has banned it completely. The UK is in the EU. You've stated on this thread you 'wont' welcome the Pope in September. The Pope is considering calling the visit off because of complaints to the Vatican website. http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=vatican+website

That is obvious to millions. Including paedophile victims. Poets were complaining centuries ago. And here I might (if I but durst) reveal What Pranks are play'd in the Confessional: How haunted Virgins have been dispossest, And Devils were cast out to let in Priest: What Fathers act with Novices alone, And what to Punks in shriving Seats is done; Who thither flock to Ghostly Confessor, To clear old Debts, and tick with Heav'n for more. Oft have I seen these hallow'd Altars stain'd With Rapes, those Pews with Buggeries profan'd : John Oldhams died 1683.

There will be a lot of devout Christians who will NOT be offended by those words. You dont want the Popes visit yourself.
