Re: The Pope Thread [UK visit 2010 - merged]
I have to be honest i have never understood the whole man only thing some religions seem to have going on the catholic church being high on the list of sexist religions. As far as i am concerned a woman or for that fact a gay or lesbian with faith is every bit as qualified to spread the word of god and the teachings of all religions there is no practical reason why they cannot and therefore the only reason i can see is deep seated bigotry and ignorance hiding behind constructed religious belief or ideology. I may be an atheist not sure i qualify as an extreme one or not but i view all people on their individual merits as an individual and accept or reject them as such. Seems to little ignorant old me that if more religions had that approach we would live in a far happier and more progressive world then the one were stuck with at the minute.
