I think 'intact' is a pretty loose term here. He looks like he's had a lot of work done, haha.
who cares about a filthy priest who is evil and just fools people into believing ridiculous "holy laws"?
Ooh... is talking the new Jesus Christ, the reencarnation of a rockstar who thinks Freddie is God... TM, you're even more lame than any catholic. I thought bringing this article would start a serious discussion about people who have faith or not. Just brought your "normal" comments about people being a fool or brainwashed. If all of us are like that, go to another forum asap. We would change your way of thinking and make you uncool like us, so please step aside and join your freaky world where everyone has the truth and it's not brainwashed, or join a group of these ones who congregates in a farm and commit massive suicides, it would be good for all of us to know where you're going after that, if you're going to heaven or to another planet.

What did you think of this, Marial?
When I read the article, I could only shake my head. I think of all the energy that goes into 'worshipping' others, rather than worshiping the life we each have, is wasted energy. I think this world would be so much better if each of us thought about our mark on the world and lived our lives as if they mattered to everyone, not just to ourselves or to some supposed supernatural being.
It makes me sad - and angry, actually - that there is so much time and energy spent on whatever being is thought to be guiding/rewarding/punishing us. I don't know if this man, Padre Pio, inflicted his own wounds or if they existed naturally. Honestly, I don't care or believe there's some connection between him and a man who supposedly rose from the dead more than 2000 years ago. I prefer to think about what's happening today and how to make tomorrow better for our kids. In my perfect world, there wouldn't be religion to separate and incite us. There would be individuals sharing the same space for the same purpose, to live in THIS life, not because of the last or FOR the next.
JMO.

Excellent post! I agree with you 100%
religion is for weak and dumb people who cant think logically.

These are the kind of post I like to read, not TM babbling stuff as always.
I do respect your opinion. I have other perspective about faith. I do believe there's a God or something stronger in this Universe that keeps us believing. About this kind of stuff, I can say I come from a catholic family, I went to a catholic school for some part of my life, and I just see these things and they're respectable for the people who have some kind of faith in it. I think that's part of God's way to do things. If it's true or false, I don't know, but then are things that can't be proven not even by science, that are a "mystery".

I'm what some might call a 'recovering catholic'. ;-)
I was raised catholic and my family is very religious, so I understand what you're saying. And certainly do respect it.
What upsets me is when people sacrifice their own happiness or that of others in the name of their religion. If faith gives a person peace and comfort, then great. Seriously. But many take it too far. I can just imagine the hordes of people flocking to see the body of this man who has been dead for so many years. Why? It's like when the pope came to New York. Millions had to be spent on security because of all the people who wanted to see him. And why did they want to see him or cry when 'he' looked at them? They said they felt blessed, one person even said she felt 'touched by God'.
I don't know. Can't they feel touched by God by looking at a stunning landscape or beautiful sunset? Wouldn't "god" like it if people were simply kind to one another... even if they didn't fall to their knees and pray to him?
Sorry Mari, that's probably more than what you were looking for.

i havent seen the story yet but...
i see it as a pragmatic thing. if it [religion, a leader, an authorative figure] works for someone, and makes them happy, why change that? it may very well be a form of guidance that makes sense to them. as long as theyre not hurting anybody, who cares?
if one is an exteremist, clearly one is insecure about something, and i hope they would find something that works for them. ultamitly we dont know whats out there, so if we feel comforted by something, we can go thru life withou that worry, at least.
usually exteremists are just fooling themselves anyway. they lose their points after a while. i understand the moment of passion, but at least back things up. nobody has to agree on anything, but it helps to see all sides of the story, to at least understand all parts. itll get yo uthinkin 'hey, maybe theres another good answer here'. so everybody wins.
but that is unrealistic.
sorry, carry on :-p
