Pope Francis says atheists can go to heaven

You think he's the most progressive pope in history? Specialist historians have studied the history of all popes and come to this conclusion?

First time I have read that statement. I think you're speaking colloquially with exaggeration. There have been many liberal popes. A socialist pope died mysteriously after one month of being a pope in the 1970s.
 
I once was told that all dogs go to heaven, but I have to believe Sly presents a significant challenge to that theory.

I'm going to guess he doesn't make it.
 
What he forgot to add is that yeah...they get to the promised land but instantly become indentured servants and are immediately neutered
 
I agree! We should leave religion to the politicians.

Sigh! You've got your glasses on wrong again.

So, similar to what happened when he dumped O-Live for S2?
I suppose. This time he'll move in and wanna change stuff. He'll miss those all natural Trader Joes dog treats and get one to open by him. Then all the German Shepherds and Dachshunds move in and force all of the black labs out.

SlyYuppyDog. Ruining this the way he does everything.

Wrong, the first thing I'll do is send all Laker fans straight to hell!
 
In Francis' Christmas Day prayer on Friday he indirectly denounced the Islamic State, decrying both the "brutal acts of terrorism" that struck Paris this year and the "monstrous evil" endured by the people of Syria and Libya.


How does he know Jihadists aren't following their conscience? They certainly seem pretty sincere to me.
 
I agree with this because I don't believe religion is why we are all here. Therefore anyone can go to heaven regardless of their religion if they respect the planet and the people living on it.

Although I still haven't met an "atheist" who has legitimate evidence that there is no God.

There's no legitimate evidence that there is a god though, so there's no need for evidence that there isn't one.
 
There is to me though, that's why I don't take one side or the other.
I know you edited it out real quick but I think people saying they are agnostic is kind of just a cop out. Either a person believes in a god or they don't. If they don't, they're an atheist. Agnosticism is a different conversation.

bullshit....saying you don't know the answer is the beginning of scientific method...blind faith doesn't require us to define our beliefs to fit those 3 schools of thought..I'm an agnostic for my own reasons. That's the great thing about choice.

Your answer for the question "Do you believe in god?" is simply "I don't know"?
 
Either a person believes in a god or they don't.

You're right that agnosticism is a different conversation (referring to knowledge rather than belief) but I wouldn't say belief itself is necessarily a black/white thing. There can be a wide range in estimation of probability of truth and level of conviction in belief.

of course...that's called being an agnostic...sort of leaving open possibilities or even considering we may not have the tools to prove it anyway..the question is more interesting to me than the definition of god worship or devil worship or whatever you dwell on in your own spirit. If you want respect for your beliefs, you should return the courtesy
