The Vatican's newspaper has finally forgiven John Lennon for declaring that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, calling the remark a "boast" by a young man grappling with sudden fame. Click Here For StoryThis ridiculous forgiveness, from one of the most prejudiced, hate-riddled, war mongering institutions this planet has ever seen is one of the most, infuriating things I have read in quite some time.
John Lennon did more to promote peace and humanity in his short life than all of the popes put together throughout the entire history of the catholic church.
Why don't these catholic morons try apologizing themselves for all the thousands (millions?) of children that their priests molested? And since were on the topic, lets have another for all the innocent victims of wars fought in gods name? Maybe another for the victims of your twisted cruelty who were burned and boiled alive? Don't forget those you tortured and murdered in the name of your god for crimes like witchcraft and heresy, I could go on and on, but I like to think that I am a reasonable guy so I'll wait for the church to apologize and then judge who really needs to be forgiven.

Who am I to judge the church? Who the hell do these condescending idiots think they are to judge anyone?
I'll leave you with a couple of quotations. The first is probably not as famous as the second, with the exception of some members of the clergy (you know who you are).
"Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart."
-Jesus Christ, fictional character, circa 4 BC - 36 AD*
*I realize this makes no sense as fictional characters don't have actual birthdays and death-days, but I couldn't resist when I saw the 4 BC. How was Jesus born four years before christ? Well, he's Jesus, his mother was a virgin, for christ sake! Okay, I'll let it go. Anyway, this concise bit of data comes from the knowledgeable folks at theologyweb so lets be nice and just agree with them.
"Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do; nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace."
-John Lennon, actual real human 1940 -1980 AD

This is the best thing I've read in awhile. Religion makes me angry.
