75$ to fill up your tank. Thats tough gass prices. If China or Iran becomes more of a problem oil with rise to 80$ bucks a barrel and then we will see 5$ a gallon. |
Yeah, I heard that in Europe it would be over $5 a gallon.
|
Gas prices are outrageous. Almost $2.45 here (Jax., FL.)
Since we're discussing current events... What is everyone's opinion on the new Pope? =) |
He's old. He won't be there for long. Also, wasn't he a Nazi?
|
yeap, an ex-Nazi soildier, right under Hitler....hmm, maybe the false prophet the bible was talking about???
|
No he wasn't. He was in Youths for Hitler (or something like that), which was a requirement for all German youth. Except the Jews, 'cause Hitler hated them. He didn't have a choice. =\
Edit: HI HT!!!! *glomptacklecling* <333333333333333333333 |
The pope was forced into the whole Nazi thing or he would've died. Not a big choice there guys.

That's a good summary of my thoughts. P.S. Nine is HOOOOOOOOOOOT. |
no, the bible says that the next pope will be the evil one or something like that, i heard that they choose a old pope so he can last less so he couldnt be compare alot with the last one

Well this pope was basically chosen becouse they couldnt pick a good one.
I dont believe the antichrist is coming but it will be interesting to see what moves this pope makes. This pope was requiered to be Hitler youth ,if he had refused he and his family would have been sent to the camps. |
Yes, he was requiered, that doesn't mean he wanted to be. Oh, and it was for what? One day that he was there, then the war ended. This is actually a good pope for the church, old yes, but they wanted someone would was likewise in views to that of the last one.
And I've never once read in the bible it saying that this pope would mean the end of the world. Nostradamus said a dark skinned pope would signal the downfall of the Catholic church. Coming from Nostradamus I don't believe it, a lot of his predictions came true because he made as many predictions a day as I make post a day. |
Thankyou, I am glad someone believes that Nostramdamous is a load of bull.
the old process of trial and error works very well. |
Weren't some popes really bad and raped women?
|
well, i don't study the bible, this is just a summary of what i read in the king james version. and on the Nazi thing, that's basically what i meant, but i prefer to summerize than to detail. lol
um...i dunno about the evil popes that raped women, you'd have to ask a christian |
LPM:read on the crusades and see the movie Kingdom of heavon, while popes did not do it directly he has been responsible for Massacres,invasions and a little know fact from WW2 I will not say on this board becouse it is very contreversial(PM if you are curious).
Another Topic, do people here support the war in Iraq or not? |
Quote:
And RaVen, popes aren't Christian. |
Christian is a broad catagory the encompasses many sects.
Catholicism is just one of the sects. |

If it will ever happen. Nostradamus is not what I would call a valid source.
|
Quote:
So what is everyone's view on the gas prices? |
well gas prices will be rising each year, because of the problems with petroleum

|
I would say that the last Pope was one of the great ones.
