Pope Burns in Hell

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A photo of a bonfire taken by a Polish construction worker is creating a stir for the resemblance of the flames to a silhouette of the country's beloved son, the late Pope John Paul II.

The picture of the flames — said to resemble a silhouette of the pope bending in a gesture of blessing — has been featured in newspapers across Poland and other countries, including Germany and Italy.

Actually it looks like a little old lady hailing a cab, but OK, so the Pope is burning in Hell. Maybe its because the Catholic Church is the tool of Satan (duh).

I swear I wish that Pope was still kickin' just so someone could tell him to push his damn head back up onto his shoulders. Look at it, it's like thirty feet in front of him. It's absolutely driving me nuts! It's like being back in school when the teacher would erase the entire chalkboard only to miss that one miniscule piece of writing. Or when someone has that one little bang hanging in their face. It's really quite frustrating. You just want to reach in and "press up".

Will someone photoshop this old bastard already!

More from Poland. The reactionary twin brothers are trying to retain power in new elections. Of course the former PM Jaroslaw is another not gay family values guy.

"They are also both former, and famous, child actors. There seems to be only one difference between them: Lech Kaczynski, the President, is married, with one child; at 56, brother Jaroslaw, the Law and Justice party boss, has never married and lives with their mother. The word in the gay street here is that Jaroslaw Kaczynski is a closet case whose homophobia is fueled by fear."

http://www.thegully.com/essays/gaymundo/051110_poland_election.html

"Then, also last week, former President Lech Walesa repeated on Polish television a crack about the current prime minister's homosexuality that he had made 13 years before-when, in an interview on the Polish public TV network TVP1, he had said that the Kaczynski twins had come to his birthday party, and that "Lech came with his wife and Jaroslaw came with his husband."

Can you say, "Photoshop?"

I work in Photoshop extensively, and it looks to be doctored. I would love to have a full res file of this. Look at the top of the 'head'. Flames at that height would be dancing a lot more, and not rounded. Same with the back and arm.

My bet is it's a hoax.

BJ,

I have no experience with photoshop, but I am a bit of a pyro. I love sitting around a good fire and I have never seen flames act like the supposed head seen in this picture.

If you ask me, it looks more like the pope being burned at the stake.

That's because they checked the Patriot Act database first, and found out about you. Nasty atheist!

I agree that it is photoshopped. The shoulder, cape and elbow especially, with some on the head.

Interesting that folks who claim atheisim would in the same breath claim the Catholic Church to be a tool of Satan.

I think ya’ll are just jealous because you want to play with Satan’s tool, but since you may or maybe don't believe he exists you can't or maybe you can do that. Gosh it's hard to be so mixed up.

Susan,

Ever hear of a figure of speech? Sometimes I use the expression, "I feel blessed", even though I don't actually feel BLESSED. Just fortunate.

Nice to see you in a good mood this morning.

P.S. Satan's tool, also known as the Devil's dick, is another name for a crack pipe. No thanks.

Yes Susan, it has already been established that Christians have an obsession with sexual symbols.

Gosh it's hard to be so mixed up.

I can only guess at the difficulty of your situation, however, it is your choice, assuming that you are not a child and experiencing the abuse that is common in Christian communities. If you are an adult you do have a choice, you can break free of the delusion. Together we can help you if you are willing.

Obviously, sarcasm's wasted on you.

Nah, we don't do the imaginary play thing.
Some repressed libido you got on you.

Gosh it's hard to be so mixed up.

You have my sympathies.
Oh, you mean US.
Oh my stars & garters.
Way to represent your imaginary POV.
Now 'scuse me, I need to ride off into the night & attend our coven's solstice celebration. A few dabs of unbaptised baby's fat, & I should be able to fly!
(Again, sarcasm, in case you're wondering)

Great post, Susan! I haven't submitted any nutjob quotes to fundiessaythedarndestthings.com in quite a while. Thanks for supplying me with some wacky new material!

@Susan

If you want to post anything meaningful you are going to have to use your imagination a little bit and try to understand our position. We don't maybe believe or not believe in supernatural things. We simply don't believe. Just like you don't believe in Zeus or the tooth fairy. Our views are as strong as yours. Imagine if I claimed that you maybe believed in Christ Jesus or maybe you didn't.

A history of inquisitions, homophobia, sexism, hypocrisy, greed, and fucking little kids. The only choice IS to bash catholics.

Sounds like you were imbibing the 80 proof on the way home from the revival meeting again.

And if we're 13-year-old altar boys you'll prey on each and every one of us too, right?

It was only last week where I read in the Niagara Gazette about the announcement that several Catholic Churches are forced to consolidate due to lack of support and Priest....

I pray that people who believe in this bullcrap go be with their maker just as soon as their little fairy tale wings can carry them....

It's only a shame that it's illegal to use clubs to do said bashing.

Phreedm, it's all about balance...

If it is really all about balance, we have a lot more bashing to do.

Ren-
Good point. I've never heard about atheists burning believers at the stake.*

*For all you fundy trolls out there, I'm not condoning this practice, I'm just making a point, so don't take it literally.

Boise Jim,

You're forgetting that we maybe (or maybe don't) believe in fire.

I think if I, after dying, had the magical power to appear to the living, I'd do it in a less ambiguous way. To each his own, I guess.

That's been Photoshopped. Not very well, either.

leestein,

That's okay. It's good enough to fool most Christians.

this is what templar knights,protestants and innocent women charged with witchcraft look like at the hands of catholic scum.the jews and muslims also got a taste of catholic love.

Comment from: alatham [Member]

reason,

Don't forget that men were also burned for Witchcraft, though the women / men ratio was still pretty high.

That's because women always get the short end of the rib.

10/23/07 @ 11:35

Comment from: DD Dropout [Member]

So that's why they were so enthusiastic about barbecuing witches. Ribs! Prolly had a mean Holy sauce recipe, too.

Yah, funny how a patriarchy might tend to go for the weakest and least defended. IBTP.

It's obviously photoshopped.
