Re: Popeular Opinion
The Dahlai Lama was in Denver at the same time as the Pope inserted his foot in his mouth, and the Dalai drew some big crowds and garnered a lot of respect.
The Dalai Lama is an agent of satan (unbeknownst to himself most likely). Of course he is going to garner a lot of respect. What else do you expect?
Read Acts again Phat and see what happens when the gospel is preached. Riot or ridicule ensues. This is not to say that a riot or ridicule is indicative of the gospel being preached (see: The Popes speech) but you will not expect 'a lot of respect' neither.

Why is it that Christianity can't have any Jesus-like spokesmen?
They tend to get crucified? The apostles were all Jesus-like spokesmen. Tradition has it that they all, bar John suffered violent death.

Re: Peter Poper picked a peck of prickly issues
IF that is in fact what IS going on, we are in for one heck of a time!
There is a spiritual supermarket out there for a reason. What would that reason be do you think? All paths lead to the summit?. Or piling on the counterfeit in an attempt to bury truth. The first commandment is prime for this reason I believe. It addresses the biggest problem.
Ironically, however, what IF by us becoming more fundamentally religious and (narrow minded) we actually conribute to the deterioration of relationships with the other religions?
Fundamentalism is so frequently used as a negative one could form the opinion that it was in fact a negative. Is "I am the way, the only way" not the most fundemental statement of all. "Me - period"
This is not to say one should become atagonistic and violent and repressive - that is another kind of fundamentalism. But truth is completely intolerant of lie Phat and there is no harm in stating the truth just because that causes others to scream "intolerant, exclusive, no proof". It is the power of the gospel to convert a man. It is for Christians to deliver it - be they shot as messagers or no. Whilst opposition is not a guarentee that one is preaching the gospel it is safe to say that unless there is opposition one is not preaching the gospel.
In other words, is Christian absolutism a self fullfilling prophecy of a sign of the last great battle?
I see more of the negative fundamentalism than I do the positive to be honest. I don't go looking for end times myself - its not an area of interest for me
More to this topic, is the Pope an agent of Satan also, in your opinion?
Of course. Roman Catholicism preachs a false gospel and he is the main man. But then I can be used so too - so I ain't condeming the guy. I don't know how much truth he (the Pope) has (and is suppressing) any more than I know the amount of truth the Dalai Lama has - and is supressing.
The Pope may be a Christian, he may not be. That is the key issue for him I think.

Re: a big mistake
The pope has done a big mistake and he no sorry i mean christians will know that when we assasinate hm
As the chief representitive of the ecumenical movement he certainly shot himself in the foot. Assassinating him would add injury to insult.
