[Renegade 13]

Getting back to the subject...

I really don't want to step on any toes here, or offend anyone, but...I really can't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, I'm not a religious person at all, so the whole idea of the pope being God's chosen representative on Earth...well since I'm not religious, you can already see what I think of that. He was just a man! And even if he was God's representative on Earth, he was still just a man. People would be focussing too much on the man, and not enough on what he's supposed to represent. People who don't even know him, crying? Why? Sure, it is sad anytime a good man dies, which I have no doubt the Pope was. But my great-grandfather was a good man too, did people around the world cry for him when he died?

I simply don't understand it. I hope no one gets offended that I've voiced my opinion on the subject. I wasn't sure if I should, but I believe everyone here is mature enough to respect other's opinions.
