Saving The Rainforest Or "Saving" The Gays????

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay

evil.jpg

Who pissed in his Holy Water?

On Monday Pope Benedict equated protecting the rain forest from man to protecting man from gays.

Oh, yes he did!

In an address to the Curia, the Pope said, "(The Church) should also protect man from the destruction of himself. A sort of ecology of man is needed. The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less" describing anything outside of a traditional hetero relationship as "a destruction of God's work."

Inhaling too much incense? Dumb? Or just plain evil?

Sounds like something that, you know, the other guy in the Bible might have said.

    Perez, I think you've inhaled too much yourself



  10. 10

    I am a Catholic, and this Pope makes it very difficult to continue being a Catholic. Let's not forget he is a Nazi and in my eyes always will be one. He is the worse thing to happen to the Catholic Church. If he wants to continually talk about non-secular things then the church should start to pay taxes on the millions of dollars it has.



  11. 11

    The reality is this: Religion is the biggest scam ever played upon the people of this planet. We are all children of God/Spirit/Universe…whatever you want to call it. What the Pope says means nothing to me. He is no closer to talking to God than we are. What he says doesn't mean a damn thing. Think for yourselves. All people deserve to be treated with equality and compassion.



  12. 12

    The pope is pimpin' the bling. I would not be the dumb person who stole from Paris Hilton. If I would rob anyone, it would be the pope.



  13. 13

    Aarrghhh… whatever puto.



  14. 14

    lol that is random..rainforests and gays..totally the same thing? lots of wood i guess…

    Re: LaDiva says smell yo dick… – I CAN'T SAY OR MARIO WILL DEEM IT "INAPPROPRIATE"! ;) BUT, I CAN TELL YOU A LOT OF HOT MONKEY LOVE WAS INVOLVED! jajaja



  21. 21

    I agree with Animlovr - Religion is what God/Jesus preached. Religion is what rich men created to keep things in their favor politically. If it were about love and acceptance (as Jesus preached) the Inquisition and bs such as what the Pope says above would not exist. Yes, think for yourselves people. If it aint about love and acceptance, it aint what God/Jesus taught.



  22. 22

    CORRECTION: I agree with Animlovr - Religion is NOT what God/Jesus preached. Religion is what rich men created to keep things in their favor politically. If it were about love and acceptance (as Jesus preached) the Inquisition and bs such as what the Pope says above would not exist. Yes, think for yourselves people. If it aint about love and acceptance, it aint what God/Jesus taught.



  23. 23

    As someone who was raised Catholic and attended a Catholic School for 8 years, this doesn't come as a suprise at all. THE POPE IS EVIL and so are his sexist & homophobic followers. Doesn't the "good book" say "love thy neighbo as thy self"?? Yet, if a neighbor is gay or of another religion, they are less of person??? WAKE UP AND SMELL THE NEW CENTURY!!



  24. 24

    Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – ahhha ese culo podrido estaba bailando salsa haaa….



  25. 25

    God made me and I am gay and fabulous so I don't know what he is talking about.



  26. 26

    Although I am not Catholic (I am Christian)…he is ABSOLUTELY right. So many people are so lost in the ways of the Lord nowadays…yourself included Perez. =(



  27. 27

    Re: Animlovr
    exactly!!!



  28. 28

    condeming the pope? seriously. i used to love this blog.



  29. 29

    the pope is full of shit



  30. 30

    God bless the Pope. Gays: Pay attention to this man's words..you may have been abused or had a rough beginning but it doesn't mean you have to be gay. It is WRONG to be gay.



  31. 31

    Re: jenmcn – ok if ur Catholic, then get ur ass to Confession rite now for sacrilege. to say that this Pope is the worst is truly ignorant of you..we've had over 200 Popes so unless you can go down the list and say wht each pope has done, i dont think ur in any position to say that. As a proud and devoted Catholic i do agree that some of his methods are a bit…questionable….but just like God he has a reason for what he is doing.it's not easy doing what he does, and its negative people like you that make it harder. i dont think you could get up and Govern one of the largest Religions in the world, now could you?

    Re: *_*B*_*
    Ok..where in the Bible does it say if ur neighbor is gay or another religion, that they are less of a person??? seriously as a Catholic u should be defending your Religion, as it is one of the most controversial ones out there!

  32. l12w says – reply to this


    32

    Since when does it make someone "dumb" or "evil" to practice their well-recognized, ancient religion? You want people to respect your beliefs, then you should respect theirs. To each his own. Everyone would be better off this way, especially those who judge others - which is exactly what you are doing.



  33. 33

    You are so intolerant. Anybody who disagrees with you is 'Inhaling too much incense? Dumb? Or just plain evil?'

    Really?

    How about a sincere disagreement. He's not saying he hates gays. He is saying he thinks, based on his faith, that it is destructive to the union of man and woman….which God desires for us.

    That's not MY opinion either. It's HIS. And there's nothing evil or nasty or hateful about it.

    Straight people aren't the only people who have to be tolerant. You do too. Or else you might as well point that finger back at yourself.



  34. 34

    Re: IUsedToLoveYouButNowYouAreAManWhore – Oh yeah? You really think YOU said that. That was said long before your time, honey. And it's simplistic B.S.



  35. 35

    if I ran into
    the pope in the
    woods, I would run
    for the hills coz he looks
    like he came out of hell..he
    scarez me to death and so do
    other religiouz freakz, they r pervertz.



  36. 36

    The homos like to say that Jesus was tolerant, he hung out with prostitutes, etc. But guess what, they didn't stay prostitutes after they met Him.
    You MUST TURN from your SIN! Not continue in it.
    If you're predisposed to homosexulity or born with homo tendencies that doesn't mean you giver in to it.
    As a hetero I'm pre-disposed to bang every sexy babe I meet. But being married I fight against it.



  37. 37

    Re: IUsedToLoveYouButNowYouAreAManWhore

    itz a
    conzpiracy right from
    the start,,read the history
    books..all for political control of the people.
    I hate that shit.
    morning people.



  38. 38

    Ya gotta love those old little out of touch men they keep putting in the robes every few years.



  39. 39

    Well, Perez, I'm very sorry to have to say this, but I believe that this will be my last visit to your website. I am very tolerant of homosexuality and those who practice that lifestyle, but I cannot tolerate those who bash the Holy Father, who is Jesus' regent here on this planet. For those Catholics who bash the Pope, how can you so blindly turn your back on his infallibility?



  40. 40

    All of the major religions are based on procreation i.e. having babies. Since homosexuals cannot produce their own offspring, its not considered good for mankind. Surely fags have helped the evolution of mankind of multiple levels. Their contribution is amazing - from art to politics etc, I mean for fuck sakes, homosexuals are human after all. But biologically speaking homosexuality could be natures way of saying "your genetic line ends here". Since homosexuals cannot have offspring on their own, in a sense they are keeping our population under control (war helps too). This is the kind of thing that freaks Religion out - if beautiful men don't like women, they won't make babies. No babies - no one to pass down the Religion to.



  41. 41

    Hmm…drawing devil horns on the pope?

    Seems wrong, even for my standards.



  42. 42

    I am LOLing at how brainwashed and hateful you "religious" commenters are. You are so judgmental and intolerant. God will treat you the same way you treat other people when your time comes. Don't forget:

    NON-Judgement Day is Near

    ….so start thinking along the lines of love and acceptance, if that's how you want to be treated. The Golden Rule, right?



  43. 43

    Re: MISSKJK_8408 – I stand corrected, people like you are the worst thing to happen to the Catholic Church. You think going in to a confessional makes all your nasty comments and behavior in life go away. Dreamer keep dreaming. I could probably tell you more about previous popes than you, but considering I don't live in the past, I prefer to talk about this one. That being said, yes it's a difficult job which is why I would rather have a different person doing it.



  44. 44

    Re: Conch606 – Another well stated point of view.



  45. 45

    The early church is why the masses are still asses.



  46. 46

    I'm not in the habit of taking morality tips from pedophile-protecting, Hitler Youth drag queens.



  47. 47

    I think the point has been fairly well made, the first commandment the god gave man was to be fruitful and multiply. Homosexuality goes against the whole multiplication part. If everyone embraced homosexuality the human race would end in a generation.



  48. 48

    Re: Nemesisesq – People don't "embrace" their sexuality. It isn't a choice, unlike the foolishness that we call "religion," which is clearly a choice.

    And as for you silly comment about God commanding people to be fruitful having anything to do with being gay, I guess we should dissolve the marriages of people who don't (or can't) have children. After all, they are disobeying your imaginary friend in the sky!



  49. 49

    First Rick Warren saying being gay is like Child molestation, and now the dumb ass pope saying Gay is like protecting the rainforest. What, are gays the new Jews. I heard gay is the new black. It's just another thing a white male needs to hate on to make himself superior. What's next, the gay holocust. I thought it was AIDS, but obvious that wasn't enough.



  50. 50

    This is wrong…..you don't have to agree with him and can have your own opinion but at least have some respect.



  51. 51

    Hey Pope Been-A-Dick, You and your "church" promote, condone and reward child sexual abuse by your priests. Why don't you clean out your own house? The more I hear from the christians and the catholics the more I dispise them! Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who will ALL burn in hell! Anyone notice the resemblence of Pope Been-A-Dick to Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars? Both PURE EVIL!



  52. 52

    i have a hard time believing this when the quotation is interrupted by your own views…even if there is a distinct possibility it could be true

    and enough with the german on a balcony stuff…its a pain in the ass



  53. 53

    I'm catholic and I hear gay people talking about straight people being narrow minded for not accepting you and well it goes both ways. You're narrow minded for not understanding our religion. Respect it! cuz not everybody on earth is going to like you. so accept it and move on! youre not catholic anyway so why should you care so much about it, perez? hypocrit!



  54. 54

    Re: heyitsbrenda – Hey Brenda, you have to EARN respect to get respect. Spouting your hatred does not EARN respect. Just because someone is given a title doesn't mean they automatically get respect.



  55. 55

    Re: Conch606 – Hey DUMBASS, we can have children on our own we just go about it by a different means, i.e. surrogassy. But that too the "church" has a problem with. What about infertile couples?! Think before you speak useless pathetic creature!



  56. 56

    Why do you have to push your opinion on to everybody else? And when you do, you have to make nasty remarks. If you were a strong person you wouldn't need to be so mean. You are entitled to your opinion but I don't see the Pope making nasty personal remarks about you. You are rude and crass and you are the reason people like me dislike your kind of person. I think you are a bitch, honestly. The Pope is a holy man. The only "other person" in the Bible I can think of that he is like is Abraham? Jesus? Paul? Godly men. He is compassionate and wants the best for humanity and you are putting him down. Do you want the best for humanity? You don't act like it when you only see the worst in people.



  57. 57

    His opinion Fat Fuck



  58. 58

    And a further point, the vast majority of the gay couples I know are wonderful parents much better than most of the hetero couples who produce their bastard children from one night stands and have babies one right after the other that they can't care for.



  59. 59

    Re: eliwire – Yeah eliwire…lots of "godly" men supported Hitler, lots of "godly" men support pedophilic priests, lots of "godly" men support the persocution of people who don't have the same beliefs as them. Wow if that's an example of being "godly" I'm glad I'm not.



  60. 60

    The bible is a bunch of bullshit made up stories to keep people in line. That's right Mr. Pope..your people are molesting young boys because of your God's law..



  61. 61

    Re: SeanMLT – Amen to that!!



  62. 62

    Re: jenmcn – Y am i the worst thing thats happened to the Catholic Church? Cus ibelieve in its practices unlike all those other lukewarm Catholics out there?



  63. 63

    The same person that pissed in your mothers mouth and daddys asshole. That's who.



  64. 64

    Re: guilty of being white – No, God has nothing to do with the filth mankind loves to do. Leave God out of it.



  65. 65

    THIS SORRY COCKSUCKER MOTHERFUKKER OUGHTA PROTECT LITTLE BOYS FROM PEDOPHILE PRIESTS, THE NAZI BASTARD!!!!!



  66. 66

    He's the leader of Catholicism on Earth.

    It's his job to pick what he likes from Vatican 1, Vatican 2, and the Bible.



  67. 67

    DOESN'T THAT JUST SAY IT ALL, DARLINGS???



  68. 68

    Re: SeanMLT
    Obviously homosexuals can pay someone to have their children for them - or pay to have someone impregnate them. But still that means having to find someone of the opposite sex to make it happen. I'm the child of a homosexual - they didn't pay to have me, but back in the day pretending to be straight was the only way to survive. If my mother had followed her true heart, I wouldn't be here. I'm sure millions of us wouldn't be here.

    My point was more from the biological stance not a social stance.



  69. 69

    Ooooh look at his little fur-trimmed cape! I guess the Catholics aren't animal-friendly :P How soon ’til he ends up on PETA's shit-list, (never mind Santa's)?



  70. 70

    Re: Conch606 – So you call your own parent a "fag". Wow that's respectful! Also if being a homosexual is "god's way of telling us your genetic line ends here" that means your gay parent should not have pro-created and maybe you should take that as a hint to end your genetic line NOW!



  71. 71

    btw: I never pay attention to any stupid shit the Catholics or their representative say. Those people are always so obnoxiously bigoted, racist, etc. They don't even follow the ideals set down in their OWN bible so they can go fucking preach to themselves for starters. Maybe one day it'll eventually sink in.



  72. 72

    This is why people who are Catholic who do not believe in bigotry should leave the church.



  73. 73

    If God wanted homosexuals he'd have created Adam and Steve….

    Re: SeanMLT
    Who said anything about God? Anyway SeanMLT, sounds like you need a good man or woman in your life. That's if someone's open enough to love a hater like you. Takes all kinds I guess…



  77. 77

    Why some people are worry about not more babies. How stupid, more babies is one of the things that this world don't need the most. Women always are getting pregnant buy whoever, hospitals don't know what to do with some many deliviring babies at the same time. Gays and other hetero people who decide not have children help this planet a great deal !!!!!!!!!

    COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER! Well said, I couldn't agree more!!

    Somehow, since your beliefs are far more offensive than the Roman Church, I'll have to side with the Nazi Pope on this one.

    Re: jenmcn – yeah, sure, all germans are nazis ;)
    oh boy, i think all americans, or from whatever country you are are racists.



  82. 82

    It's probably all three, plus one more thing: he's a self-loathing gay man himself. Seriously, what straight man would vow to be celebate? That's right: none. The only reason why most priests become priests is that they know they're gay but they have been brainwashed into thinking there is something too terribly wrong with that, so they decide to be with nobody….. except the occasionalimpressionable altar boy. yep, I went there.



  83. 83

    Re: Big Black Dick – ROFLMAO - best.comment.ever.



  84. 84

    Re: epic
    I never said all Germans are Nazi's. Read up on this Pope, he was in the Nazi youth organization. There are pictures out there of him in his little uniform. I have spent many years living in Germany and do not believe them all to be Nazi's thank you very much.



  85. 85

    Did you smoke some weed Perez? The destruction of man can be many things from drug-use, to promiscuous sex..etc Your "the Pope says man should be protected from gays" hysteria is laughable. Get a life Perez. Y siendo Cubano debes de tener verguenza en atacar a el papa Benedicto, alguien que sobrevivio los Natzi's y sabe lo que es la propaganda de odio. Tu solo estas sembrando tu propaganda de mentiras… For shame.



  86. 86

    Fucken hell! Your allowed to call people 'gay face' and shit that's dissing gay's, so your 'Inhaling too much incense? Dumb? Or just plain evil?'. My guess is dumb.



  87. 87

    Re: l12w – Just because a religion is "ancient" (ha!) doesn't protect it from accusations of being evil - satanists have been around for a long time, and I doubt you would defend them against such accusations.



  88. 88

    Re: Conch606 – Tell Clay Aiken, Melissa Etheridge's partner, Ricky Martin and millions of others that gays can't have kids of their own. As a reader of this site, I can't believe you couldn't see through that argument ;-)



  89. 89

    Re: cakester – I sincerely believe that gays will leave Catholics and Mormons alone to despise gays WHEN the Catholics and Mormons stop trying to legislate their hate so that everyone, no matter their religion, has to follow it.



  90. 90

    Oh yes HE did!? Nah, more like: Oh yes SHE did!!!



  91. 91

    You know, Perez, not believing in gay marriage does not make someone evil, it just means that they do not believe in gay marriage, and in the Pope's case, it's because it's against his religious beliefs. You must stop painting people in this broad brushstroke because it makes you appear histronic, and takes away from your overall argument.



  92. 92

    infalibility????
    ummm..NO!



  93. 93

    Perez arent you catholic? didnt you go to a jesuit highschool? you should know the church says IN the catechism that gays deserve to be treated with LOVE and RESPECT. look it up.

    nowhere in that quote did i feel any offensive speech.



  94. 94

    it's not the homosexuals themselves Perez. It's Homosexuality. there lies the difference.



  95. 95

    Re: Animlovr
    i just LOVE how people think they don't have to do anything for God's love. You can't just be a bitch like u are, u've got to work for it

    fuck u perez it aint all about you



  97. 97

    AMEN Fuck you Perez, don't be talking shit about the Pope. I hope YOU go to hell.



  98. 98

    Re: kansasmama – See ya bitch! The poop is nothing more than ANOTHER hate monger who needs to clean his OWN house before trying to take the "white glove" to others. After being convent school raised, I was still able to drop all that BULLSHIT the catholic church tried to brainwash me with. "Holy Father"? Just a fucking asshole, in a dress no less!



  99. 99

    Drawing horns on the Pope? That's a straight (no pun intended) ticket to hell!



  100. 100

    Well Perez if you look at the Catholic Church's core beliefs you will find that it is believed that being homosexual is a choice and therefore a sin. So that is why the Pope wants to "protect" other men. Not like you have to agree with it, but he is expressing an opinion just like you and me.
