Pope's funeral last year cost the Vatican $9m........but they still made a $12.4m profit last year despite that!

I'm a total atheist, after being brought up a Catholic, but sometimes I do wish there was a God so that there was the possibility of a Jesus coming down to Earth and 'cleaning house'!

JESUS
"I go away for over 2,000 years and come back to find you've Incorporated!?!? You mofo's gonna get it!!!"

The Church is growing only in places where there are brown people, where they take money the people can't afford to give because they're having children the Church encourages them to have.

We bomb them.

Not exactly sure what my point is...

A few points:

I'm Jewish, and i'm far more of a spiritual person than a religious one. I also, essentially, have my double major in religious studies (one class short, which is a class i won't be taking), and i very much support the existance of the church, the vatican, and organized religion in general. that being said, what's the point of supporting anything if you can't have a sense of humor about it.
