Maybe you want to read a bit of Viktor Frankl, Kranz. Just to learn how totally wrong you are in that statement - as far as that statement has any meaning, that is.

from wikipedia:
"Viktor Emil Frankl, M.D., Ph.D., (March 26, 1905 - September 2, 1997) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy and Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy. His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published in 1946) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.

I just quoted Frankl to someone in an email the other day, about extremism.

Back to topic: If they believe that is Pope John Paul II, can I sell them a piece of tast with an image of the Pope to them?:hmm:

Maybe the pope wasn't waving, maybe he was trying to say something about purgatory!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

More likely that he just sent a homemade video from his current location.

Oh well if this turns them more to God then good for them. Not many religous ppl are willing to teach non belivers about God they're to high up on there pedestal to do that. To find out about God you either go out and get the bible and read it or you dont. Just dont count on any help cause they're too busy fighting wars over who is right :rotfl:

Now how is that supposed to work? :hmm:

If there really would be a god out there, I insist on him/her/it telling me him-/her-/itself, I do not want to hear about him/her/it from anybody else, or read about him/her/it in a tabloid-style scripture. Until that meeting only my yelling laughter, because that is what it all deserves - if it ever should be made stopping just in time before having killed us all.
