The popemobile is also bullet proof, to… erm… supplement the power of prayer.
Maybe someone prayed for it to be bullet proof and Big Papa had no say in it?
God helps those who help themselves! (In other words, he does nothing.)
Some men think they can outsmart me. Maybe. sniff Maybe. I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart boolet.
tbf some recent-ish Pope got shot in the ribs, so it’s probably to prevent that happening again
Could just pray not to be shot. No bullet proof glass necessary. Easy peasy. Am I christianing right?
You’re definitely being insufferable right.
When a religious person sees his logic used against himself.
you’re so insufferable
get fuckt
Nah, that was definitely a case of your typical Insufferable Internet Atheist.
Who said I was religious?
I’d say the undignified part is sitting atop a family car in a custom made box that simultaneously looks like he’s being exhibited to an alien species and he’s about to get gunged by Dave Benson Phillips.
Gay slurs are perfectly dignified, though. It’s definitely the car that cost him respect. (I know, different pope. Still, though.)
Same shit different pile.
Ok, lets call it the Pedomobile. We can get Pedobear bumper stickers for it.
i wanna know how the natively spanish-speaking pope learned the word “frociaggini”. like does anyone that’s not gay say that???
I know, different pope. Still, though.
Still what? You’re judging one person on the statements of a completely different person. How is that logical?
I mean they claim to communicate directly with God so they can be judged with similar logic
On June 6, 2007, a German man tried to jump into Benedict XVI’s uncovered popemobile as the pontiff began his general audience. The pope was not hurt and did not even appear to notice that the man had jumped over the protective barrier in the square and had grabbed onto the white Fiat popemobile as it passed. At least eight security officers were trailing the vehicle as it moved slowly through the square. They subsequently grabbed the man and wrestled him to the ground, before he was interrogated by Vatican police.
Bullet proof glass, security goons. Why all this when prayer would keep him safe? Perhaps the pope only pretends to believe prayer works? Christopher Hitchens said he met with top clergy several times and they openly discussed with him they knew it was all bullshit. When asked why they chose to preach known bullshit they said its what the parishioners expected and they felt it was mostly “good” bullshit.
Do you remember any source for Hitchens on that, like a book or speaking event? I’d enjoy hearing more about that specifically.
Sorry, Ive listened to so many hours of hitchens interviews I couldnt tell ya. Ive specifically heard it twice in two interviews/lectures. Usually its intertwined with him discussing the church inviting him to, and him acting something like an antagonist in debates within the clergy. Which is usually intertwined with criticism of mother theresa. Sorry I cant be more helpful. Good excuse to listen to lots o’Hitch however.
“Well, it’s all bullshit, but as long as I’m in power, you have nothing to worry about” -every religious leader ever
Why all this when prayer would keep him safe?
You’re thinking of American Baptists and Evangelicals. Catholics are a little bit more practical, in general. Like protecting pedos, instead of ejecting them. Very practical.
It was comparable to a PT Cruiser with an aquarium botched on. One could confuse it as part of a mobile dog wash fleet.
“There’s the pope sitting in the trailer bed of that pick up”
Is this the dignified option he wants? It’s certainly accurate.
I thought it was open on the sides because I guess one of the popes wanted real interaction or something. *Oh wait is the glass only halfway? Needs more jpeg.
looks to me like its half full of water, best for moisturizing lizard skin.
If I was driving around in a Fiat Homer, I wouldn’t worry too much about what people call it. Especially not if I was also wearing such a ridiculous hat…
I wish I could pull that hat off. You gotta actually live the pope life though. People can see through that shit too. “Why you wearing that hat? You ain’t no poper!”
People trying to pull the Pope’s hat off is one of the reasons why he rides around in the Popemobile.
Good news! (PDF warning)
DopeMobile…
Mr Show had an awesome opening sketch regarding the popemobile back in the day. They were way ahead of their time.
Just admit that you’ve always called this the Poopmobile.
The other applicable four letter word with P does not seem to make for a better P…-mobile
