I say leave the headline. While the Pope's statement is open to doubt and debate, there can be no disagreement with the headline. Its truth is immutable and absolute.

*waves pope hand over keyboard*

brilliant

The Pope says Christians are the most persecuted religion. And anyone who disagrees with him shall be burned at the stake

So I lost out to a Godwin. Hitler always wins, dammit.

serial_crusher: you're right. There's no group of Christians that is more persecuted than Christians.

+1 internets

I disagree.

I believe the Bee Gees were the most persecuted Christian group.

Cyberluddite: Now that I see this has gone green, can some kindly modmin please fix the headline so it makes a bit more sense? It's supposed have said "Christians are the world's most persecuted Christian religious group," but I obviously had a bit of a brain fart there. Thanks.

/submitter

We should persecute people who don't preview headlines before submission I says ;)

serial_crusher: you're right. There's no group of Christians that is more persecuted than Christians.

You know, I disagree with the whole Christian persecution hype, but those charts are beyond stupid. Blacks mad up about 90% of South Africa but they were must definitely persecuted. Shockingly, majorities can be persecuted by minorities.

Predicting epic thread!

"Christians are the world's most persecuted Christian group..."

I've been scooped!

Atheists must react to this...

So wait...now the pope is lumping all Christians together. So he has no problem with Baptists and Lutherans?

Wow, I always knew the Church was the whore of Babylon, but I never knew how much cock she sucked. Hope all that mangravy doesn't stop the pope from spreading his dissenting poison to third-world nations and teaching them that God is love just not the kind of love which you can eat or keep warm.

Piss on the pope and his garbage.

The message reflected a pressing concern by Benedict in recent months for the plight of Christian minorities in parts of the world, especially in the Middle East.

Can a Muslim pray to Mecca Vatican?

Subby's gonna get crucified.

Guidette Frankentits: Can a Muslim pray to Mecca at the Vatican?

sheesh

You got Christianity in my Christianity!

FTA: "Sadly, the year now ending has again been marked by persecution, discrimination, terrible acts of violence and religious intolerance," Benedict lamented in the message for World Peace Day, celebrated by the church on Jan. 1, but traditionally released in advance.

Yes, cause they are SOO TOLERANT

Why do I have trouble drumming up sympathy for a Nazi billionaire?

Guidette Frankentits: Guidette Frankentits: Can a Muslim pray to Mecca at the Vatican?

sheesh

Now it makes sense, and the answer is "yes."

Personally, I find the divide between the shiates and the Shias more dramatic though I guess everyone does make a lot of fun of the Mormons.

Wow. The real quote is orders of magnitude dumber than the headline. So tell me, Mr. Pope, in your multi-thousand dollar slippers, fine silk robes, sitting on a golden throne, how are christians persecuted? I was just thinking to myself: "Self" I says "Why oh why don't we live in a world where christians can own land, vote, gain wealth and hold positions of power? Why aren't they allowed to openly go to their houses of worship, free from violence and abuse? Why God? WHY??!"

I thought the error was going to be 'Catholics were the most oppressed Christian group.' I would have believed either.

Is this the tautology club meeting?

I'm persecuting a Christian right now, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/On the internet, nobody knows you're a lion.

Piss on the pope and his garbage.

thanks for your contribution. now enjoy eternity with the other lost souls in my ignore dungeon.

Ponzholio: The most epic thread of all epic threads perhaps?

This thread will be the most epic that this thread has ever seen.

Guidette Frankentits: Guidette Frankentits: Can a Muslim pray to Mecca at the Vatican?

sheesh

FTFY:

Ponzholio: rudemix: Predicting epic thread!

The most epic thread of all epic threads perhaps?

It has the makings. Religion, Popery, persecution complex and one giant headline fark up.

xalres: Wow. The real quote is orders of magnitude dumber than the headline.

Wow, some one really failed to read the farking article.

Say, sport, why don't you ask your mom to come downstairs and read it to you?

/or are you subby's alt trying to make subby look less like a retard in comparison to you?

The Rev. Dawkins says that Atheists are the most oppressed Atheist group.

BIGNICKEL: Is this the tautology club meeting?

Are you seriously asking us a rhetorical question?

/ Seriously?

I agree. I routinely beat a Christian until his is frothing at the

Of all the christian groups, I hate the christian's the most.

This pope was ordained in the early fifties. What I'd really like to see, is this guy come clean on all the pedo priests he's been personally involved with -- just him -- shuffling these guys around from place to place. We're talking the early fifties, here. That's 60 years of shuffle! I bet there's more than just a bunch of them.
