Do you believe the pope has the power to bless?
We see him raising his hand and blessing all around him, including matter. What do you make of it? No gods with indirect messages to me. Bookmark/Search this post with: |

Absolutely, the Pope has the power to bless.
So do you. So do I. The power to bless isn't much, as blessing is just as powerful as prayer. It's completely impotent.
"Yes, I seriously believe that consciousness is a product of a natural process. I find that the neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers who proceed from that premise are the ones who are actually making useful contributions to our understanding of the mind." - PZ Myers
Then why doesn’t he keep blessing day and night, 24/7 and convert this world into paradise?!… Something is amiss!…

You should recognize it as a egotistical scam to get money, power and undue respect.

I'll bless you.
...for a price.
The one and only power The Popes have over me, is that the sight of Popes, their gesticulations, smoke, dress, and feeble-minded utterances have all consistently made me laugh.
I have the power to vocally utter, "I can fart a Lamborghini out of my ass". That doesn't mean I can litterally do that.
"Blessing" anything is an exercise in futility, like if you were to attempt to wipe your ass with air. You could try that but it would be the same as if you didnt wipe your ass at all.

Why shouldn't we blindly respect an organization who's dictator acts as if he has a medical degree in sex organs, threatens politicians in countries he doesn't live, and pretends that high school drivers ed need him to learn that road rage is bad.
What should we expect from a mafia who took hundreds of years to say, "my bad" when Galelio pointed out their cosmic error.
You have a problem respecting that? You are a killjoy.

Do you think I will let a little pesky thing like reality stop me from making absurd claims?
YOU just farted a Lamborghini out of your ass, you just didn't see it or realize it. By proxy of naked assertion in the words of Captian Picard, "Make it so Number 1".
