Nice choice of photoshopped picture - made me LOL. A lot. *waits for Mr Ian "I want Thatcher's babies" Bell to arrive...*tks said:
This is both a genuine question and me trying to play devil's avacado... To those of you who say you're happy for a head of state and/or religious leader to come and take an interest in your country.... Firstly, how do you feel about that being funded, in part at least, by your hard-earned tax money? Secondly, would that welcome be extended to other heads of state and religious leaders? What about Ali al-Sistani, one of the world's most senior Muslims? What about some complete bastard like Robert Mugabe, or some other twat like Kim Jong-il?
Just interested.
For what its worth, I'm not too fussed. If the Pope (or whoever - same goes for other 'dignitaries') wants to come for a holiday to the UK then fair play. However, I really don't agree with it being funded by tax money. Especially as the country is already skint. Plus, why go to such a crap selection of places? He should've aimed to get a few creds while he was over here too.

Nobody is trying to force feed you religion...
Wouldn't you also speak highly of something you believe in? It could be anything, it doesn't necessarily have to be about religion.
Like, for example, 3 wheeled ATV's are not any more dangerous than 4 wheeled ATV's, and their ban was unfair.
Or how real photographers shouldn't use film, due to somewhat fake-like qualities, and so on and so forth.

Ratzinger is a moron who seems to think that a belief in a god is a prerequisite for ethics. He's made some comments in the last few days that are offensive to atheists, and whilst I'm normally laid back enough to just ignore them, the fact that the British taxpayer is paying for him to come over here and spread said load of bollocks equating atheism and Nazism does anger me.

He criticised our equality laws.
He comes here partially using tax payers money.
And then he causes road closures.
Want him and his sick horrendous religion of child fiddlers to **** off.

Yep, it is "irksome".
I mentioned before, it shouldn't really be paid for by usm unless he's willing to have "political meetings" to discuss his "states" awful policies which are causing deaths and compounding poverty problems of millions in the world.
Then the fact he was in the Hitler Youth kind of suggests that Catholicism and Nazism aren't mutually exclusive. Hitler certainly believed in God and many a "good Nazi" was also undoubtedly a "good Christian".
If atheism is such an abhorrent state of mind, why is it the prisons aren't full of atheists and have zero "believers"? Stafford prison has a large church, which kind of says to me "religion aint working"...
