Me too! I love the bit where he collects up the ponies and knows them all by name.

I cried when I read the last page...
Never was moved by any other story....
But when Frodo got onto the ship to sail away.....it got me.

Yes, it's very moving.
The movers and shakers in the cause of good can't live for ever.
One hopes the next pope will be a man for the people not the Church.

Popes have no power....
They've sold out, to the Jews.
They don't even dare to mention who actually killed their messiah...

Now they are mere figureheads.
Like the President of the US.

That is categorically not true!

No, you are more interested in a imaginary Being, that is so in love with you, that it believes you deserve to be preserved for an eternity.
Your selflessness is quite selfish.
You are so arrogant you believe the entire cosmos was created for you...YOU!!!
What the fuck, man.

Your compassion requires a threat and a promise.....otherwise you don't see the point.
You are a classic hypocrite.

Why do you think that about yourself? Who, what did that to you?

That is definitely true.

They still managed to pretty much completely corrupt Abraham's original idea:

There is just one God and that is not the Roman emperor.

In fact, in a sense, it doesn't even matter if God exists or not. The real idea behind it is that all the purportedly Holy Japanese baboons are fake.

Monotheism is much more a statement about what you do not believe than about what you do believe. It is also meant to be an incredibly attractive political viewpoint.

What did the Christians turn it into?

Give to the Holy hominid from Palestine what belongs to this hominid and to the Holy ruling baboon of the Roman empire what belongs to that baboon.

So, the Christians have repurposed Abraham's original idea into a manipulative tool to extract taxes out of the illiterate peasantry.

Christianity is a travesty at the expense of the imbeciles who believe in it.

Pay half of your income to the ruling mafia and give half of your assets to an adulterous former no-fault spouse.

What a despicable scam!

Pope Francis worked untiringly until the day before he died, on behalf of the poor and marginalised of the world. His mercy extended to granting an audience to Vance at a time when he himself was physically exhausted, twenty four hours before he died.

Have you any moral principles?

Nonsense. I wish you would use your energies for talking sense. You sound like a rebellious adolescent.

And you my dear, are naive.
Popes have no power.....not for a long time.
Presidents are figureheads, especially those following Kennedy's assassination and Nixon's impeachment.

They represent their handlers, those that fund them and promote them.....their groomers.
Biden made it obvious to all, except the naive, like you.
He was a brain-dead man, of minimum intellect, even in his youth, but he was a loyal Zionist.
Bush jr. is a complete moron, yet he was placed in office, because he was easily manipulate.

Trump is a narcissistic blowhard, but he was groomed by Cohn, and Adler is his handler....and he's done the Zionist bidding like a good puppet.

Grow up.....This isn't Middle Earth.

Tom Bombadil is indeed a worthy favourite. His part was omitted from the films, for understandable but hardly forgivable reasons

Christians easily confuse gullibility with morality. Define "moral principles". We will soon hit a contradiction. You have learned to accept and even cherish inconsistency and lack of deductive closure. I am reasonably sure that you are not even aware of that.

That’ll be a “no”, then.

I noticed in the other thread (with you obsession over Christianity - attempting to deny anything reasonable to it that you refused to address this:

God knows that I will never subscribe to the fake divinity of a hominid and his single mother.

But "Islam", at least a thousand years after the Torah, and 666 years after Christ - via Mohammed still claims to be an Abrahmic religion - thus stemming from Judaism - where GOD stated He created man in his own image (a man)

..irony or wot?

I prefer the Quran's take on the matter:

Qur'an 42:11. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

In Islam, God does not look like a man.

From 28 years of extremely personal experience of this GOD entity - GOD is PANTHEISTIC in nature - ALL reality IS GOD.

My analysis brings me to believe that it (its intelligence operates at or below the Planck scale) <-- so in that sense, no GOD is not a man.

However, GOD can form, incarnate into a man - as IT - GOD did via Jesus the Christ.

Yes, agreed.

No, rejected.

God does not incarnate as a man.

Otherwise, every baboon and its little sister can claim that they are God incarnate. That is exactly what the emperor of Japan kept doing until the Americans under McArthur in 1945 told him to cut the crap, which he did.

The principle of a God incarnate is so incredibly prone to abuse that it must be rejected. That is exactly what Judaism and Islam wisely do. Only Christians refuse to accept some sanity in the matter. The Christian argument always revolves around bullshit similar to:

Since God is omnipotent, he can turn 2+2 into 5 if he chooses to do so.

This argument will allow a Christian to argue that 2+2=5 because the power of God has in this case overruled the laws of arithmetic.
