Martin Luther Will Not Attend Pope's Funeral

so there!

from JoeUser Forums
It appears Martin Luther will not be attending Pope John Paul II's funeral.

I say good for him! They disagreed on so many things. Sure, they had some commonalities like being anti-abortion and finding a trip down the chocolate highway more abominable than a snowman, but so what? Obviously, Marty feels the old dude in the funny hat was just too wrong about too many other issues to pay his respects.

And why should he pay his respects? World leader to world leader? Religious man to religious man? Respected Christian to respected Christian -- even if one did like tutti-frutti while the other preferred vanilla?

Dang, when you think about it, Marty didn't have any business being there anyway. Damned publicity hound! Making a big show of not attending! These political hacks just can't stop for one second can they?

Extra points from me, Gene. I wouldn't have really gotten this had I not read another article first.



Insightful.

Ah, the hazards of the "answer article."

Maybe I should have thrown a link out there. But then where would my plausible deniablity go?

This is true.

But as anyone who saw Weekend at Bernie's knows, a little thing like that shouldn't stop a good get together.

Well anything's likely to get messy when you're living with a Diet of Wyrms............

The big sticking point to reconciliation is that he never paid to fill in the extra nail holes.

I hear he also stole a chalkboard from his classroom in the name of "separation of church and slate." Of course, that may just be anti-Protestant rumor mongering.

Talk about taking an anti-gluttony stance too far. Oh well, that's what they get for marrying nuns; no domestic skills.

No bedroom skills either, which led to the equally famous "he dicked of worms."

Scarier than two dead religious leaders, pointedly (and with the pope hat, that's really pointy,) NOT attending each others funerals?

They're coming to get you Bar-ba-ra...........

i'd buy a round of indulgences in hopes of being forgiven for all of the above, but even a jesuit would have a difficult time reasoning his way past the obvious fact we've indulged ourselves beyond redemption.

whan that aprill with his shoures soote
the droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
and bathed every veyne in swich licour
of which vertu engendred is the flour;
whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
inspired hath in every holt and heeth
tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
and smale foweles maken melodye,
that slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
thanne longen folk to pun upon blogges

I also hear that big-chinned fool Charles V will not be going either as he is planning to sack Rome on Friday.

As a faithful English Protestant, I admire Luther for his condemnation of the Peasants Revolt, splendid behaviour. The way he fired them up and then deserted the plebs is quite admirable.

Is that King Jr, or Sr?

OH!  You mean the original!

You know, I don't think that is old English. I just think Chaucer bath-ed every veyne to much in the swich licour......
