I think the late Pope's policies on the Evil Empire where seminal and decisive, and his reaching out to other religions was excellent, including, inter alia, burying once and for all, the hatchet with the Jews, and opening the window a bit wider in a more official way regarding the Catholic theological issue of folks of good spirit being able to find their own way to the Catholic heaven based on the content of their character, even if outside the formal strictures of the Catholic Church itself. Of course, that latter bit pleases me not for myself; I think I'm returning to dust, and will "live" thereafter only a brief time in the memory of a few, before achieving total oblivion.
Yawn.

*** I think that's tragic and pretty fatalistic.
Then what was your purpose on this earth? What possible need is there for the Human being in the grand scheme of "mother nature"? This is another area where the 'evolution' theory fails. Mankind does not fit into the grand scheme. What was the cause and effect rational for green goo to randomly produce a male and female human? We aren't part of the food chain, except at the very top of it. We have a conciouness, we are aware. We don't have fur to keep us warm. We climed out of the goo pile completely defensless, unable to survive one night. Not knowing how to feed ourselves, or that we even had to, or what to eat. No, the human being didn't evolve from some lower lifeform, otherwize we would have developed defenses, fur, and long fangs to rip open the hides of our prey. We are unique, and completely at odds with the theory of how other animals evolved. Maybe God gave you a purpose to be here. The answer is in the bible. You should read it one day.
