Lately I've been wondering if women only buy toilet paper, and guys only buy take-out food? I'm sure that says something about the species. The truth shall never be revealed because there is no truth, just delusion. But then, with everything said...people buy water when it's free. I often wonder what Jesus would do with the Vatican Bank...you know, the biggest money lenders in the world?

And they bowed, "Yes your excellency." the window opened to a cheering crowd in st peter's square that immediately fell silent. what they say was beyond description. gone was the white robe, the scull cap and even the cross. instead they were confronted with a man in jeans and a t-shirt with the slogan "peace" printed on it. the pause was deafening. he laughed, surveyed the hundred of thousands in the crowd and spoke: "not what you expected...no i don't suppose so...i suppose you want an explanation..." the crowd was restless...some booed...but no one left... "the trappings of previous popes was vainglorious and have no place in the humility Jesus taught...Jesus as i was taught wore the same clothes as regular folks like you...Jesus was not a hypocrite." the crowd did not know what to do...some shouted obscenities..others clapped...more cried..some even fainted...everyone was confused... "the church is now yours...not mine and will no longer be in the hands of the cardinals...the next pope will be elected by you, the people..." the agitators in the crowd grew violent and fights broke out...no one was safe...the Swiss guard was not trained to handle such a mob...they called in the Rome police...who came in riot gear and tore into the crowd as lions in the circus.."please...calm down everyone...i am your pope and demand that you to keep the peace...in the name of Jesus...please..." his aid closed the window..."see what you have done?" and handed him the papal vestments. "i don't want them", he said. "this is not a church, it's a circus. things will change." he was dead before the new moon rose. kjg 138am 25 oct 2015 * Twenty-six things about me...
