Imagine how awesome it would be if the next pope called himself POPE VADER.

Other pope name suggestions;

Pope-purri

Pope Diddy

Pope Dragonscream

Pope X

I'd believe in the force if I saw Vader mind-choke a dude.

Our Dark father,
Who art in Coruscant,
hallowed be thy name;
Thy Star Destroyer come,
Thy force be done on Tatooine as it is in Kashyyk.
Give us this day our daily blue milk,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we force choke those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from Mustafar. Amen.

May the force be with you.

Vader is power, Luke is courage, Yoda/Obi-Wan Wisdom. Triforce of star wars right there.

The difference is the force is real and Vader can prove it.

I think it's odd that Ratzinger was both a Nazi Youth and a Catholic...

He was indoctrinated into BOTH faiths... accepted BOTH based on tenuous evidence at best - and about the same age.

And we're supposed to take is Catholicism seriously?

Either is Catholicism is a joke or he may still have pro-Nazi sympathies.

And I find it interesting that both organizations hate Jews. Most have been easy to jump from a Nazi to a Catholic after the war.

While the current pope is still alive, we should concentrate on the fact that he looks exactly like the Emperor.

I see no difference from a regular religious leader. Except maybe the cool mask.

[–]cavortingwebeasties 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Anyone know what church position/title gets to wear that awesome headpiece (not the Vader mask...) and garb? I need to know for an art project; I'm turning my favorite atheist memes into bronze sculptures but each piece starts with research. I can think of no one more qualified than this group to ask this...

edit: also, as the Father and the Son, does he have to cut his own hand off?
