Pope Ben-the-Dick: Charlatan and Hypocrite

Pope Ben-the-Dick spoke to the Vatican Diplomatic Corps today, in which he essentially censured countries around the world today for failing to adhere to the word and command of the roman catholic god – I would have written ‘christian god’ rather than ‘roman catholic god,’ but as the Pope has argued in the past, no other catholic or christian community is on the correct path of understanding and ethical living (see this post). This world is in this present state of discord and uncertainty because, according to this hater par excellence: people are ignoring god and their relationship with god; freedom of religion is being denied to many people around the world; and, abandoning roman catholic ethics for an ethics of secularism and selfishness (these latter two can be regarded under the rubric of human rights). Ben betrays his willful ignorance and ever-burning contempt for those who do not fall in line, and I hope to examine these issues I have just identified, making explicit reference to Ben’s speech (not relying on the reporting or accounts of others), in order to show just how much of a charlatan, hypocrite and ethically bankrupt individual this imp is.
