Pope John Paul II just died. Those who know me know that I'm not a Catholic or even Christian. For that matter, I'm most of the time, anti-Christianity. Despite the fact, I have been fascinated by the all the hypes that surround his death. I cannot think of any one person whose expected death attracts so much attention from all over the world. For the last day or two, all you see on the TV is about the Pope, his life, his impending death and what that means to Catholicism and the rest of the world.
As I said before, I'm not religious. I'm an atheist. I really don't care what would happen to the Christianity, Catholicism or any other religions. As far as I'm concerned, religions are waste of huge resources that humanity foolishly elected to commit. I am fascinated, however, WHY people are 'addicted' to supreme beings. Take the Pope for once: Being the Pope, he must have studied his religion to death (no pun intended). I would think that he would have reached a conclusion that religions are nothing but bullshit. Yet, he continued to attempt to lead the whole world into this nonsense. Maybe these religious stories are as good as "Matrix" movies: You know that it's just a story, but it COULD be true. Or maybe he has some ulterior motive outside his religion. Maybe he knows something that most of us don't.
Fascinating, I think.
