Sorry for being so "un-metal" here. Being born and raised in a Catholic household, and being made to go through the entire communion / CCD / Confirmation as a kid, I have very mixed feelings on religion. As a kid, you are weak minded, and will tend to believe what is instilled into your head, until the day comes, and you question the things you were taught. Not questioning authority just to be a rebel and a jerk as a kid, but honest and serious questions on faith. There is so much about the Catholic religion I disagree with, and any organized religion for that matter. My personal beliefs are not relevant the moment, as that's nothing but a mess and a struggle in my mind, filled with little faith, and hope of something better. This being said, something needs to be said for a man, who had so much faith, that he dedicated his entire life to something he believed in, and to most people, even outside the catholic religion, Pope John Paul was one of the last symbols of decency, and respect in a religion and a time when things are so low. All we hear of is church scandal, and inappropriate behavior from the priests with alter boys. Catholics had one decent thing to look up to, and respect, and now he's gone. The man stood for morality, and good, and with my respect to the man for a life of dedication to nothing more then faith in his God and faith in his fellow man, rest in peace Pope John Paul, II.
