Re: Phillippines.
The Vatican ought to be contributing at least a Billion Dollars, seeing the Majority of Phillipino,s are catholics and put money in the Popes collection boxes every week, they even pray to alleviate thier poverty as well.
Its only fair that the Catholic HQ donate huge amounts instead of unbelievers like me who are always helping people and yet i wont get past the Judgment seat for all the wrongs I did when i was roaming the World in search of Adventure, will i burn in Hell? for being so honest. Glenn

Re: Phillippines.
I agree Glenn, the Vatican should donate. As for you worrying about hell...why would you if you are an atheist?

Re: Phillippines.
Absolutely Gray -Marian, Im not realy worried about that place called Hell, because I know its not there, the shame of that situation in the Phillipines though is all those millions of poverty stricken People even before the great storm regularly attended the catholic churches and many put their very hard to get small change in the Collection box, and yet i havent seen the Vatican open its very wealthy Purse to assist these people.
Parts of Italy have now been deluged with a years rain dropped in a few hours with forcasts of more very eratic weather paterns supposed to be in the Medi area,s, all these storms and even the one that hit Queensland in (Anna Bligh, Premierstime) in Queensland cost billions to carry out repairs no matter where, the Tidal storm New York also a massive huge cost, and cost of lives in most cases, most people are generous but it defies the imagination why the Church so rich havent opened their Gold filled coffers. and yet ordinary unbelievers like me, ill get punished for this, will it be a Logging or put on Jankers for being truthful.

Doubt it Glenn, do not think there will be enough room down there for all of us.

Re: Phillippines.
I saw too much whilst on my educational tours around the Globe on Cargo ships, so being very wise i would never stand in front of a Group of Priests, you wouldnt want to be in a Trench with them either , the enemy fire would be preferable.
Many of us will according to the Gospel wind up in Purgotry Gentlemen , those that went to the more exotic ports will have even more explaining to do at the Judgement seat, i can well imagine that Deep voice of the El Supremo demanding all your explanations because he who knows everything would know of your Urgent visits to the Cleansing department of the Port hospitals having the Family Jewells checked over.
Even the Confession box wont save you . Father O, Sullivan and the Archbishop will check on every word muttered.
Id rather have arotten meal of a Hungry hogarths chef than front those people.
