I refuse to watch "Kingdom of Heaven". It looks like it may be a movie I'd enjoy, but I refuse to watch a movie that glorifies the crusades. The crusades are one of the many reasons I don't like organized religion.
On NPR this morning they were talking about how Pope Benedict was thinking of skipping the five year waiting period before making Pope John Paul a saint. I find this amusing, because my dad took me to watch him drive by in one of his parades. I guess this'll mean I've seen a real live saint. (Assuming, of course, that I believed in saints.) I wonder if that makes my pope button a holy relic? ;)

a "real live saint" huh? Isn't that an oxymoron or something?
Not an oxymoron... I saw him when he was alive, and he's the person being made a saint. Of course, I think most of the "saint" thing is a load of hooey... like the miracles... um, I think I better stop before I offend *too* many people.
Hmmm... interesting comment on KoH. Maybe I'll let myself borrow it from the library... so I'm not encouraging the Inaccurate Romp Through History pushers too much. ;)
