I don't know if this opinion is going to be appreciated- I think it's much to do with media manipulating over masses. If you (or I) saw on tv the number of people that died all over the world, their age and how they were loved and didn't deserve it, and how bad their death were, you would have to cry for a lifetime.

Now that's MY kind of religion!
I'm not particularly religious either, but I don't think it's wrong to show a little respect to the millions of people for whom the death of the pope has had an impact in their lives. Sure, they wouldn't give a toss if one of us kicked the bucket but I do believe that to many people, Pope John Paul II meant much more to them than being just a public figure or indeed a religious leader.

They are the same God, just as they are the same God as in Judaism. The vast majority of adherents to all three of those faiths recognise that.
@all
Why is it that people feel the need to utter criticism in a thread created to show a measure of respect to a man who has died? If you do not believe in any religion then that is fine; if you did not personally like the man then that is fine too, but why exactly are you posting about it here? Presumably you would be fine with someoe who hated a loved one of your's coming to their funeral and criticising them? If you have nothing positive to say in a thread meant to show some respect to a fellow human being, then why not simply not post? Or do you feel that you must make a point so as to gain some sort of attention?
@sage
I find your posts most pathetic indeed. You initially make a post expressing a view you almost certainly know to be controversial and then you make a second post allegedly to explain the first. Here is a more likely scenario; your initial post was designed to grab you attention and when no one commented upon it publicly you decided to make another post. Quite why you feel the need to hijack a simple thread created by others to honour a man they believed in is beyond me. If you did not like the Pope then fine, but it seems somewhat crass to crow at another human being's death.

I actualy didnt know what to write when i read sage posts, so i didnt, but you have summed it up to a tee.
I am not a religeous man either, but i dont think that has any relevance to this thread, this thread was created to show respect to a public figure who has touched millions, if you dont have respect for this man dont taint this thread with your remarks start a new thread or keep them to yourself.

I feel very sorry for everyone that posted here showing no respect mainly to a man who died, and secondly to all the ones that share his beliefs.
Rest in Peace Karol.
And thank you for everything you have done for the WHOLE world.

Hear hear!
A little respect and maturity is in order, whatever one's beliefs or lack thereof.
RIP Pope John Paul II - a great man.

Im sorry if I appeared out of order, but my opinions and feelings stand thus:
1. I am sceptical. I do not condone believing in a god or religion in general, I accept people for who they are, not who they worship. If I met a Muslim, a Jew, a Bhuddist and a Christian, I would pay no attention to their religion, but their personality. However, religion can have a great influence on personality, what with the 10 commandments and their equivalent (there are similar laws to govern human behaviour in every religion).
2. I agree that the Pope was, and will be remembered as, a great man. I respect him for how he and his faith have helped so many people, and I am truly sorry to see him go. From previous posts, it may have come across that I was un-sympathetic (im not sure thats the right word, but people know what I mean) to this "cause", but I was merely trying to say that he was a great man, but also that if a major figure from another religion was to die that had as great an impact on the world, I would sorely miss them too.
I hope I haven't offended anyone with this, but I am posting as I respect the man, and what he stood for.
Nick
