Anyone get this creeping feeling...
That any attempts to prosecute the Pope for crime against humanity will fail completely? I believe there's legal justification for his arrest and trial, but now that only Dawkins' name is associated (and wrongly) with support for prosecuting the Pope. This is something organised for those denied justice by the Pope because of his concealment of paedophile priests, but I think the media's perpetuation of the lie that it is Dawkins who wishes to pursue the pope kind of damages any genuine case victims might have? And why are my sentences always so long? I really must shorten them. But yes, does anyone else feel that people might question the motive for arresting Ratzinger? From many people's perspectives it could be considered as another 'atheist' attack on a religious leader as opposed to a legitimate legal strife (which it is).
But other than that, doesn't all of this risk martyring the Pope in the eyes of many Catholics?

I agree. It'll just look like angry atheists with a grudge, even though he's a paedo-lover.

God did it This phenomenon is almost certainly due to the fact that the loquatiousness of your writing style is exacerbated by the tendency to delay sentence-final punctuation, without which any statement, whether affirmative or interrogative, could in theory become one of those interminable, agonizing and mind-raping constructions fraught with over-use of the passive voice, verbals, redundancies, obscure and remote references and such that tend to drive people mad to the point that they give up on making sense of your inane rambling and lack of editing, assume that you're never going to reach the conclusion of your statement (or statements), and conclude that the most efficient way of putting an end to your ham-fisted attempts at erudite posturing would be to simply mail a bomb to your address in hopes that you'll actually be the one to snip the bindings ever-so-eagerly, rip open the top flaps with dreams of a fantastic, yet unexpected, fabulous and life-altering reward inside, stick your face immediately within sufficient proximity to the explosive materials and carefully-crafted triggering device, only to be utterly - and mercifully briefly - surprised by the enigmatic device that gives you a moment's pause, and yet achieves its purpose in the split second between the terrible recognition of its true identity and the time that you might have been able to throw it clear, preventing mortal injuries to your brain matter and fulfilling the sender's dream of accomplishing a permanent solution to the dread of ever encountering anything written by you ever again in the future as long as he or she may live and continue to participate in any forum or thread in which you might be tempted to post such drivel that, despite past experiences that left him/her in a fit of pique, he or she may find irresistable enough to attempt another futile attempt at making sense of!
