Head of Greece's Orthodox Church dies
AP - 3 minutes ago

ATHENS, Greece - Greece's Orthodox Church leader, Archbishop Christodoulos, who eased centuries of tension with the Vatican but angered liberal critics who viewed him as an attention-seeking reactionary, died Monday at his home of cancer, church officials said. He was 69.

Somewhere the Pope is shitting his pants. Does he wear pants? Well, if not, he's shitting a man-dress.

8. Yeah, now why would God do that? Eh?
Having a little fun on his day off now?

Is he playing golf with Gerald Ford, and hit the "church leader" button by accident on his Mobile God Command Center/golf cart?

9. What's with all the religious leaders dying all of a sudden?
The Patriarch of Constantinople, the Prophet of the Mormon Church... who's next?

12. It's the begining of the "One World Religion" movement
you've all been hearing about. Merely removing the "uncooperative" players...

13. God pressed the "Smite" button by accident
He thought it didn't take, so he pressed it again. "DivineFate™ 4.0 for Windows XP™" lags sometimes. And the last time he hit the "Undo" button was in 33 AD!

14. The auto-repeat setting was a little touchy too: the leader of the Mormon church just died.

15. Is it just me, or does it seem like there's a mass exodus going on?
It just seems like people are dying at very high rates these days, y'know? I sort of wonder if people are getting out of Dodge in anticipation of something... not intentionally mind you, at least not consciously.

Just seems too weird.

The odd thing is the demographic that these deaths *are not* coming from... if you catch my drift (hint: the White House)
