Excuse me if I am just Ignorant, but I in no way understand what you are trying to ask. I would like to, though, and encourage you to re-word and add to your original post to make it a little more readable/understandable.

I was raised Lutheran. I was sent to a Lutheran school k-8, and was forced to attend church upwards of 8 times a month. Once growing up and forming my own opinions and beliefs, I find the teachings a bit skewed.
If god loves all the people, why does he let so many good people suffer? Believers will tell you that it is to test your faith. Is being homeless without any idea of whether you may live or die truly a test of faith? Sounds just plain cruel to me.
...
Is the Muslim religion inherently evil? No. Extremest Muslims who are willing to hurt those that do not follow the same beliefs as them are evil.
Are catholic priests evil? After all, there does seem to be more pedophiles in that group than any other. No, a man who would allow himself to hurt a child, regardless of religion, is evil.
I'm tired of nationalities and or religious groups being blamed for the worlds problems. People die because of plane crashes and car wrecks but do we claim cars and airplanes are evil?
The world is full of non sense and people with Immorality above and beyond anything you can imagine.

Yes because aliens actually give a f^ck about us. Therefore they send one their own to be some religious leader in the hopes that some dead guy who was killed while being nailed to some wood 2 millenia ago. Yes aliens give a damn about us because somehow we're special in the universe. With billions of galaxies with billions of star systems in those galaxies somehow we're "special" because some asshole got nailed to some wood. And in some melancholic dillusion that some asshole in the clouds is going judge us like a cynical asshole, then he's to throw those who dont worship his bastard son just simply because he can, like the psychopath he is. And for what. all because two naked people ate a goddamn apple because a talking snake told them to. And that my friends is christianity or should i say religion in a nutshell. *end of rant*

Being the last Pope and being the Beast are two different things. Just because he may be one doesn't mean he has to be the other, only that the one may signal the rise of the other.
