Why? Well, for a start, islam is a young religion leeching off the bible...No one who believe in the bible can accept the twisted views that islam offers about Jesus.

That's okay. Christianity is just a slightly older young religion leeching off of Judaism. No one who has read the Hebrew Bible objectively can accept that Jesus "fulfilled prophecies" or "completed God's plan" or any of that nonsense.
Not that either of our posts have anything whatsoever to do with the OP, but there you go.edit on 13-2-2013 by Schkeptick because: (no reason given)

Yeah, like he was going to resign because of reasons...
Like any other church these days, it's all about the fact that the world is waking up...we no longer see them as an authority.
I hope every single power-drunk branch of Christianity goes down this year, and that the world finally after so many years of oppression treats them as the criminals they truly are.

Doesn't look closed to me???
Anyhow.. I had to go back and read the source again before i commented, and having been brought up Catholic and am now a Recovering Catholic (one day at a time folks) I find this whole thing amusing.
Everyone knew last year that Benedict was going to resign, he made no secrets about it, now he makes the announcement and everyone in their brother is clamoring in to see a conspiracy. Maybe he's just too old?

I find it very strange he quit on a "job" like that. He had it made until death, supposedly.
Why would he want to leave a paid healthcare/vacation/retirement plan when he is in his old age?

Priests (along with nuns, monks, etc) are taken care of by the church when they retire, just as Benedict will be. He's not going to get tossed out into the street or something.
