Title: Nominate Fictional Characters for Pope
Post by: JohnE on March 05, 2013, 04:48:20 pm
I nominate The Doctor

• He has more insight into the nature of the universe than anyone on Earth
• He once faced down and defeated Satan himself
• He's been saving mankind for 50 years anyway
• Papal hat replaced with fez

I nominate Genevieve G. Rota for Pope, because even an insane female real-estate agent from Miami has to be better than any Cardinal.

I nominate Pedobear. At least he'd be honest.

I nominate Celestia.  Why not have a goddess of the sun leading such a huge religion?

I nominate Stephen Colbert.*

*And when I say that I mean his television persona, which is essentially a fictional character and separate from Stephen Colbert the real human being.

I nominate Dalboz of Zork: Grand Inquisitor fame. After all, what better place for the pope than stuffed inside a lantern?

"It's not about making sense. It's about believing in something, and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you."

Edward Elric, because why not? First agnostic pope.

Edward Elric, because why not? First agnostic pope.

I thought he was an atheist? Or is that just in the 2003 anime?

Anyway, I nominate the asshole persona that Penn adopts when confronting people over their religious/supernatural beliefs.

I too would like to nominate Burgess Meredith. But as Mickey from the Rocky movies. I've always thought papal decrees would be worth it more if what was being decreed was people were bums or wrecking machines.

I seem to remember his using the word "agnostic" in the manga (which, admittedly, I've only read a bit of - though he was an atheist in the first anime, yes, and I'm actually much more familiar with that version.), doesn't really matter though, he'd be the first nonreligious pope. Also alchemy could look like miracles. See the first episode.

Post by: Flying Mint Bunny! on March 21, 2013, 04:56:08 pm
I nominate the grandad from the werthers originals adverts.

He always had a creepy child molester vibe, so I think he would fit right in.

Post by: MadmanJohnson on June 15, 2013, 01:54:49 pm
I'm surprised nobody's nominated him so....Optimus Prime! Seriously, who better to run a religion of peace than him?
Title: Re: Nominate Fictional Characters for Pope
Post by: Sigmaleph on June 15, 2013, 02:32:01 pm
I nominate Light Yagami. He's already head of his own religion (admittedly, as god rather than high priest, but it's still relevant experience), and he'll probably be tough on child molesters.
Title: Re: Nominate Fictional Characters for Pope
Post by: Feral Dog on June 15, 2013, 10:06:06 pm
I nominate Jhalm, Captain of the Veiled, from Digger. Head of an organization that functions as devotees of ALL the gods, and formal to the point of using "forthwith" in a sentence. A sneaky little bastard, too. He'd fit right in!
Title: Re: Nominate Fictional Characters for Pope
Post by: MadmanJohnson on June 21, 2013, 09:12:03 pm
Nemesis Prime(The Alternity version who is kind of a god). He'd be the first warrior pope and would lead the Church against his foes with Run-Over as his personal weapon.
