Did Jesus say "On this rock I will build my Church, and we will have a democratic process to decide who will be the representative of God's authority once I'm gone"? I don't believe he did.
Secondly if we assume that the church made the Bible, and the Church is run by the Pope, then indirectly the Pope made the Bible. So indirectly, the Pope invented what he claims to be trying to preserve in the first place. He has created the reason for his own existence, and yet has conveniently forgotten to include "Oh, and there will be a Pope" in it.
Edit: Also I'm not trying to cause any animosity, the thread was based in asking our opinion, and I gave mine. It may have been a little strong, granted, but I think on this kind of topic it's bound to be. I also gave reasons for my opinion, which were also asked for. So juanzup, if you think I was offensive in any way, I apologise, but I just posted what you asked for so yeah.
