I really have no clue why there are people who feel as if they are in a better position with God and hence, they have to make rules for rest of us to follow when it comes to driving.....of all things. Lately, the Vatican has released a list of ten road commandments that range from acceptable to downright outrageous. So realistically, of all these commandments, the only thing I do when I drive in S. FL is say a whole bunch of prayers before, during and after my drive but seriously, there are a lot of people waiting to piss you off on the road.....including the ones who seem to have a cell phone glued to their ear. It is really hard when it comes to the commandment about hand gestures though. It amazes me sometimes how rapidly spoken language deteriorates on the road.....especially in a state where we have a bunch of retirees who insist that their reflexes are as good as when they were 18, as well as people who do not know that their cars come equipped with signal lights.
To some extent, people have to be responsible enough to know these things and not have to be told by of all people, the Pope. I am guessing that members of the Vatican got bored lately and came up with this manifesto that also tells people not to stop and pick up prostitutes.
Yes, I respect religion and other people's beliefs but this is a little bit overboard. Ridiculously so. When so-called "religion" dictates how you should do things and it takes away from me being able to exercise my given gift of free will, and hence, we end up having a problem with me and religion/religious organizations.
And for the Vatican, there are a few other major world problems that an influential organization like itself may use its power to gain some leeway.
