LOL some of you guys are taking this playful subject so literally:
But if we are going to then:
I don't know if you guys know, but I am a christian. And part of my story was that I was catholic from birth-16, then christian since probably 17.
In that I've come to learn that as powerful as God is there is a big level of "free will" which also results in conseqeunces. God DOES have the power to break his own "science" and cause miracles but that is up to Him.
As far as destiny or Him choosing your death time...I think it's more or less He "Knows" rather then "Orchestrates." Simply because, again, he can only lead the "horse" to water (in this case, Humans to Himself), but he can not make them "drink."
As for my take on the pope, perhaps his intentions are right, but I don't believe we should be praying to anyone else except God Himself (and the Trinity that He is)....plus there is a lot of self-glorification he allows....kinda sets me off. Everything's forgivable though
As for cutting in line (the less serious subject): Nah I wouldn't let him.

Yes but the two religions themselves are VERY VERY VERY (Did i say very) Different.....[insert dumbass here, if I weren't christian and didn't care to insult people based on mis-information].
Catholics and "Born-Again" christians (Charismatics) are very diff. in tradition (I.E. Catholics are all about tradition and thats basically it) and stepping foot in our church "service" is very diff. (to me, more passionate at times) than a Catholic "Mass"
Don't speak about something you don't know. They are "similiar" but not "the same thing"

The type of Christian you're speaking of is protestant.
It basically goes like this, either you believe that Jesus was the son of God or not. If you do then you're a Christian. If you don't you're not.
Then you basically fall into one of two categories. Catholic or Protestant. If you're a christian either you listen to the pope and are catholic, or you don't and your protestant.
Catholics are Christian in fact are the original christians. Jesus friggin started catholicism basically and was the first church. Everyone was catholic until martin luther came along and then there were protestants. Just because martin luther came along and basically created protestantism didnt suddenly mean that catholics werent christians.
