POPSQuotations by Abraham Lincoln ""In religion, Mr. Lincoln was about of the same opinion as Bob Ingersoll, and there is no account of his ever having changed. He went to church a few times with his family while he was President, but so far as I have been able to find out, he remained an unbeliever. Mr. Lincoln in his younger days wrote a book, in which he endeavored to prove the fallacy of the plan of salvation and the divinity of Christ."

POPSDiabetic girl dies as parents pray "She said her family believed in the Bible and that healing came from God. But she insisted that they were not "crazy religious people" "Even after her death, her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, who did not belong to any organised faith, prayed over her body in the hope that she might be resurrected."

POPSThe Religion of the New World Order "...it has now become obvious that the desired world political unity will never be achieved without bringing an end to religious conflict. This is why New Age global planners have quietly given birth to the United Religions Organization. They believe that the future of our world depends on all of us becoming tolerant and respectful of each other's beliefs." "Interfaith Christian? There is no such thing. Add this term to your list of oxymorons."

POPSNew Testament - on Women's rights So many translations; so many interpretations; but sometimes they all say essentially the same thing... women are second class citizens... thus saith the Lord. Is the word of god "subject to" the culture of the times? Or do we change the interpretation of god's word to fit our sensibilities at the time? Perhaps we create god's word as we go. Certainly our interpretation does.

POPSAlbert Einstein Quotes on a Personal God Did Albert Einstein believe in God? Many religious theists cite Einstein as an example of a smart scientist who was also a religious theist like them. This supposedly rebuts the idea that science conflicts with religion or that science is atheistic. However, Albert Einstein consistently and unambiguously denied believing in personal gods who answered prayers or involved themselves in human affairs - exactly the sort of god common to religious theists claiming that Einstein was one of them.

POPS15 Quotes by Famous Atheists Bertrand Russell: “You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.”

POPSThe Incredibly Tiny Christian Universe "..astronomers estimate that hundreds of billions of galaxies exist in the universe and that each galaxy could contain hundreds of Christian-sized universes!" See? There's no "real" conflict between religion and science...is there?

POPSMother dies after refusing blood She was only 22 years of age. Her surviving husband now has to live with that decision too (and two motherless children). The article is not clear that she would have lived if she received it, according to her family... not according to the doctor. At least it was her own decision and consequences, and not a decision to deny children of needed medical treatment. It's still sad.

POPSSpeaking in Tongues (or Mass hypnosis?) An obvious mass hypnosis is taking place here. It's no wonder reason holds less value than faith to the indoctrinated -- they are clearly hypnotized. Here is mass hypnosis being reinforced every week.

POPSDisband the Theology Departments! "..as for theology itself, defined as "the organised body of knowledge dealing with the nature, attributes, and governance of God", a positive case now needs to be made that it has any real content at all.."
