POPSIntelligent Comments from the Right I couldn't resist clipping this bit of nonsense. It is a comment on a Fox News story about a speech Obama made at the Prayer Day breakfast. About what you'd expect from the heartland.

POPSChristian Right Only Obey Certain Laws How odd! All the ranting and raving the Right does about "activist judges" only points out their hypocrisy. Seems they're willing to obey the law if it is in their favor. If they are forced to acknowlege they are not the only game in town then all bets are off. What a bunch of losers.

POPSS.C. Gets What It Deserves This rhetoric is not unusual in the NeoCon South. Neocons and Right Wingnuts routinely pull out the "responsibility" bludgeon they use to bash the poor over the head with. Their motto should be "I've got mine - screw you". BTW, the rest of the editorial offers evidence on just how wrong that position is.

POPSReligious Right Gathers in Washington A curious mingling of anti-choice and anti-health care supporters gathered to voice their encouragement to force women to follow their mandates and rent out their wombs by order of the theocratic government. A curious mixing of anti-health care proponents rounded out the protest. I'm sure the Insurance companies are smiling.

POPSCaring is a Human Quality Also from the article: Regular F&R readers might recall that earlier this year we saw that unbelievers were among the fund-raising leaders at Kiva, the international Internet person-to-person micro-lending site. When I checked in July, the unbelievers were leading other special interest groups including churches, raising funds to uplift the world's poorest.

POPSReligious Rights Answer to Haiti Tragedy How can this idiot put forth this kind of mindless drivel? He'd of made sense in the 11th century, not today. What a sad commentary from a leader of America's Christian conservatives.

POPSConcentrated Inanity Chopra has a huge following. What does that indicate? That there are many, many gullible people in the world!

POPSNo Wonder They're Ridiculed Conservative Christians don't like this film, it seems. Like much of everyday life, they see it as a threat on their beliefs. How tiring it must be to be a Fundamentalist in today's world. There's a devil behind every bush and hordes of heathens banging at the door.

POPSBible Belt Bluster North Carolina recently has had its share of negative publicity. A relatively minor brouhaha concerning a councilman who claims to be a "post-theist" has ignited a small blaze that has reached the national level. Ridicule is an excellent tool for changing perspective concerning silly laws. One wonders about the competence of the lawmakers in SC.

POPSGimme That New-Time Religion Also, from the article: Hispanics are more likely than whites to believe in yoga, spiritual energy in physical objects, astrology and the evil eye, and blacks are more likely than whites to believe in reincarnation and the evil eye. Older people (those over age 65) are less likely to agree with these kinds of beliefs compared with younger people The concept of worship is changing too as people go to services in multiple places across faiths. More than one in three (35%) adults surveyed said they attend religious services at multiple places and 24% said they attend services of different faiths. Protestants (30%) were more likely to attend services outside their domination than Catholics. More Protestants (30%) say they attend services outside their own denomination than Catholics (19%).

POPSAn Afrian Tragedy Certain African countries are at the receiving end of international scorn for their homophobic views. And rightly so. It is difficult to fathom how, in the 21st Century, this type of backwards thinking could exist. Shame on them.

POPSBigotry Sanctioned by Religion The question is one of privilege over bigotry. Should certain Christian sects be allowed to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation? The theists claim they are simply following their holy book which they contend makes the practice of prejudice and bigotry against gays and lesbians legitimate. They cling to their repeatedly refuted dogma that the "homosexual lifestyle" is something voluntary. Their argument? The Bible says it's so. This anti-reality viewpoint is not confined to sexual orientation. It is seen in a general anti-intellectualism and distrust of science. No wonder that a growing segment of the public are beginning to see through this and respond accordingly.

POPSLiving in the Bible Belt What may seem unconscionable to most Americans is the rule of thumb in the Bible Belt. Most people I meet every day most likely would agree that anyone who doesn't believe in God is not fit to hold public office. People simply do not think these non-believers stand on firm moral ground.
