POPSCrazy Phelps Rants On Be warned. This is not pretty. This demented hater of the ages spews his venom. And he backs it up with scripture so it must be true!

POPSBargain of the Week This is a real site! What a strange world we live in. I imagine they'll draw enough wackos to make a tidy sum. P. T. Barnum would be proud.

POPSSC: Land of Gawd? Are these folks so brain dead that they just don't get it? Evidently not. They keep trying to inject their own particular superstition into government and they keep failing. Reminds me of the adage of the crazy person persisting in the same activity and expecting differing results.

POPSReality Intrudes Most rational people will see through Ben Stein's false argument as portrayed in his failed "documentary" Expelled. For those poor souls that still buy into his Intelligent Design BS, here's a bit of a reminder that the entire basis of the ID movement is founded on lies, half-truths, and religious dogma.

POPSBirmingham Builds Bridge to 12th Century In keeping with the image of the regressive South the Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama decided that the best way to fight a rising crime rate was to don biblical costumes and ask his invisible friend for help. Is it any wonder the rest of the nation views the South with scorn and ridicule? I live in the South and I hold that sad view too. But I do like the climate!

POPSFreedom for All Because of the nationwide special privilege that Christians have come to expect this type of discrimination is common place.

POPSScience Ignorance Blessed in Oklahoma Although this legislation has not made it through to law the very idea that it was put forth at all is surprising. I feel sorry for rational Oklahomans who must endure this humiliation.

POPSFlorida Creationist Shows Off Of course not all Floridians are this abjectly stupid. Although recent polls indicate that close to 50% prefer creationism over evolution. Take a peek at what a lack of science education can accomplish.

POPSPeace Loving Moslims Find Witch Guilty Evidently the Dark Ages have special significance to the peoples of Saudi Arabia. This latest tidbit chronicles the successful trial of an illiterate Saudi woman on charges of witchcraft. Witchcraft! And this is a civilized country? But hold on Westerners. How is this different from the still occurring practice of exorcism for demon possession? So put away your smugness. Although, I'll have to admit we've done away with the death penalty for demon possession. I suppose that's progress?

POPSUh, Who Cares What Religion Obama Is? Evidently this "issue" has captured the imagination of religious people around the US. Maybe they're not familiar with Article VI of the Constitution. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. The popular view today would seem to be that this article was simply a "suggestion".

POPSThose Wacky Afghans The plaintiff's brother characterized this as "very unfair"? How about 12th Century barbaric? And make no mistake about it, there is a segment of the fundamentalists movement here in the states that would like nothing better than to institute Biblical law in the US. Get your stones ready. Read up on the latest statutes. Let the rocks fly.

POPSTell Me It Ain't So I've often heard my Christian friends make a distinction between worshiping God and Allah. This always struck me as quaint since both religions (Christianity and Islam) share a common Abrahamic tradition. What they mean to infer is the different ways in which the two religions view the biblical Jesus.

POPSReligious Violence in India Proselytizing Christians anger Hindus in this latest saga of religious violence to sprout up in the world. Of course, atheists look at this and can't help but shake their heads at how nonsensical religionists are.

POPSMan Made Life Whoa. The implications from this will be enormous. If this project succeeds expect a concerted campaign of denial and attack from the religious conservatives.

POPSChristian Panic Once again we're presented with the curious sight of grown people (at least in a chronological sense) getting in a lather over a display that is contrary to their sacred view of the world. Fear seems to be the driving force behind most of the actions of religious people and that fear is exhibited here. Predictably, their response is unfortunately representative of a school yard fight instead of adults addressing a difference of opinion. We'll get to it! You can imagine their moral outrage if the shoe was on the other foot. Acceptance is a concept that they have yet to learn.

POPSOh Goody - I'm Gonna Get Saved Tomorrow Tomorrow's the big day for me! Scads of folks are coming together to electronically pray for me and other heathens at a new website. I can begin to feel the godly tingles already... I found the end of the clip particularly telling as it shows that the concept of rational thought has yet to occur to this person. Too bad...

POPSStrap on Your Sidearms Boys - It's Wartime Again The time is here! Dig those trenches; arm the battlements; the heathens are at the gates!!!! This is one "War" I find great amusement with. Watching fools act out their paranoid fantasies has great entertainment value.

POPSCatholic League Panties Wad Up Again One would be tempted to suggest that if the Catholic Church had put as much energy into clergy misconduct, we'd all be better off. But, of course, this movie is a sincere threat to the very moral fiber of the world and could possibly mark the end of civilization as we know it. :-)

POPSChristianity Doomed! A stark and revealing expose on the end of Christianity and Western Culture as we know it. Domesday is Near!! Oh, wait...this is a review of a friggin movie. Never mind.

POPSI'll Drink to That The article ends: "They are very nice, Salma, but you should really give credit where credit is due: genes, steroid hormone receptors, steroid hormones, diet, and a million years of chance and selection."

POPSComment from PZ Myers Blog I know I already clipped about this topic but I just found this on PZ's blog and thought I'd share it. Sorry for the repetition.

POPSReligious Comic Relief I was given hope that here was the definitive article that would wipe away this fog from religion and bring it into the 21st Century. It promised to disprove atheist claims using reason and science. Now, of course there are no atheist claims to disprove, but it makes for good rhetoric. (Note: atheism is non-belief, not a system of belief). Well, don't hold your breath waiting for any type of definitive rational for believing in a deity here. As they say, this article is all sizzle and no steak.

POPSPoor Christians - Thrown to the Lions Again For all the Liberals out there who have fallen in love with Mr. Paul, I suggest they take another look at the real Ron Paul. Sure he's against the war in Iraq but that's not his entire agenda. This quy is more of a nut than most think.

POPSAmerican Taliban It seems this trend is taking hold as more and more law schools are becoming Christian. Does the idea of American madrasahs concern you? Does this mean an increase in "Biblical Law"? What implications do you see here? What about religions that don't "fit"? What about atheists? Will stoning become the vogue? Why is this necessary?

POPSMyth vs History Most in US accept the Bible as factual instead of mythological? My own experience with believers seems to back up this claim.

POPSCatholic League Overboard in Criticism? The clip is a short excerpt from the interview. It addresses a point that we see over and over again these days from the Religious Right. Their primary focus is to make their form of Christianity a State religion. Luckily, the Constitution as prevented this from happening. To be fair, a majority of these folks probably want this to happen because they are genuinely troubled for what, to them, appears to be a moral collapse in the US. They think that a return to an imagined past is the answer to restore their world back to equilibrium. These simplistic desires are often the fuel that powers many of these unfounded protests. Reasoning and logic have no effect on this close minded thinking.

POPSA Sad Tale This is simply a taste of a rather lengthy article that traces the rather sad and frequently misunderstood Antony Flew. Having read a couple of Flew's books I was perplexed by reading recent accounts in various Christian journals of his sudden "conversion". This article sheds light on the unfortunate decline in his mental acuity and the manner in which this was taken advantage of by a group of ID apologists attempting to add a respected scholar to their ranks.

POPSTheocracy? Is This Good for America? Click on the link and view the embedded video to gain an awareness of the total wackiness of these people. Make no mistake about it, these people are intent on making this a Christian Nation. And if your "brand" of Christianity doesn't conform with what they deem appropriate you're as much on the outside as any non-believer. Maybe those depicted in the video are not of the Fred Phelps ilk, they are much more of a danger because of their numbers and organizational influence in politics. You've been warned!

POPSNew Film Anti-Religious? I can't remember any atheist attacks on the multitude of religious based films that we've been assaulted by over the years (except possibly for the Christian porn movie, The Passion of the Christ). Now the Christian censors are frantic that the movie's tame portrayal of the books it is based on will be too watered down. Their reasoning is that with the meeker film version people will be persuaded to buy the book and that is where the real god bashing occurs. So in their warped view of reality, the film is simply a feature length commercial for the book series. It's no surprise when one realizes that the major criticism for the film and books comes from the Catholic League. A group not known for its tolerance.

POPSChristian Double Standard True to form, Christians seem to be all in favor of religious non-discrimination as long as it's non-discrimination towards Christians only.

POPSLosing Faith I guess I shouldn't be so hard on evangelicals. According to this article they're doing the world a favor if they cause people to discover reality.
