POPSTeaching hate - Proof ignorance exists among parents This photo and others like it make me very angry. Anger towards the parents that are using their children to promote hate and intolerance. Bigotry and hate are yet alive and well in our society and we need to ban together to aid in eliminating it. The photo is sad. The photo is a lie. I can hear Jesus now saying, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." And I am sure that these children have no clue what they are depicting by wearing these (rags) shirts. Shame on the parents or guardians of them! POP ME IF YOU AGREE!

POPSGay? Who Cares? "For some of the pioneers from the edgy, embattled, ecstatic "good old days," this may be bittersweet. "But isn't that what everyone wanted 20 years ago?" Gates asks. "Just to be treated like everyone else?"

POPSJFK On Church-State Separation - No Spin, No Doubt "Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end, where all men and all churches are treated as equals, where every man has the same right to attend or not to attend the church of his choice, where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind, and where Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, at both the lay and the pastoral levels, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood."

POPSChristmas or Xmas? I've noticed that a lot of Christians really have a problem with using the abbreviated for of Christmas (Xmas). I questioned it myself until I found the above information.

POPS"THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE" If only many people understood the lives of GLBT people. We are no different from other people. Granted, there is good and bad in every person, straight or gay. Most evangelicals focus on the what they believe to be the bad aspects of the GLBT community. This focus is broad casted to society and then society takes that image and builds their conclusions of GLBT people, causing much misconceptions. If only they knew that the majority of us live normal, everyday lives. Many cannot be detected unless they told their sexual preference. Share the knowledge! Thanks to all of you for your intelligence and kind comments. Your support means so much to me and others who happen to be created gay! God Bless You All!

POPSMy cousin, killed in plane crash, read remarks This clip is extra special to me due to the fact that it pertains to my cousin, Theodore Parker III and his career in helping to save traces of rainforest in Bolivia and Peru. Ted was killed in a small airplane crash while conducting field research in South America. Ted's work is yet valued today to science and he is missed greatly.

POPSGreen Man I find all religions to be respected and researched. Many pagan religions were integrated into Christianity. Consider the various holidays we celebrate and more!

POPSFred Phelps, Westboro Baptist Get Slammed! It's about time this bastard got some comeuppance! Phelps takes homophobia to extremes. It's one thing to disapprove of or publicly denounce homosexuality, but Phelps and his family blame gays for everything from the decline of western civilization to yesterday's heartburn. I can think of no better example of religion perverted by hate. This is a real test in my belief in Voltaire’s quote, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”. At times like this, I prefer Tom Stoppard’s version: “I agree with everything you say, but I would attack to the death your right to say it.” In this case, it’s probably best to let Phelps et. al. continue to show the world what asses they are. I can’t imagine any reasonable person, left, right, conservative or liberal, agreeing with Westboro Baptist’s brand of venom. In case you're not familiar with the Phelps clan, check out some of the links in the clip.

POPSFundamentalist Christians; A point of view I agree with precepts that Fundamentalist Christians are trying to impose their standards of morality upon the whole of the United States, causing division. The concept of creationism and evolution is a personal decision among all people and each person's beliefs should be respected. Remember, separation of church and state!! Freedom to believe one theory is the right of all people! Fundamentalism is out of control with their agenda to push their beliefs upon others and integrate it into the Federal Government, State Government, Local Government causing great conflict and much harm on society.

POPSRight beside ya ole G.W. Bush!!!! This is a great testament to opening church doors to all people regardless of sexual orientation or other forms of differences. I had to chuckle when I read how close the church will be built to the George W. Bush Library! Right beside ya ole G.W.! You bigot!

POPSMemorials to gays who suffered and died under Nazi Regime I bring you some of the world's monuments/memorials paying tribute to the men and women who were punished or died for being homosexual or thought to be homosexual by the Nazi Regime. Let us not ever forget the past and remember to replace today's hate with love. Accept one another!

POPSThe Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act A clip from matthewshepard.org The hate crimes prevention act passed on May 3rd, 2007. A little late bringing this to your attention, but still well worth knowing of it's existence and what all it entails. Check on how your Senator voted, Call to thank your Senators for their support. Don't know who Matthew Shepard was or the story behind his demise. Check out the many websites that proclaim his astonishing accomplishments at such an early age and learn how he was murdered by bigotry. A life extinguished due to hate.

POPSJesus Camp, God Hates Fags-Love God's Way; IMAGINE THIS HATE! I've heard of this website and have not yet visited it due to my anger probably growing intensely strong over it. This is pure ignorance and hate! I don't want to turn everybody away from Christianity, as there are many congregations that do have the policy of 'open and affirming'. If you despise this message of hate that is being projected on the web, please POP ME! Help stop the ignorance and hate!
