POPSSalad Bar Christianity This is just another example of a man-made god. Taking the parts we like from all religious practices and mixing them together to form a hodgepodge of beliefs that Jesus warned against. Jesus declared unashamedly that he was the way the truth and the life not just one of many. Man loves to remake God into their own image, changing the absolute rightness of God for a rightness that suits each individual. The salad bar analogy works good here because the tendency of people is to take what they like and leave what they do not like. Most times it is the food that is best for us that we leave on the salad bar.

POPSTexas Appellant Court ruling appalling
In the world of the FLDS, "spiritual marriage" between older men and underage girls — what the law defines as rape — is given the stamp of religious approval. Of 53 girls believed to be between 14 and 17, more than 30 have children or are pregnant, including one who gave birth to her second child in custody. Among the boys, too, there is suspicion of widespread physical abuse. Indeed, many teenage boys are routinely banished to preserve the odds of polygamy. Nevertheless, what do we make of an entire sect that has sexual abuse at its very heart? That believes plural "marriages" between older men and underage women are not an aberration but a pathway to heaven? Nobody can prosecute the FLDS for what they believe, says Marci Hamilton, author of God vs. the Gavel. "They can stay together and believe what they want into eternity. What they can't do is illegal action." In the end, what we have on that ranch in Eldorado is not a lifestyle. It's a pedophile ring.

POPSExpelled the movie Expelled from public debate? Could it be true that proponents of Darwinism are militant in their views? Could it be any opposition to this THEORY is being met with violence and censure? Who is more vocal about their religion anyway, the Darwinists or the Christian? Makes one scratch their head in wonderment.

POPSScriptures are now an amusement park attraction How sad it is to once again see the sacred word of God being depicted as an amusement park attraction. Once was not enough now apparently it is fashionable to create amusement parks in the name of Christianity. I guess this really should not be so surprising considering a good bit of televised religion is nothing more then infomercials and religious entertainment anyway. Perhaps the churches should start charging admission to get inside to witness the great adventures of God up close and personal. Why not just turn the church houses into museums or tourist attractions?

POPSGay Last Supper spurs controversy Sometimes we make much to do about nothing. Considering all the parodies in the world depicting art or movies or other iconic symbols this is just one of another examples of the type of people who participate in these activities. To think that the promoters of this event want people to look upon them as anti- Christian makes one pause to wonder why? I mean if I was promoting an event that I want to make mainstream why would I go out of my way to invoke ridicule by mocking mainstream? Could it be that is exactly how these people think? They really are not mainstream and they hate mainstream thinking and they want to be IN THE Face of mainstream America? If that is the case then I say do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Just to make it clear to the folks at Folsom Street Fair. The Christ of the Da Vinci original Last Supper died to forgive the most vilest of sinners yourself included. Perhaps you should embrace Him and not mock Him?

POPSWhat to do with a Transgender Pastor? There is much error in our church institutions today. As an institution the church has been taking on the appearance of the society in which it was supposed to stand in contrast too. Instead of taking on the appearance of Jesus Christ himself the church has been taking on the garments of the fallen society that Jesus came to save. The Church of Christ is supposed to different from the world, set apart for the purpose of promoting Christ and His kingdom. Oh how far we have fallen. The church as a whole needs to repent and return to Christ and become Christlike not worldlike.

POPSIs Jesus the Only Savior? Today many question the idea that there is only one way to heaven (or that Christianity is the only true faith) -- even some people who identify themselves as Christians. In a world where we are likely to have neighbors of differing faiths, to profess Jesus as the only Savior may be viewed as arrogance and intolerance. Religious "pluralism" is gaining popularity. Many believe that there are many ways to salvation and that the biblical account of Jesus only is at best misquided and at worse bigoted. What do you think?

POPSIs this the new way to play follow the leader? Things like this cause me to stop and ponder just were in the world are we going that we need all these gadgets to get us around? Cell phones so we are never out of touch, On Star our secretery on wheels, and now the modern ROAD MAP GPS units that tell us where to go and how to get there. I think I am pining for the old days when one actually had to think about where it was they were trying to go. Following along blindly makes one fall in a ditch in more ways then one. Whether we are dealing with politics, religion, romance, spirituality, or any other facet of our life, it is best to make informed decisions and not just blinding trust others or in this case a electronic device. Me thinks its about time to put away the toys and learn to think again.
