POPSOur Natural Place in the World This is just the beginning of a 3 part essay that, for me, embodied the form of spirituality I regularly experience in my life. It's always a revelation when you see something coming from another mind that has so many points of commonality with your own thinking. Part 3 held the most significance for me.

POPSTesting Ireland's new blasphemy law Ian O'Doherty's blasphemous statement: So, here we go -- Catholicism is a cannibal cult which eats its leader, Jews who believe that God wants them to settle in the Holy Land are deranged lunatics, Muslims who wants to install Islamic law are nothing but fascist terrorists and Scientologists are nothing but a bunch of brainwashed weirdos who have been suckered by the malicious rantings of a failed science-fiction writer. Alright lads, I'll see you in court.

POPSAmreen and Lokesh "Two households, alike save for belief In fair Phaphunda, where our scene is set, Where Hindu-Muslim tensions lead to grief And faiths, in conflict, evil will abet. Amreen, a Muslim, and her love Lokesh, A Hindu man who loved her more than life; Two faiths the village elders would not mesh, Though legally the two were man and wife. They fell in love because the two would meet Where Amreen’s father sold the family’s milk; The panchayat—the governing elite— Decreed they could not sully ilk with ilk. The Hindu man and lovely Muslim bride Chose poison over panchayat… and died."
