POPSChristian Child Abuse caught on tape Listen to this audio of a 9 year old girl being mentally abused. She is being forced to accept that Harry Potter put the devil in her. This is child abuse. People like this needs to be locked up, but because of a taboo we allow on discussing religion people like this are allowed to continue, often encouraged. Pardon me while I go throw up now

POPSNo doomsday in 2012 You know when you look back on your life and you say, "boy was I an idiot back then"? Well I think a lot of people are going to feel the same way after December 22, 2012 ... kinda like everyone did after Jan 1, 2000.

POPSNew show for the rational mind : Skeptologist Finally a show is coming on to debunk some of the most outrageous claims made by people. Right now the show is shooting the pilot episodes and looking to get support from the television industry. Drop them an email as support to show that television shows like this do have a market and people are getting tired of ghost story, UFO, and Bigfoot shows of drivel.

POPSEvolution IS a Blind Watchmaker This is the best example of how the "Watchmaker" argument is complete fluff and shows once again why creationists really don't understand what it is they are talking about when they present arguments such as "The Watch Maker" or "The Jet in the Junkyard".

POPSTax Dollars at Work Nothing like a cop that over-reacts to a small situation. Hope to hell I never experience an asshole like this cause I can't guarantee no to be going to jail on assault charges. "I'm NOT a DUDE!" Hehe, no way I could avoid the obvious reply to that...

POPSAfrican Christians declare war on "child witches" And people wonder why I call religion a cancer on society? Religion supports and spreads the idea of mystical thought while destroying and undermining the use of rationalism. It is insanity and delusion passed off as salvation.

POPSWhy can't we hear the transmissions of Aliens? Some people insist that the Earth has been leaking signals into space for the last few decades and by now we should have gotten someone's attention or heard someone else out there leaking signals. The fact is that you would need a radio dish the size of the Arecibo dish (pictured above) to pick up a good signal only as far away as Saturn. Any farther than that and even that dish will only yield static.

POPS100 miles per gallon Hummer?! As he points out, his conversions consist almost entirely of taking stock GM parts and snapping them together in clever new ways. "They could do all this stuff if they wanted to," he tells me, slapping on a visor and hunching over an arc welder."The technology has been there forever. They make 90% of the components I use." He doesn't have an engineering degree; he didn't even go to high school: "I've just been messing around and seeing what I can do."

POPSPhone Uses Jawbone to Transmit Sound Imagine if a more refined method of speaking would be to have a mike right on the throat - the tradition method of thumb to ear/ pinky to lips to indicate a phone call would have to be rethought.

POPSIs atheism a belief? A refresher. The bottom line is that regardless of what magical sky fairy you do or do not believe in, there is ample evidence to indicate there are basic moral guidelines that all humans have an instinctive nature to follow. The most obvious involves avoiding unnecessary harm to other creatures. By doing so, we reduce the likelihood of unnecessary harm being inflicted upon ourselves, and you don't need to believe in god to recognize that pain and discomfort is something worth avoiding wherever possible. For more information, see Atheism for further details on categories of atheists.

POPSGod vs the Bible There is far to much knowledge at this site to do more than clip a few points that will be made. There is a lot of great information to be found here. As I've said before, no one can prove or disprove "a god" or "a creator", but we have ample evidence to show that the bible god is complete fiction.
