POPSOne less religious idiot in the world It's good that this nut just killed himself - although he did put his wife through hell. I guess the saddest part is that this moron had internet access and was able to spread his madness to other religious idiots.

POPSAn HONEST Headline of water on the moon Usually the news like to exaggerate a find and use headlines stating something as a fact when its merely a supposition. Now we know for a FACT. Water is on the moon. That is important in so many ways and knowledge that we can use.

POPSThe idiocy of claiming non belief is belief This is a common argument presented by the two trolls willhelm and darkeforce. In their world up is down, down is up, and after smearing poop on their own face they point at other people and call them shitheads. It's a world of redefining terms to suit their needs, cherry picking the foundation of their religion (the bible) to shore up their beliefs, and a pathological need to project their own requirements of blind faith on other people. It's the only way they can level the playing field when they know what irrational nuts they sound like when trying to defend their claims. Their only recourse - an ad hominem false equivalency approach in order to appear equal.

POPSFOX pushing the Stoopid Will the world end in 2012? No. Will people make complete asses of themselves and some even commit suicide? Definitely. Maybe the gene pool will at least get a little cleared.

POPSAsteroid collision threat further downgraded Some of you may have heard of the asteroid Apophis that is going to pass very close to the earth in 2029? The estimates were that Earth's gravity would nudge it enough that it would return a few years later and hit the Earth. Further orbital calculations have shown that the odds of this happening are even less likely than once thought.

POPSPhil Plait : The Mainstreaming of Crazy An excellent blog by the Bad Astronomer who so easily reaches right to the heart of the matter and exposes the nutty fringe groups for the ridiculous things they say and do. Specifically liked this statement he made : "If I sound angry, then, yeah, I am. I’m tired of ignorance held up as inspiration, where vicious anti-intellectualism is considered a positive trait, and where uninformed opinion is displayed as fact." Much more level minded and common sense points in his article.

POPSThe story of Suzie Believers like to insist that their prayers work and that their devotion to god has a positive effect on the planet. Too bad they don't just open their eyes and look around.

POPSIndian girl faces total Christian ignorance Video won't clip. Go to source to watch 2 complete Christian idiots berate a girl from India about her religion. 90% of the believers are as brainless as these two, believing what they are told and never questioning it. They spout their believer nonsense, never able to defend it without simply insisting it is true. 'Sarah' claims a Hindu belief and faces the gauntlet of believer ignorance from the carrot and stick threats of heaven and hell, Pascal's wager, and finally being told that she cannot associate as a friend unless she commits to being Christian. These 2 Christian twits cannot even fathom how an Indian girl can be considered Asian and insist her dark skin relegates her to African status, going so far as to call her a liar for denying she is not African. I'm almost thinking this is some kind of joke except Christians really are this arrogant in their beliefs. Definately a Poe's Law here if this turns out to be a spoof.

POPSWillhelm is so pathetic that he cannot discuss anything without resorting to insult and ad hominem. Of course he's a god in his own little world because he blocks anyone that points out his glaring logical flaws in his clips. Just go to the linked clipmark to see what an underwear stain the guy is.

POPSAnti-Vax mother sees the light This is a story of a mother who's son contracted autism. She blamed vaccinations and got into bed with the likes of Jenny McCarthy. Then she did the research on her own rather than listening to the anti-vax overmind and concluded that vaccinations were not to blame and the terrible that the world is facing with this growing ignorance.
