POPSPoor Christians - Thrown to the Lions Again For all the Liberals out there who have fallen in love with Mr. Paul, I suggest they take another look at the real Ron Paul. Sure he's against the war in Iraq but that's not his entire agenda. This quy is more of a nut than most think.

POPSGeorge Carlin on God In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.

POPSShooter Possessed by Demons People sometimes argue that "their" religion is more up to date than the religion of the extremists. Herein lies the danger because both hold the same or similar ideas of bad behavior being caused by outside entities (Satan or demons of a lessor pay grade). Attempts are made by more liberal religionists for a more metaphorical interpretation of what is meant but the underlying cause of really bad actions is still partially removed from the area of responsibility of the perpetrator and placed as the result of being under the influence of some sort of demonic power. I have no problem with someone being described as being demonic but I take that to be not in a literal sense. A large block of faiths believe in possession by an outside influence. That is the danger.

POPSTop Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old. 4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving." 3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity. 2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the wil

POPSWhile We're at it, Let's Put Down Minority Religions! Amazing. In just one run-on sentence this journalist puts down a whole religious group. I wonder if he wouldn't mind Christianity being classified as, "A bunch feeble-minded, accept anything on faith alone, middle age, polyester clad, big haired, no life sheep." Hey buddy, stick to your topic which is Harry Potter and stop putting down religious groups.

POPSWhat a Whiner!!! A man lays down his life for his country and this man wants to deny him his choice of religion and keep him from using his own religious symbol on his own grave! I can't believe this. Then he whines about not being able to put artificial flowers on a grave. I guess honoring veterans is fine so long as he is able to put cheap flowers instead of the real thing.
