POPSLet's call bigots... bigots. There's nothing "protected" by passing constitutional amendments that deny rights to a class of Americans. And when you think about it -- that's really what these amendments do.

POPSAdio to Billy G... Thank goodness -- hopefully he won't be replaced. Political advisors mascarading as preachers make me nausious... & Gramm gave me a big stomach ache. He's a phony just like the rest... Give the wikipedia article a read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham_(evangelist)#Controversy

POPSThe last bit... of idiocy... If Barak O is a Muslim, he must be a bad one -- since he's pro-choice and pro-same-sex marriage. But the average conservative "joe six-pack" doesn't think past the slogans... Apparently, not even when he's writing them out for a bill-board.

POPSAt least he admits it... Faith in something that doesn't really exist isn't limited to religious fanatics... Free markets don't exist either... They are created by us -- people -- and ALL of them have rules: man-made rules. Greenspan was one of the faithful. I can at least give him credit for seeing the error in his own ideology. Banks and other institutions ONLY exist because we created them... without rules and regulations they would not be able to function.

POPSFaith based leadership... Another example of why the bible is wicked -- and why those that follow it are either truly stupid, or evil themselves... Who even tries to justify such teachings?

POPSReligious Non-sense - alive and well today. So what non-sense is the church putting forth today -- that is impeding science? How about the idea that a ball of 150 or so cells is a human being -- and is thus stifling research into embryonic stem cells. When does the idiocy end?

POPSMediocre Leadership... Sam Harris points out the fact that we love our politicians... but we love them to be like the "average guy" -- pretty dumb.

POPSPalin's prudence... She stands for everything America is NOT... We are NOT a nation built on biblical respect for authority... but on the idea that power emanates from the goverened.

POPSSo you think christianity is crazy? Give the Quaran and Islam a try... Kafir girl reads and comments on the book so you don't have too! She also adds some family "insights" to keep things moving... Funny stuff (it so many people didn't take this crap seriously)

POPSChristians & Muslims beleive god wants you to marry only virgins... Or you have to at least believe he USED to require it... cuz there are many passages in the old testament that indicate you should stone your wife if you find out she's not a virgin on her wedding night... I guess god changes his morality based on the age however - since we're not supposed to do this anymore right?

POPSDevolution... The ability of mankind to cling to ancient myths when they can't fully grasp science is astounding...

POPSState religion... Why is the state authorizing a sectarian license plate? I hope the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Atheists all protest this one and take the state to court. Legislatures have more important stuff to do than this...

POPSBigotry alive and well... In case you thought it was on the way out... And guess what? You just need to look to the bible-belt to find the largest percentages of bigots in the country. In 1998 S. Carolina had about 38% of voters still in favor of miscegenation laws. Amazing...

POPSA dead issue... The statistics have been clearly showing that younger folks (rightly) don't consider gay relationships and issue... It may not happen this year or in the next few, but in a decade or so this issue will completely go away -- just as interracial marriage, the idea of "separate but equal (segregation) and other forms of bigotry did.

POPSMajority seems to get it... While I'm sure this is just 'one result' it would seem the tide is turning: people are realizing that private decisions -- like a person's choice of a mate -- should be respected by government.

POPSVactican craziness In an ever more idiotic attempt to reconcile religion with science we hear how the Vatican is prepp'ng the flock for the eventual discover of extraterrestrial life forms ... You can't make this stuff up in Hollywood

POPSThey got it right... It is often up to the courts to enforce freedoms that a bigoted public would rather restrict (vis a vi - interracial marriage, segregation, etc.)

POPSTwain on the Book of Mormon One of my favorite quotes... I haven't read thru this one yet myself -- for the exact reason Mr. Twain cites. Its even more boring (and ridiculous) than the bible.

POPSWarren Jeffs and the FLDS Some excerpts from Carolyn Jessop's FLDS memoir... While obviously extreme, this is why people shouldn't foist ANY religion on children. Let them decide truth for themselves...
0
POPSNo nation... There is no nation-state when religious offiliation trumps nationalism... Not that either form of dogma is "good" ... but for the political process to work, people have to believe they are first part of a nation... For many Iraqis religious affiliation defines their identify...
1
POPSThe Shia problem... We traded a Sunni tyrant for a Shia majority in Iraq that will be closely aligned with Iran... Both the Mahdi army and the Badr corps are funded, trained and have close ties to the Iranian Qods force... Although Maliki is attempting to do the right thing banning armed militia parties from government (they can be only one "army" in a nation-state), the effort is likely to cause his downfall. Iraq is simply not ready to be a representative democracy. These people place far more importance on religious matters than political reconciliation. The fast we realize this and get out the better...
2
POPSThe worst of crimes... Not only did they protect pedofiles, the church threatened anyone who exposed the secret with excommunications. Remembering these are believers, it means you have an organization threatening HELL to those who try to PROTECT children. Can you imagine a more evil organization?
