POPS"Inaugural prayers under attack in DC" I'm sure they were actually "sick." Demons always reject the name of Jesus. They will do anything they can to fight against that name, including making the people they possess or oppress physically ill.

POPS"Napolitano Apologizes to Veterans Group for 'Rightwing Extremism' Report" I still think this whole thing is evident of where our country is going but I am glad she appologized. I know we all make mistakes but I really wonder if she would have made all these appologies if there hadn't been such an uproar. At the same time, I have only heard her apologize for what she said about veterans but haven't heard her say anything about pro-lifers or other conservatives. I do realize that the vet statements were the most ridiculous & offensive but what about the rest of the report. Does she not feel like the rest of the report was a little over the top also?

POPS"Take Action: 'Hate-Crimes' Bill Headed for a Vote" "'The problem, which few want to acknowledge for fear of being labeled politically incorrect, or worse homophobic, is that in order to crack down on hateful behavior ... thoughts and expression must also be targeted — which runs diametrically counter to the First Amendment's protections for free speech and expression,' he wrote in a commentary today." "TAKE ACTION Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and reportedly said he is not hearing from family advocates on this issue. Please e-mail and/or call your U.S. representative and request a vote against the hate-crimes bill (H.R. 1913). You can find contact information through our Action Center."

POPS"Tatoos of the Cross" "While cross tattoos are no longer widespread among urban Copts, they remain popular among Egyptian Christian villagers as reminders of particular blessings and religious vows. To these Copts of both the past and present, cross tattoos have not been a sign of teenage rebellion or fashion forwardness. Instead, they have been enduring reminders of their Christian faith—showing the Copts' dedication to the One who bore the everlasting scars of mercy, grace, and truth."

POPS"Court Allows College to Deny Christian Club" Watch the video on the site. It explains much more. My question is, if I as a white, Christian, Republican, Conservative, Pro-Life, woman join a Mexican/Asian/African-American, Jewish, Democrate, Pro-Choice, Fraternity?

POPS13 yr old British girl asked to remove crucifix First off, what exactly is the "health & saftey risk" associated with wearing a necklace? Ok, the parents & student in this case knew what the rules were & broke them anyway. If you are going to break the rules (even if they are stupid), you must be willing to suffer the consequences. Personally, I think this is a bit discrimanatory however, if she were my child, I would tell her to do as the school says & wear it as a lapel pin. I still think it is wrong but the school is trying to come up with an alternative while keeping with the school policy. However, this "little thing" along with so many others in Britian & the world seem to be snowballing.

POPSJames White discusses U.N. wanting to regulate Freedom of Speech in every nation. Mr. White's statement about Islam's teachings criticizing Christianity & Judaism was one of my first thoughts also. I don't like people criticizing Christianity but Freedom of Speech is one of our greatest & most important freedoms in this country. As Christians, we know through Biblical prophecy that such persecution will continue to escalate for us, however, that does not mean we can't fight with all our might against it.

POPS"La. Prison Agrees to Strip Monument of Bible Reference" "The prayer reads: 'The light of God surrounds you/The love of God enfolds you/The power of God protects you/And the presence of God watches over you;/Wherever you are, God is.'" "Fontenot said that side of the monument will be filled with artwork or a more secular inspirational message." "The ACLU last week filed suit against Cain and other officials after two inmates -- one Catholic, one Muslim -- said they were denied access to worship services and religious materials."

POPSJames White's response to Sean Penn's Oscar acceptance speech There is no need to intimidate people because they do not agree with you. You can share your beliefs & opinions but "shaming" people because they don't follow you is ridiculous. This is a free country, supposedly, & we shouldn't be afraid to go to the polls & vote our conscious. I may not agree with your views but I'm not going to berate & ridicule you for your choice. My convictions are not a reflection of how I view another person. I may not agree with one person's lifestyle but that doesn't mean that I can't be friends with them or love them. Even Jesus fellowshipped with tax collectors & prostitutes. Are we not called to do the same? Granted you should be of enough spiritual maturity that you are not swayed to their lifestyle but one should never be made to feel as though God does not love them.
