POPSThe Hire an Atheist to Watch Your Pets Scam 
I had to Clip this as evidence lest someone not believe me. You can now pay a bonafide Atheist $115.00 to take care of your beloved pet when the Rapture comes. The article has a few unsavory words, but the concept is just so ridiculous I just couldn't resist sharing. I'm not real sure how the Rapture story goes. I thought it had something to do with "the Earth burning up." Now if the that happens...there won't be anyone left to care for Fido anyway. This is what the GoDaddy website claims: "You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind. We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus."

POPSThe Coming Superbrain Some more excerpts: not all humans of the industry are optimistic, "The computer designer and venture capitalist William Joy, for example, wrote a pessimistic essay in Wired in 2000 that argued that humans are more likely to destroy themselves with their technology than create a utopia assisted by superintelligent machines." And some worst fear is the Moses Syndrome being just one generation before: "Indeed, despite this high-technology heartland’s deeply held consensus about exponential progress, the worst fate of all for the Valley’s digerati would be to be the generation before the generation that lives to see the singularity; Kurzweil will probably die, along with the rest of us not too long before the ‘great dawn,’ ” said Gary Bradski, a Silicon Valley roboticist. “Life’s not fair.”

POPSHaaretz: "US may cut $1b in loan guarantees to Israel over West Bank settlements" So the hard-pressed US taxpayer is funding the illegal settlers - the new Nazis intent on continuous expansion and war until the mythical 'Greater Israel' is attained!!! Then the Christian nut cases can welcome their Rapture. Pre-WW2, the world divided pretty much between the fascist Nazis and Communists/Socialists. All good Jews were very much anti-Fascist. And now, the Zionists are the fascist Nazis.!!! The former victims of man's inhumanity to man are now the perpetrators of inhuman crime against Gentiles on a grand scale, but still retain the beggar-bowl for regressed Christian Zionists to fill.

POPSThe Rapture: Hoax or Hope? The rapture concept is a relatively new belief. It is essentially ignored by most other Christian faith groups. It does not form a part of any other religion. It is dismissed by essentially all liberal Christian theologians. Damn, so no magic carpet rides and no free cars? Shucks. :(

POPSWhy many Christians reject "Left Behind" views It expresses a minority view - albeit a popular one - that misses the main themes of the New Testament. Its adherents are largely unaware that other Christians find it a distortion of the Bible. Its trendy, highly questionable theology forms the basis of unquestioned support for Israel.

POPSThe Christian Party George W. Bush transformed the center-right party of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and his father, George H.W. Bush, into the political instrument of the religious right, tying the party to the evangelical protestants and to such Catholics as made the culture war central to their politics. In 2000 Bush-Cheney got 75 percent of the white evangelical vote.

POPSDeath to death "The technological singularity has been called the Geek Rapture or Rapture of the Nerds, referring to the belief held by some Christians that they will be taken up bodily into heaven to be with Jesus before the Day of Judgment." is it so? "Even for those who believe that they don't believe in life after death, it seems impossible to stop imagining technological solutions to the problem." Though written very simple, it does point to an interesting riddle.

POPSThe Mind-BlackBerry Problem - Why we think we can function in two worlds at once?? "If we don't want this two-worlds experiment to be regulated nature's way—by killing people—then we'd better regulate it ourselves. Here are a few proposed rules of the road. Multitasking is a glorious gift. We can't ban it, nor should we. Want to phone your spouse or your office while walking? Fine. The only life at stake is yours. Want to turn on your car radio or music player? Fine. Listening is easier than talking, and you can mentally or physically shut it off when necessary. Want to chat with your passenger? Fine again. Studies indicate that passenger conversations are less distracting than phone calls, apparently because you're sharing and often referring to the same environment.

POPSMan, not God will bring about the End Times ~ Haggee Ezek 34 to Haggai. The Bible clearly tells us that God will bring about the end, not man, so that all may know it is Him. 1 Tim 1:5-7 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men , straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. 2 Thess 2:1-3 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you may not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 1 Thess 5:2-3 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 3 While they

POPSEnd Times A-Coming? A recurring argument lodged by theists against atheists is their inabilitiy to understand how non-believers can exist in a world of no god-given purpose. Theists seem incapable of comprehending the simple (to me at least) idea that each of us fashions our own purpose and meaning in life. This article touches on that aspect of thought.
