POPSChild Rapist and Anti-Catholic Cult Boss Gets 175 Years His stepdaughter, Christhiaon Coie, wasn’t among them but, in an earlier interview with the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report, said she was raped by Alamo when she was in her teens. “I want to thank for demanding justice when so many others turn a blind eye to so many pathetic cowards who hide behind Bibles, sheets and children,” she said in an E-mail today as she awaited news of Alamo’s sentence. Alamo met and married Coie’s mother, Edith — a name she soon changed to Susan — in 1966 and the couple began Tony Alamo Christian Ministries three years later in California. Followers say they were punished with beatings and food deprivation, and threatened with losing their spouses and children. Among other things, Alamo blamed the Catholic church for communism, Nazism and the two world wars.

POPSYawn - Dinesh's Same Tired Dogma This guy never adds anything new to the conversation. The same tired arguments, over and over again. For those of you unfamiliar with this defender of the faith, he is a frequent columnist on the World Net Daily. The WND is notorious for such rational positions as backing the Birthers, Creationists, and Christian Nationalists. Dinesh's mainstays are straw men, claiming atheists are a dangerous "movement", and bashing liberals. One could compare him to Glenn Beck without a TV show.

POPSNut Case Extrodinaire I haven't had the displeasure of coming across Allen Ball before and for that I'm grateful. Seldom have I met someone who is so bigoted and hateful as this individual. His solution to all the woes of this country. Christianity. Of course it's his own, right wing version. What a sanctimonious ass-hat.

POPSLonewolf Diaries: All Christians are Serial Killers My 70 year-old grandma, a christian woman, drives the same old beat-up car she brought with my grandpa 30 years ago to the Baptist church every Sunday morning. She weighs about 95 lbs. soaking wet. She occassionally makes sandwiches for the kids in Sunday School. Sometimes, she forgets the meat though. One day, she made a mayonnaise sandwich for me. Maybe she was trying to kill me? So I found the nearest potted plant and spit it out. But it got me wondering about her evil ways, and whenever I see her reading the bible, I sense she is plotting my murder.

POPSRep. Nick Thompson v. Rush Limbaugh These people, Nick Thompson and his wife, out of the goodness of their hearts, allowed this stranger to live in an unused home while she tries to get on her feet. Kudos to them both. Rush Limbaugh, giant ass that he is, has the nerve to rant against the Thompsons’ as an embarrassment to Americans. For this comment and many, many others, Rush Limbaugh is an embarrassment to humanity. He views this type of charity only through the eyes of “what is in it for me”. And then his ‘ditto-head flock of sheep’ start bashing Thompson as a disgrace to Republican principles of self-responsibility. Self responsibility through helping your neighbor in time of need is the greatest show of respect we can offer each other. This is the kind of respectability that far too many Americans have forgotten. As Mr. Thompson said "Whether Republican or Democrat, the more people do small things like just helping your neighbor the better off we’d be."

POPSBlashpemy Law To Be Repealed! This is great to see. These stupid laws need to go. We can't have critical discussions about religion, if you can be held for 'Blasphemy'! Chalk one up for free speech!

POPSNew Film Anti-Religious? I can't remember any atheist attacks on the multitude of religious based films that we've been assaulted by over the years (except possibly for the Christian porn movie, The Passion of the Christ). Now the Christian censors are frantic that the movie's tame portrayal of the books it is based on will be too watered down. Their reasoning is that with the meeker film version people will be persuaded to buy the book and that is where the real god bashing occurs. So in their warped view of reality, the film is simply a feature length commercial for the book series. It's no surprise when one realizes that the major criticism for the film and books comes from the Catholic League. A group not known for its tolerance.

POPSRosie Challenged to defend anti-Christian hate speech Heck if people can silence the boorish Imus perhaps people can silence the loud mouth Rosie. But as long as Rosie only bashes Bush and Christians perhaps no one will say anything. She may even get a pass on Jew bashing but lets see if she can get away with 'nappy headed hos' shall we?

POPSEd Koch(D): GOP will hold both houses. Ed Koch is a life long democrat. He served in the House and was the mayor of New York City. He feels the GOP will hold because he believes the republican base is more likely to turn out and vote.
