POPSChristians told to take down green campaign posters that mention God by Camden council Doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot now does it? Story continues: "A group organiser said: “This time last year we held a Green Fair for the Feast of St Francis, which was a great community event. Our local MP Frank Dobson and many town councillors came. “We had a good deal of support from Camden Council who had stalls promoting recycling and compost. I don’t understand why they they won’t allow us to put up our posters this year.” Mike Judge, a campaigning group for the Christian Institute, added: “Camden’s decision is ridiculous and most people will roll their eyes and shake their heads at it. It would be laughable, if it were not so serious. “But it is serious because it reveals a problem deep at the heart of too many public bodies. They think it’s OK to trample on Christianity in a way that they would never do with any other religious group. That complacency has to stop.” "

POPSDay of Prayer - No Biggie Aw shucks! James Dobson's disappointed. Just breaks my heart. After 8 years of a quasi-theocracy (mostly a smoke screen to appease the nutso base) we finally have a president how actually believes in getting things done instead of wasting time in meaningless demonstrations of religiosity.

POPSNear-death experiences: Heaven can wait Tunnels, bright lights, visions of the deceased. Do near-death experiences really offer a glimpse of the afterlife – or is there a more rational explanation? Roger Dobson reports

POPSThe Culture Warriors Get Laid Off "Here, at last, is one piece of good news in our global economic meltdown: Americans have less and less patience for the intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years. Culture wars are a luxury the country — the G.O.P. included — can no longer afford."

POPSAn Open Letter to President Obama About the Republicans (From a Former Republican) The Religious Right supply the kind of people who at McCain and Palin rallies were yelling things such as "kill him" about you. That's the constituency to which your hand was extended when looking for compromise on your financial bailout bill. There's only one thing that makes sense for you now. Mr. President, you need to forget a bipartisan approach and get on with the business of governing by winning each battle. You will never be able to work with the Republicans because they hate you. Believe me, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are the norm not the exception. James Dobson and the rest are praying for you to fail. The neoconservatives are gnashing their teeth and waiting for you to "sell out Israel" or "show weakness" in Afghanistan, whatever, so they can declare you a traitor.

POPSDisguised religion... More nonsense about honoring a "moment of silence" in schools. Why do people want this stuff institutionalized. Let kids so what they want with their time: but don't force everyone to contemplate shit they don't believe in...

POPSGlenn Beck and James Dobson cry out about the destruction of GOD "Beck extrapolates from this ruling that if GOD doesn't exist and GOD gives us our rights, then who gives you your rights? The States, maybe? I thought it came from our constitution, but that's just me. Anyway, WTF where they talking about in this video? (watch the video. I can't write that up) This ruling has nothing to do with our rights or the elimination of GOD. It's about keeping the separation of church and state intact." Heard the same nonsense here, from the usual sources.

POPSThe "Rick Warren Albatross" around Obama's neck Rick Warren thinks that while infidelity & abandonment are cause for divorce, spousal abuse is no . That's because wives are supposed to submit to their husband's leadership in all things. He can piss away the family money, beat you & the kids, yell and scream at you and call you a lying whore... just as long as he shows up to church on Sunday. Suck it up, Daughter of Eve. God has ordained your lot, and Pastor Rick is here to remind your husband of his rights over you. And you still can't be guy & join his church. This is who Obama picked to pray to a particular sky deity when being inaugurated as President of all citizens of the USA, religious or not . Obama gets to choose who he wants. But there are a whole lot of us who are not going to take it quietly, and in fact plan to continue shining a light on the kind of person Pastor Rick is. Hint: The difference between Rick & James Dobson (Rick tells us) is "tone".

POPSThe "Real" Rick Warren Don't believe the hype about Rick Warren being a cuddly, open-minded evangelical for the 21st century in a Hawaiian shirt. That's just wishful thinking on the media's part. On Sunday, in front of his congregation, he's the same draconian, Biblical literalist, woman-submits-to-her-husband, gays to the back of the bus, you're going to Hell if you don't worship my sky deity, religious fundamentalist as James Dobson & Jerry Fallwell. The kind who had such influence and access during the Bush years. Google "dominionism" and see what kind of iron claw is inside that velvet glove of Pastor Warren's. Don't believe the hype. Obama may be reaching out to this guy and his ilk. But I don't see any sign of reaching back. He's not trying to be what the media (and some Democrats) want him to be. But he's more than willing to use the exposure to push his agenda. I don't blame him for that. but I do blame the Obama camp for holding Warren up as something he's not.

POPSRick Warren is an insulting choice Or take marriage. At his Saddleback Church, wifely submission is official doctrine: The church website tells women to defer to their husband's "leadership" even when he's wrong on important issues, such as finances. Never mind if she's an accountant and he flunked long division, or if she wants to beef up the kids' college fund and he wants to buy shares in the Brooklyn Bridge. The godly answer is supposed to be "yes, dear." Is elevating this male chauvinist how President-elect Obama thanks women, who gave him more than half his votes? Obama to women, "Thanks for your vote, here's a kick in the teeth as your reward."

POPSObama's Choice.. Apparently, you're only allowed free choice when certain people like it. Fair weather supporters want what they want and will bitch and moan when they don't get exactly what they want. So much for 'inclusion' and 'diversity' and 'open discussion' spouted by the liberal far left.

POPSJames Dobson vs Kathleen Parker for the Soul of the GOP James Dobson is none too happy with Parker for not embracing the extremely radical values of Palin and is now urging his flock to go after Parker in his latest screed. So, Kathleen Parker has determined that getting rid of social conservatives and shelving the values they fight for is the solution to what ails the Republican Party (“Giving Up on God,” Nov. 19). Isn’t that a little like Benedict Arnold handing George Washington a battle plan to win the Revolution?

POPSObamas poor country formative education,blinkers OFF I recently heard Mick Dobson Aboriginal australian spokesman heartened by Obamas intention to embrace issues with the Indiginous Nations issues in USA.I hope like others that he is not blinkered to overseas exploitation of other indiginous cultures and walks the talk globally,, cherry picking will be the cowards way given his pride in statements that he grew up in the "poor" country till he was 10. That country has extremes between rich and poor and justice is often very expensive depending on colour and religion.Melanesians have no respect or rights and due to USA policy in cold war years had their self determination shredded by US and corrupt Sakano,s expansionist ambitions.

POPS"John McCain's Journey from Maverick to Liar" "For 18 months, Obama has wagered all his chips on the (quaint? idealistic? brilliant?) idea that the American people are tired of the same old sleazy and divisive politics. McCain has now chosen to bet against him."
