POPSFlorida Court ets Athiest Holy Day ;) The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned." You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!

POPSA White House Sedar? WTF? Yesterday, President Obama and guests celebrated Passover the first Passover Seder at the White House. WTF? So should we now have a Muslim service? A Catholic Mass? A Southern Baptist Easter Service? And although Westerns don't take other religions too seriously, what about the Hindus? the Buddhist? Shinto believers? Native American Tepee events? Not to mention the atheist, agnostics and others might feel left out. The nation is sinking in a swamp of attempts to promote religious wars religious based controversial issues and hosting official religious services (not just a 2-minute prayer or something) is going in the way wrong direction. One good Constitutional principle of the USA (among others) is the separation of church and state and now instead of shedding these influences politics is invaded with them and panders to them. Not a good omen. *&* The clip here is about past lobbying of the White House by a group called: Christians United for Israel. (and

POPS Will Islam Return Obama's 'Respect'? This is an eloquent description of ecumenical civility. In reality, the experience of Arab Christians living now amid majority Islamic populations is often repression, arrest, imprisonment and death. Coptic Christians in Egypt have been singled out for discrimination and persecution. Muslim rioters often burn or vandalize their churches and shops. In Turkey, the Syriac Orthodox Church (its 3,000 members speak Aramaic, the language of Christ) is battling with Turkish authorities over the lands around the Mor Gabriel monastery, built in 397. Pakistan's recent peace deal with the Taliban in the Swat Valley puts at risk the 500 Christians still trying to live there. Many fled after Islamic extremists bombed a girls' school late last year. Pakistan has never let them buy land to build a church. In 1995, the Saudis were allowed to build a mosque in Rome near the Vatican, but never reciprocated with a Christian church in their country.

POPS A Celebration of the Sun, and the Earth The ritual fell this year on the morning of the start of Passover, the key spring festival in Judaism that marks the Jews' liberation from Egyptian slavery millennia ago. Many Birkat HaChamah ("Blessing of the Sun" in Hebrew) events wove in something Jews do on the day of the first Passover seder, or ritual meal: going through the house in search of chametz -- crumbs of leavened bread -- because eating bread and grains is forbidden during the eight-day holiday. Occurring Once Every 28 Years, a Jewish Solar Ritual Reflects Its Times, Which This Year Include a Broader Concern for Nature

POPSWhat is Birkat Hachamah? The existence of nearly all life on Earth is fueled by light from the sun. Every morning without fail, the sun rises in the east and bathes us with its sustaining rays, causing flora to grow and, through the process of photosynthesis, providing oxygen for all fauna

POPSWarning! Passover Family Pack: Everything You Need to Enjoy a Passover Seder Dinner" is Christian! Unfortunately I couldn't clip it all, so go to the link to read it. "Rabbi Tovia Singer, director of Outreach Judaism, warned, "Despite the innocent-sounding title 'Passover Family Pack: Everything You Need to Enjoy a Passover Seder Dinner,' the guide quickly departs from the traditional holiday message once it is opened." "The 'Passover Kit' is an insidious tool Christian organizations use to convert Jewish people," declared Singer, who also urged buyers to lobby booksellers' corporate offices to remove the publication from Judaism publications lists."

POPSCarter's Hamas Talks Could Aid Exodus to Peace
In a larger sense, the view of Hamas as a party so evil that no one may even talk with it keeps many Jews in a state of spiritual slavery. It reinforces their long-standing habit of defining Jewish identity primarily in terms of radical vulnerability, as if the only meaningful way to be Jewish were to stand firm against an enemy and always be ready to shoot at that enemy. This slavery is especially tragic because it is self-imposed. It arises not from objective perception of facts imposed from outside, but from choices that Jews themselves make, choices that Jimmy Carter calls them to reconsider. So this Baptist leader, more than anyone else, can now claim the title of a modern-day Moses, willing to lead the Jews from slavery to freedom. Carter stands as a fine example of what the ancient rabbis called "a righteous gentile." A growing number of Jews, in Israel and the U.S., publicly agree with Carter that Israel must reach a peace agreement with a Palestinian government represent
