POPSMatthew Shepard Act At Risk! Please Support You have read a portion of the story regarding Matthew Shepard's death. The hate crimes act is now under attack by anti-gay conservatives and the far right Christian conservatives. Please take time and contact your representatives in support of the Hate Crimes Act. This act helps enforce penalties on persons convicted of committing hate crimes against the GLBT Community. Please help support HUMAN RIGHTS! Thank you so very much!

POPSStill Remembering Matthew Shepard And The Hate That Yet Exists This story is only one where hate has taken a life. I don't believe that Jesus would approve of such torture nor have a reason to torture. Many fundamentalist Christians feel they have a moral obligation to carry out such attacks. Their hate is the 'real sin'. Their lack of love is the real sin. Their murders are the real sin. We are all one in Christ Jesus!

POPSLiberal Christians Separation of Church and State is a MUST! Without this separation is to go against the Constitution and integrating politics and religion into one entity is communistic.

POPSQuaker Earth Care Witness/religion Along my path orf finding spirituality, I believe in this organization and faith. Again, I am an Eclectic Christian and am not bound to one organized religion. I believe in spirituality, which for me includes The United Church Of Christ, Liberal Quakerism, Orthodox Quakerism, mystisism and earth based reverance that celebrates God's creation. The use of crystals and other pagan / new age methods is not outside my life's journey. Christ abhored strict adherance to the customary Jewish Law. All are now free!

POPSYULE I wish that I could have clipped more of this article to reference the many pagan traditions that were adopted by Christianity. Merry Yule!

POPSGreen Man I find all religions to be respected and researched. Many pagan religions were integrated into Christianity. Consider the various holidays we celebrate and more!

POPSI AM WHO I AM A clear message to all those fundamentalist Christians and bigots that claim being gay is a sin. Ignorance is the beginning of hate and hate is not a family value!

POPSComparisons! I found these pieces of art to be very closely linked. The general theme of them are about equally the same.

POPSChrist And Nature Spirituality Discussion I am a believer in Christ Jesus and recognize Him as my personal Lord and Savior, but I too have a reverence for nature and feel drawn to incorporate this feeling in worship and praise. I believe in Christo Paganism/Eclectic Spirituality. I am intrigued by Shamanism, Native American beliefs, Wicca, Druidism, and other earth based religions.

POPSNature Screams God! I loved these photos enough to share with you. Too bad I could not get all the captions that went with them. NATURE SCREAMS GOD! I love the message that these photos project. Enjoy!

POPSGod's Creation Admiring all of God's creation brings us closer to His love. We should respect what He has created with reverence and praise. To Him we owe thanks for every leaf, rock, grain of sand, the animals and all things placed here for us to enjoy. Each and every thing that exists upon the earth and throughout the cosmos are His. We are a part of this whole creation. God in nature is a strong spirituality! Some would consider this a Christo Pagan way of thinking and if so, I am Christo Pagan.

POPSThoughts About Jesus I believe that Jesus would encourage people to build their faith upon love of God and others in whatever manner one selects or is drawn to. I see nothing wrong with being an Eclectic Christian or Christo Pagan. The combining of the spiritual outweighs the formalities of following rigid laws that Jesus taught were impossible to keep to obtain God's grace.

POPSThe Seven Angels Being Christo Eclectic, I find the Angels of God to be an integral part of my spirituality. I do not worship these heavenly beings but believe they are part of God's creation and assigned to be with us through difficult times and all times. Each plays a different role in our lives. Each is unique and is given his/her own powers that are meant to be of help and guidance to us.

POPSFundamentalist Christians; A point of view I agree with precepts that Fundamentalist Christians are trying to impose their standards of morality upon the whole of the United States, causing division. The concept of creationism and evolution is a personal decision among all people and each person's beliefs should be respected. Remember, separation of church and state!! Freedom to believe one theory is the right of all people! Fundamentalism is out of control with their agenda to push their beliefs upon others and integrate it into the Federal Government, State Government, Local Government causing great conflict and much harm on society.
