POPSFirst President could teach the 44th a few things. As we race toward another election and we consider our votes for the next occupant of the White House perhaps it would do us all well to travel back in time and remember the virtues that made this country great. Avoid political factions and entangling alliances sounds like good advice to me. Perhaps our current bunch of political leaders would do well to heed the words of America's founding father George Washington. Washington went on to say that popular government depended on virtuous citizens and that only religion, which in the American context meant Christianity, could inspire such selfless behavior. He frequently asserted that religion helped promote virtue, order, and social stability, and praised the efforts of churches to make people "sober, honest, and good Citizens, and the obedient subjects of a lawful government." What say you?

POPSACLU trying to control public prayer I thought the ACLU sought to protect people from the overreaching government and discrimination against religion, race, or creed. I guess I was mistaken. The mission statement of the ACLU states: The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees: Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. I wonder what changed?

POPSSalad Bar Christianity This is just another example of a man-made god. Taking the parts we like from all religious practices and mixing them together to form a hodgepodge of beliefs that Jesus warned against. Jesus declared unashamedly that he was the way the truth and the life not just one of many. Man loves to remake God into their own image, changing the absolute rightness of God for a rightness that suits each individual. The salad bar analogy works good here because the tendency of people is to take what they like and leave what they do not like. Most times it is the food that is best for us that we leave on the salad bar.

POPSGay Last Supper spurs controversy Sometimes we make much to do about nothing. Considering all the parodies in the world depicting art or movies or other iconic symbols this is just one of another examples of the type of people who participate in these activities. To think that the promoters of this event want people to look upon them as anti- Christian makes one pause to wonder why? I mean if I was promoting an event that I want to make mainstream why would I go out of my way to invoke ridicule by mocking mainstream? Could it be that is exactly how these people think? They really are not mainstream and they hate mainstream thinking and they want to be IN THE Face of mainstream America? If that is the case then I say do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Just to make it clear to the folks at Folsom Street Fair. The Christ of the Da Vinci original Last Supper died to forgive the most vilest of sinners yourself included. Perhaps you should embrace Him and not mock Him?

POPSIs Jesus the Only Savior? Today many question the idea that there is only one way to heaven (or that Christianity is the only true faith) -- even some people who identify themselves as Christians. In a world where we are likely to have neighbors of differing faiths, to profess Jesus as the only Savior may be viewed as arrogance and intolerance. Religious "pluralism" is gaining popularity. Many believe that there are many ways to salvation and that the biblical account of Jesus only is at best misquided and at worse bigoted. What do you think?
