POPSGovernor's Office Deluged With Calls On Atheist Sign In Capitol Rotunda The Capitol has had a holiday tree, provided by the Association of Washington Business, for 19 years. In 2006, it was joined by a menorah sponsored by a Seattle Jewish group. That prompted a lawmaker from Spokane to stage a protest at the Capitol, demanding the holiday tree be called a "Christmas tree." It also led a local real estate agent to sue the state to allow the nativity display depicting the birth of Jesus. Gregoire, a Democrat, and Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna put out a joint statement Wednesday noting that the federal lawsuit led the state to create a policy allowing groups to sponsor a display "regardless of that individual's or group's views."

POPSAd Campaign Fights Back I didn't miss the irony inherent in this story. The opening paragraph tags Dawkins as a "firebrand" yet the message struck me as a bit tepid, While definitionally correct (and some might even argue that point) the claim that there "probably" is no god struck me as a comment carefully chosen to cast the least amount of controversy.

POPSGod is not in the U.S. Constitution The only acknowledgment of God in the original Constitution is a utilitarian one: the document is dated “in the year of our Lord 1787.” Even the religion clause of the First Amendment is framed dryly and without reference to any particular faith. The Connecticut ratifying convention debated rewriting the preamble to take note of God’s authority, but the effort failed.

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?

POPSDarwin's defense of missionaries It is so ironic that Darwin holds a position of evil with so many christian religions. But because he presented an idea that they didn't like then he, of course, is presented as being in league with satan.
