POPSMasturbational INSANITY The mind too is attacked. The thrall to self-pollution “can no longer look people squarely and frankly in the face, but seeks to avoid meeting people, pulls down his cap to hide his eyes and goes about with a shy and guilty bearing. His memory fails him. His mind begins to lack grasp and grip. He slowly but surely ceases to be positive and self-reliant. Imbecility and insanity may, and often do come as the inevitable result.” When a boy injures his reproductive powers so that when a man his sexual secretion shall be of inferior quality, his offspring will show it in their physical, mental and moral natures, shaping the history and destiny of the nation.

POPSThe Arrogance of Uneducated Liberals An acquaintance of mine says PhD stands for "piled higher and deeper". I know a lot of purportedly highly intellegent and educated people who don't have enough sense to pour piss out of a boot. But I'll grant these "mental giants" one thing - - they have boundless quantities of pomposity and arrogance. Some fo the qualities possessed by the divine candidate, B. Hussein Obama

POPSMcCain in 2005: Gitmo Detainees Deserve Trials Or Should Be Released This clip contains direct quotes from McCain when he appeared on Meet the Press almost exactly three years ago and is easily referenced in the Lexis/Nexis. McCain is a blatant doublespeaker. He will say whatever is necessary to garner the support he wants. It's not about right or wrong for him, it's not about ethics, hell, it's not even about what the American people want. It's purely about playing the game for him and you simply can not trust a person whose doublespeak is as egregious as his. He doesn't even believe his own words, those being fed to him by the "divinity" of the masters who rule him.

POPSQuotations by Abraham Lincoln ""In religion, Mr. Lincoln was about of the same opinion as Bob Ingersoll, and there is no account of his ever having changed. He went to church a few times with his family while he was President, but so far as I have been able to find out, he remained an unbeliever. Mr. Lincoln in his younger days wrote a book, in which he endeavored to prove the fallacy of the plan of salvation and the divinity of Christ."

POPSChristian Science Monitor on Reverend Wright - Did Obama's Pastor Preach Hate?
What people hear depends on their own experience and worldview, says Teresa Brown, who teaches the art of preaching at Emory U. in Atlanta. "I listen to 60 sermons a week by black and white pastors, you can find something in almost any one that is offensive to somebody." The key as to whether language is hate speech lies in a preacher's overall message, according to Martin Marty, of the University of Chicago Divinity School and renowned historian of religion. Dr. Marty, who has visited Trinity many times, says, "If Wright only had whites in his searchlight, you might call it . But he goes after the men in his church" about fatherhood, he puts himself and his people under the prophetic spotlight. "The black church took the distorted version of Christianity that provided the religious justification for slavery, carved out the racist elements ..and implanted new content that actually moved Christianity in this country closer to Jesus' message," says Dr. Braxton.

POPSTexas Divinity school to award Rev Wright Many ignoble people are honored for many things in this country, why should the Wright Reverend Jeremiah be any different? When a nation extols the basest of society and elevates it to a point of honor than failure as a society is soon to follow. IMO

POPSHumanity, Divinity, and Beauty I wonder if this striking interpretation of aesthetics (one which I find quite appealing) still holds true in the cynicism of post modernism? Although it certainly can be found to echo in Kandinsky's "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" what of the later Deconstructivists, Marxists, and other self-styled "realists" who attacked the very idea of beauty? On the other hand, it may be that in these dark times our cynicism is spent and an idealistic revival of Romanticism might rise in response to the desperation and alienation that has become almost universally felt through the deep ideological conflicts marking the beginning of the 21st Century. Another thought: does not this empowered sense of self-determination ring true with the most admirable aspects of Existentialism? ...oh, and sorry for all the alliteration. Don't know how it snuck in there! :P

POPSTULIP blooming "Mohler said a deepening interest in theology is driving younger Southern Baptists to explore Reformed thinking, and he dismisses the fear of some that the budding Calvinist wing will tilt the SBC back toward its 19th-century anti-missionary movement."

POPSIs Language a Window into Human Nature? the way it parses the world around us, the way it uses shortcuts and assumptions would have served our hunter-gatherer ancestors well, but it is less than perfect for dealing with some of the problems we face in the 21st Century.

POPSChristians are Genocidal Maniacs!? The article is not actually asserting Christians are genocidal maniacs, but explaining how they could be viewed as such if news is selectively shoved down people's throats, as is the case with Islam.

POPSElectricity is the Divine Power It's all about quantum mechanics now. But thought it amusing to see how our nineteenth century ancestors harnessed eleectricity and magnetism as manifestations of divinity. Think they also used it to sell miracle cures.

POPSGod vs the Bible There is far to much knowledge at this site to do more than clip a few points that will be made. There is a lot of great information to be found here. As I've said before, no one can prove or disprove "a god" or "a creator", but we have ample evidence to show that the bible god is complete fiction.
