POPS"How Grimoires Work"
continues Indeed, they seem so ridiculous that they encourage scorn concerning the whole subject. Is this ridicule valid? i don't think it is.: Perhaps we should look beyond the words and instructions, and see what is really going on in such instruction. And the first point to be raised is the 'leap of faith'. This is an absolute knowing that a belief system is true. It ignores reason, and takes the believer to a oneness with whatever system is being believed in.

POPS'There Is Absolutely No Reason for Islamophobia' Calls like that are welcome news to Yunus Ulusoy from the Center for Turkish Studies in Essen, which keeps track of the religiosity of Turkish Muslims. It's a demand, Ulusoy says, "that we've been making for decades because, for Muslims, faith is a very important part of their identity." In his opinion, if the school system doesn't pay any attention to this fact, it only hurts the chances of successfully integrating Muslims into German culture.

POPSChina Determines American Banks Are Unsafe Investment Thanks to America's unethical corporate practices, inattentive regulators and distracted politicians whose favors are being bought by corporate lobbyists, it only took Bush/Cheney and their gang less than eight years to destroy foreign relations so completely that countries are beginning to back away from the U.S. banking system.
