POPSPope Reasserts Catholic Supremacy Over Protestants His Unholiness reasserts the pre-Reformation, tyrannical and usurping tradition of Papal authority and Roman Catholic supremacy as if Jesus Christ himself taught or authorized his ceremonial priest-craft and Latin Mass ( which is idolatry ), where his Blasphemy, through waving his magic wand and reciting Latin formula ( hocus pocus ) is able to (if you believe this) transform (transubstantiation) mere wafers of bread ("heil presto"--poof!) into the "body of Christ"! Jesus and the apostles never taught such superstition (which hails from Roman paganism, mixed well in its holidays and ecclesiastical hierarchy). The Pope is following the false teaching of Simon Magus, the sorcerer, instead of Simon Peter the apostle. Ritual, ceremony, miters, crosses, candles, pilgrimages, liturgies, and shepherd staffs all make a show of religion (tracing back to Babylonian religions) contrary to the writings of the new testament.

POPSThe Redacting Of Thomas Jefferson This is just a "tip of the iceberg" of the redacting and revising of documents and facts the Bush Neocon Administration have been busily churning out for the past 7-plus years. Will we ever see the WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH again? I am hopeful we will if Obama is elected, but I will say a jubilant Good Riddance to them all, come January 2009, no matter who is elected! thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSSorry, Tea Leaves Indicate a Leaking Teabag To get to the meat of this issue you'll have to delve deeper than this clip. Consider this clip a teaser only. So, you've had an "experience" that made you a believer? These are as common as dirt. What most people forget are the untold "misses" they've experienced in their lives. It's similar to the positive hits from prayer that gives believers such faith that their cosmic begging stuff is actually working! Read the piece and open your eyes. It takes a bit of effort but you'll find that you'll be able to see much better afterwards.

POPSWould Garlic Protect Us From the Courts? More insanity from Texas which seems to have more than its share. This superstitious stupidity really needs to end. This religious immunity from critical scrutiny has existed for too long. It's time to begin shinning a light on these barbaric practices practiced by this death cult.

POPSSC: Land of Gawd? Are these folks so brain dead that they just don't get it? Evidently not. They keep trying to inject their own particular superstition into government and they keep failing. Reminds me of the adage of the crazy person persisting in the same activity and expecting differing results.

POPSAnother Story of Religious Child Abuse More bone headed tales of misguided cult followers believing muttering pleas to their invisible friend will magically cure disease. Unfortunately, in this case, the recipient of the "prayer treatment" died for no reason. And because of religious brainwashing the 16 year old agreed to this non-treatment. Sad indeed.

POPSPope Mesmerizes Bush Toward Catholicism, Religion of Tyrants
Not surprising considering his religious superstition, theological ignorance, and false Christian views of war (contrary to Christian principles of "Just Wars" of self defense alone) and worship of democracy as a means of saving the world through military Crusades. He would fit right in with tyrants of Holy Roman Empires of the past. The Tower of St. John impressed him--Rome mesmerizes its ignorant victims through superstition, priest-craft, and relics and symbols, without which it is essentially empty. By the way, this is not to let pagans escape, for some of them were also among the greatest tyrants of imperial wars as well--i.e. Alexander the Great (who was a bisexual pedophile), Caligula, Nero, Pharaohs of Egypt and Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to name a few. Babylon the Great is typified in the Bible as a final world empire that will be destroyed, headed by a false Christian leader, whom the Reformers believed were Roman Popes but would also fit false Christian presidents

POPSBaptists on the decline... could it be... ...that people are waking up to the fact that religion is based on superstition and the desire of one group of people to control others? When you can say "god wants you to do this" -- and you believe in god -- it makes it easy.

POPSEinstein: Jews not Choosen People He declined an invitation to become Israel's second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people. "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," he said. "And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people." And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

POPSHonor Killing - Religion at Work We always hear of cultural preservation. Maybe we ought to hear more of cultural castigation. Aspects of some cultures are so primitive, so mired in backwards, ignorant superstition that they deserve to be derided and scorned by all peoples of more enlightened cultures. This story sickens me on many levels.

POPSEternalism, Nihilism: new forms, old superstition <<<Throughout the Buddha's long period of teaching the Dhamma to His followers, He actively discouraged speculative arguments. During the 5th century B.C. India was a veritable hive of intellectual activity where scholars, yogis, philosophers, kings and even ordinary householders were constantly engaged in the philosophical arguments pertaining to human existence. Some of these were either ridiculously trivial or totally irrelevant. Some people wasted valuable time arguing at great length about all manner of subjects. They were far more concerned about proving their powers in mental gymnastics than seeking genuine solutions to the problems that beset humanity.>>>

POPSBirmingham Builds Bridge to 12th Century In keeping with the image of the regressive South the Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama decided that the best way to fight a rising crime rate was to don biblical costumes and ask his invisible friend for help. Is it any wonder the rest of the nation views the South with scorn and ridicule? I live in the South and I hold that sad view too. But I do like the climate!

POPSThose Wacky Africans Another demonstration of how irrationality and superstition affects peoples lives. To most people this story will seem preposterous. To people caught in a web of magic and superstition it may seem mainstream. One man's folly is another man's religion.

POPSMcCain a Superstitious Paranoid, Fit to be President? ..and fully admitted. If "character matters" is this considered mental stability? The most dangerous leaders in the world are marked by unstable and irrational traits like this that lead to impulsive emotional decisions. He is also known for his fits of temper and has the policy marks of a megalomaniac to further global neocon war plans. The comments following the article are well worth reading.

POPSBlack Death Anniversary Certainly a defining moment in world history. It's interesting that present day fundamentalists such as Falwell are still using the same arguments that their 14th century counterparts employed. You'd think that after 600+ years they'd have learned something.

POPSWhy Italians grab their crotches These days, an Italian man might also grab his crotch in risky situations, like a high-stakes poker game. In such cases, the grab isn't a defense mechanism against bad luck but rather a way to generate good luck. Once again, this practice relates to the folk belief that the phallus is auspicious because it's the source of masculinity and reproduction.
