POPSTheist Quotes - a collection from various forums This doesn't even scratch the surface! Most of it is hilarious, and sad, that people can be so intellectually impoverished. I left off the names because they are probably embarrassing by now, assuming these people have improved their thinking. But the site (and shown here is a very short sample) credits the source and the person (otherwise you might not believe it with your own eyes)!

POPSscience/theology coming together I have only clipped a very short piece but this article goes deeply into the subject. I find my religion needs scientific confirmation or at least is basically rational

POPSRomney Won't Expose Cult You can be sure that Romney's reluctance to disclose details of his his particular delusion is not an arbitrary decision. If the general public knew details of his wacky beliefs I'm sure they'd all have second thoughts about his ability to make sound, rational choices. Oh wait! You say most of the people here believe in talking snakes and magic fruit? They'll not find the whole Smith scam story suspect? Well, never mind.........

POPSRespect for People - Criticism for Ideas "What is most important in our sharing of beliefs is that we not become judgmental, cynical or mean spirited . No one should suggest that atheists are somehow "bad" or uncaring. Also, no one should suggest that believers are weak minded and living a fantasy. Respect is the operative word." The author is confusing respect for an individual person for respect for an idea. By doing so I suspect he hopes to deflect criticism of theology altogether. A careful reading also indicates that he is getting set up to unveil a defense of Intelligent Design.

POPSWorld "Nut" Daily - Usual Tripe I literally laughed out loud after reading the above statement stating how D'Souza used "science" to refute Hitchens. The WND lives up to its reputation of dogma over intelligence by printing this drivel. The tired argument that D'Souza puts forth relies of the argument of improbability, the stock in trade of the ID/Creationist crowd. Although I expect some mouth breathers might find this so startlingly "scientific" cause it refers to numbers and other sciencey stuff that it'll go over big in the church pews. As far as people with even a rudimentary knowledge of science will discover that this is merely another pseudoscience attempt to refute evolution. It's been discredited in too many sources to list. But hey, it's the World Nut Daily. Enough said...

POPSTheocracy? Is This Good for America? Click on the link and view the embedded video to gain an awareness of the total wackiness of these people. Make no mistake about it, these people are intent on making this a Christian Nation. And if your "brand" of Christianity doesn't conform with what they deem appropriate you're as much on the outside as any non-believer. Maybe those depicted in the video are not of the Fred Phelps ilk, they are much more of a danger because of their numbers and organizational influence in politics. You've been warned!

POPSTheocrasy and Bigotry This anti-gay sentiment seems to be very strong in Africa. With all the problems this poor continent has they really must focus on issues that matter instead of bigoted and backwards notions on sexuality.

POPSEpiscopals and Gays Perhaps Episcopals might take a hint from Ahmadinejad and simple state there are no gays in the Episcopal church. Problem solved!

POPSAtheists Need to Chill Michael Shermer makes a point that needs to be made. Atheists need to remember what they stand for , not merely what they are against . Ridicule and contempt have no place in science, and haters should not tarnish its reputation by association. In the words of the greatest consciousness raiser of the 20th century, Martin Luther King, Jr., in his epic "I Have a Dream" speech: "In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline." If atheists do not want theists to prejudge them in a negative light, then they must not do unto theists the same.

POPSAre You Ready? This propaganda clip from 1941 about the impending rapture is good for a chuckle. The clip starts with the question: “Are you ready for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ? The greatest prophecy in the bible is not far from fulfillment!” I guess they had a very flexible definition of “not far”. It then describes the terrible problems we heathens will face when the rapture occurs… massive train crashes, walking zombies and… gasp… no milk deliveries! (hey, hang on, that last one has already happened!). Perhaps the worst consequence is that housework will remain undone because Christian maids have been taken to Heaven. WTF? Did someone just call us heathens lazy? -- heathen.tv
