New Age Tragedy in Sedona: Non-Indians in the Sweat Lodge

By Johnny P. Flynn

…ligion to American culture. Non-Indians have been making a lucrative business out of the appropriation of Native ceremonies for years. Ray’s weeklong event in Sedona cost each participant more than $9,000. A search of any number of Web sites advertising these “Indian ceremonies” will turn up sweat lodges that average over $100 per event, and four-day “vision quests” going for around five hundred dollars, “all meals included” and “Visa and MasterCa…

The Islamophobia Dodge of the Religious Freedom Pledge

By Sarah Posner

…um’s endorsement of Muslim profiling, he told me that “we’re happy to discuss the pledge, but not to comment on individual candidates’ stance on issues. We’re not experts in each candidates stance or statements on every issue. We do want candidates to pledge to upholding religious freedom for people of all faiths which of course includes Muslims.” But when I asked Dykstra if I could interview an Open Doors representative about the pledge in light…

Talking Prop. 8: Of Rites and Rights

By Peter Laarman

…nt landmark case to watch. I’d like to start out by asking Candace to discuss how religion has been a powerful obstacle for gays and lesbians, and to think about the implications surrounding Judge Walker’s discussion of gender roles. Peter Laarman will follow by discussing Judge Walker’s assertion that the belief in the difference (and inferiority) of same-sex couples is a belief formed solely by religious and moral ideas and will also comment on…

Federal Judge Declares Prop. 8 “Unconstitutional”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…his decision that the ban is unconstitutional, violating both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment : Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has n…

About That “Pledge in Solidarity to Defend Marriage”

By Sarah Posner

…of far too many others, these self-styled civil rights champions liken a possible Supreme Court decision in favor of marriage equality to the Dred Scott decision. That’s right, while young, black, unarmed men are disproportionately brutalized by law enforcement, these defenders of “life” compare the dehumanization of black people to some imagined infringement of their rights should gays and lesbians be granted the right to get married. “We will vi…

Christian Nationalist Judge Strikes Down FDA-Approved Abortion Pill for Brazenly Ideological Reasons

By Andrew L. Seidel

…erruled that longstanding decision in what can only be described as a lawless and nakedly partisan decision. This isn’t his first such decision this year. The opinion mentions conspiracy theories, and eugenics slander, and says things like, “mifepristone to kill the unborn human.” As Slate’s Mark Stern put it, the judge “essentially copied and pasted the arguments from [right-wing legal advocacy group] ADF’s brief, rephrasing them as analysis. He…

Conservative Judge Suing ‘Daily Beast’ for ‘QAnon-linked’ Headline Thought QAnon Pod Was ‘Aimed at Christian Audience’ — Spoiler: It Was

By Chrissy Stroop

…er to come into question,” she added, denying that she would deliberately associate herself with a discredited and frankly absurd conspiracy theory. However, Judge Patrick’s claim that she “didn’t know anything else about any conspiracy theories” is much harder to accept at face value, given that she evidently subscribes to the kind of charismatic, spiritual warfare-focused Christianity that I would argue is inherently conspiratorial. The podcast…

Gay Judge’s Prop. 8 Decision Holds

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…hat rendered him incapable of making an impartial decision, is as warrantless as the presumption that a female judge is incapable of being impartial in a case in which women seek legal relief. The move by ProtectMarriage.com was an obvious Hail Mary attempt to get the ruling nullified. Their reaction has been pretty typical—now training their sights on Judge Ware—pointing to a story that the judge “misrepresenting himself as the brother of a boy k…

Not a ‘Weenie-A** Lodge’: James Ray Trial Begins

By Johnny P. Flynn

…guru and author James Ray, prosecutor Sheila Polk played tapes of Ray discussing with participants the sweat lodge they were about to encounter—some for the first time. This is not a “weenie-ass lodge,” Ray was heard to say on the tapes, a statement he apparently held fast to as one participant passed out and fell and burned his arm on the red-hot stones. Ray asked him to come back into the lodge to finish the sweat. The trial finished its first w…

When Religion Kills: The Narco-Traffickers of the Borderlands

By Luis Leon

…a Man’s Soul, was required reading for La Familia. While Eldredge has expressed “sorrow and anger” at the news that his book has found such devoted readers in La Familia, his unique theological focus on male bonding and heroism was evidently just the thing for a gang of “knights” in search of a chivalric code. “Very Dangerous Men” The best-selling Christian author received his master’s degree in counseling from Colorado Christian University in 200…
