Christians and Cage Fighting, From “Fight Church” to Mark Driscoll

By Jessica Johnson

…on in the cage. The film’s style evokes an undercurrent that involves and exceeds directors Daniel Junge and Bryan Storkels’ goal “to tell this entertaining story in a completely objective tone.” Placing their film in context, they suggest that “Like the Oscar-nominated Jesus Camp, the film will present these incredibly provocative characters in an objective and often sympathetic light. We will ask the audience to come to their own conclusions abo…

Books Must be Hardbound, Quotes Whole, and Genitalia Scrubbed

By Joseph Laycock

…ent union authorities. Once again, the claim was not that atheists cannot express themselves, but that the posters did not to comply with the union’s standards. The posters featured a parody of Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” in which God has been replaced with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The initial objection was that Adam’s genitals were visible. But when SBAS representatives offered to blur out the offending genitalia, they were told that a…

True Blood: When Marketing Goes For the Jugular

By Joseph Laycock

…ering that it’s clearly stated that a vampire is writing this blog, the faux aspect of it really isn’t hidden.” The problem with this defense is that there is a community of self-identified vampires, which existed long before Charlaine Harris wrote her first vampire novel (and many vampires actually do write blogs). Furthermore, HBO is aware of this community, and attempted to bring it into the viral marketing campaign. During my research for Vamp…

American Fever: A Tale of Romance and Pestilence

By Michael A. Elliott

…s the “outbreak narrative,” stories of disease in popular culture. As she explains, these stories always take on the social anxieties of their moment—from the anti-immigrant sentiment that surrounded Typhoid Mary to the contemporary concerns of globalization. The emergence of disease, she writes, “dramatizes the dilemma that inspires the most basic of human narratives: the necessity and danger of human contact.” Stories of disease are also frequen…

Fragments of Secular Sanctity

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…t Peter’s. Less than a decade later in 1761, Benedict’s successor, Clement XIII, ordered the creation of a Profane Museum (Museo Profano) inside the Vatican itself. This is all very early, fully a generation before the explosion of Classical art museums in other European capitals, and virtually all of these later museums were modeled on their Vatican predecessor. Two things are worth noting about this novel creation at the Vatican. First, there is…

Who’s Afraid of Sacred Soccer?

By Gary Laderman

…ligious, according to The Hold Steady; a recent Los Angeles Times article explores how celebrity doctors blur the lines between faith and obsession; and in a recent RD interview, a pilgrimage to the desert can be alive with religious possibilities. The unvarnished truth is that when it comes to religion, the rules of the media game have changed dramatically in the last decade—assuming that there are, in fact, any rules left to change. Up until ver…

Sex Miseducation: Prof Fired for Pushing Catholic ‘Natural Law’

By Janine Giordano Drake

…ppropriate for discussion in the university classroom, outside of the context of its extensive critique as a matter of social justice. Conservative Protestants, Catholics and Jews in the early twentieth century put up a great fight against the army of “moderns” who promoted birth control. Margaret Sanger, chief writer for the Birth Control Review, chief organizer behind many Birth Control Leagues and the Birth Control Federation of America (which…

Talking Prop. 8: Of Rites and Rights

By Peter Laarman

…wn to whether believers can integrate new information without their heads exploding. Exploding heads is exactly what we now see among the pro-8 leaders, it goes without saying. They are left stammering and gibbering in much the same way that family values champion David Blankenhorn was left stammering and gibbering at the trial, as the judge systematically demolished his “findings” about the superiority of opposite-sex parents. What I mainly take…

Obama’s Faith-Based Office=The Kremlin?

By Sarah Posner

….” I wish Mr. DuBois would start off my morning with explanations of what exactly that Office is doing—a never-ending source of confusion, and even awe, among reporters, policy analysts and professors in Washington, DC. Ouch. Of course at a platitude-fest designed no doubt to quell the Muslim-rumors-that-won’t-die, Obama would surely include high praise for the faith-based office. Its main selling point, as yet unproven, is that it helps faith-bas…

Amid Horrors, Muslim ‘John Hancocks’ Forge Secular Sudan

By Frederick Clarkson

…out an approaching famine that could impact a half million people, vastly exacerbating the existing humanitarian crisis. At this writing, the Khartoum regime continues to bar reporters and even most international humanitarian aid groups from entering the country. Human rights groups have called on the international community to mount a dramatic cross-border, emergency humanitarian aid operation; though there is no indication at this point that any…
