Keep These Satanists Out of Congress!

By Joseph Laycock

…that lives in the real world, not in Colleen’s fantasy world.” As in this latest instance, statements made “in character” were presented out of context. In any case, the strategy backfired. Not only did Lachowicz win the election, but outraged gamers around the country donated $6300 to political action committees that supported her campaign. This most recent incident shows that appealing to fears of deviant hobbies is still a strategy in the Repu…

Along Came a Spider: What the Pope Doesn’t See

By Anthea Butler

…If you think this is a script from a porn movie, think again: this is the latest escapade from the Archdiocese of Miami, encapsulated in the headline from the Miami Herald “Ex-Stripper: Priest is my baby’s father—and I want him to pay.” Before I go south and start to write this whole piece with quotes from songs (“That’s Just My Baby Daddy” comes to mind) I am struck with disgust about where the Catholic church, and lately Miami’s Archdiocese in…

Marxism, the Opium of the Professoriate?

By Theo Hobson

…ianity in the face of the new atheism—though he is not a Christian. In his latest book, Why Marx was Right, he is advocating the creed he has always signed up to, Marxism. But he fails to convince that he really believes it. The book is structured around ten conventional objections to Marxism: that it has lost its relevance, that it is violent, that it overvalues economics, that it is impossibly perfectionist, that it neglects identity politics, a…

Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith Spouts Christian Nationalism Defending Racist Voter Suppression

By Andrew L. Seidel

…s historically used by Black churches to get out the vote. Hyde-Smith, the latest in a long and shameful line of senators from Mississippi—including mediocrities such as Theodore Bilbo and James Vardaman—rose to defend the measure that seeks to make it harder for people to vote if they don’t look like her. And she turned to a Christian Nationalist motto and the Bible to justify her defense of disenfranchisement. “Georgia is a Southern state just l…

Malawi Catholic Bishops Call For Enforcement of Sodomy Law; Ukrainian Thugs Disrupt Equality Festival Opposed by Orthodox Church; Indonesian Islamists Continue Rhetorical War on LGBTs; Global LGBT Recap

…right to compromise with sin.” “We cannot and will not remain silent when promoted sin is corrupting the human soul and body,” the bishop wrote, saying it was especially inappropriate for the event to take place during Lent. The bishop also emphasized “that we do not bless our faithful to take part in any protests” and urged against temptation “to aggression or condemnation of others.” (English via Google translate) Event organizers released a st…

Off That (Rationalist Anthem)

By Lauri Lebo

Here’s the latest provocative hip-hop video from self-described rap troubadour Baba Brinkman in which he blasts pseudo-science and irrationality. A Chaucer scholar who started out rapping the Canterbury Tales, lately he’s been branching out into the world of science and religion. In 2008, the Vancouver artist developed the utterly brilliant Rap Guide to Evolution. I met him last year while he and I were on a tour in the U.K. in celebration of the…

A Pair of Courts Issue Revolutionary Rulings on LGBT Equality: One Scathing, One Beautiful

By Sunnivie Brydum

…school student Gavin Grimm’s case, is understandably disappointed with the latest development, he stressed that Grimm has already made an indelible mark on history. “We will never be able to measure the extent to which Gavin [Grimm] changed the course of history,” Strangio wrote on Sunday. “Change is simply not quantifiable in that way. But what is impossible to deny is how, over the past six months as Gavin’s story captivated the public, we all l…

Resolved: Obama Can’t Win Even Young Evangelicals

By Sarah Posner

In the latest episode of my Bloggingheads program, I talked with Matt Anderson, author of the book Earthen Vessels (which he describes as a theology of the body for evangelicals) and lead writer for the blog Mere Orthodoxy. Our starting point was Andrew Sullivan’s much-discussed cover story on Christianity, but the conversation took us in some really fascinating directions. In this segment Matt discusses how the Obama administration, and in parti…

Schools Should Compete for Cash, Obama Says

By Peter Laarman

…Steven Greenhouse reports in the New York Times on forced wage cuts as the latest employment trend. The ongoing punishment of working people—forcing wage earners with middle-class incomes back into working poverty—is taking place even as our elites treat themselves to ever-sweeter luxuries. I won’t comment on Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to a hedge fund manager, or on Michelle Obama’s time away at Spain’s most expensive resort, except to say that one…
