Evangelicals and Newt: Love Him or Hate Him?

By Sarah Posner

…The open letter, written on a blog that bears no names or footprints (the site registration is private), lambasts Vander Plaats not only for his association with Gingrich, but for accepting Gingrich’s help in securing $200,000 in “seed money” for his campaign to oust judges who had ruled in favor of gay marriage. There’s something odd, though, to my eyes, about the phrasing in the Iowans for Christian Leaders in Government materials. Like it wasn…

When Satire is Redundant

By Holly Welker

Eleven or twelve years ago, I wrote for a website of Mormon satire called the Sugar Beet, modeled on the Onion. Every writer there but me was active and had a temple recommend, so both personal conviction and editorial policy meant that there were a few topics that absolutely couldn’t be mocked, but any other aspect of Mormon culture was fair game. Some of the pieces I wrote had titles like “Vegas Win Attributed to Obedience to Law of Tithing” (…

Pop-Eye: Meat The Wrestler

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…soul in power, the body a mere marionette. Several of the religious review sites described Randy’s body in metaphorical terms: Randy’s heart attack was really a comment on his loneliness, a broken heart over his daughter’s estrangement, and the utter lack of any other community. Reviewers persisted in maintaining this dualism, that the double identities Randy and Cassidy both share ultimately want to get to some core non-physical identity, some ma…

The Return of Christian Terrorism

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…linics on the Eastern seaboard. Bray published a newsletter and then a Web site for his Christian anti-abortion movement, and published a book theologically justifying violence against abortion service providers, A Time to Kill. He is also alleged to be the author of the Army of God manual that provides details on how to conduct terrorist acts against abortion-related clinics. Recently Bray has publicly defended Paul Roeder, the Wichita assassin,…

Personhood USA says Romney would Permit “Death Penalty” for “Babies Conceived in Rape”

By Katie Toth

…wins the office of Vice President of the United States.” Romney’s campaign site claims he is “pro-life:” Mitt believes that life begins at conception and wishes that the laws of our nation reflected that view. But while the nation remains so divided, he believes that the right next step is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade – a case of blatant judicial activism that took a decision that should be left to the people and placed it in the…

Dear Timothy Keller: The “Evangelical” Problem isn’t Pollsters

By Jessica Johnson

…s ministry under the “Evangelical” banner of the religion and spirituality site Patheos. At Mars Hill, Driscoll bullied staff and preached a misogynistic doctrine while training men and planting churches with the blessing of Keller and to the benefit of The Gospel Coalition (TGC), which Keller co-founded in 2005 with Driscoll as a Council member. Keller, D. A. Carson, John Piper, and other Reformed TGC leaders not only profited from Driscoll’s pug…

No Buddhists in Washington?

By Danny Fisher

…-based and Neighborhood Partnerships (which just launched its official Web site) currently lacks a Buddhist representative, despite the presence of at least one appointee from the other four major world religions. That said, it bears mentioning that Buddhists have been conspicuously absent from many of the administration’s conversations about and efforts around religion in America. We were not included, for example, in President Obama’s inaugural…

The Real Reason For “Vagina-gate”

By Jerry Faught

…. “A Mannish Feel” Not surprisingly, pastor and theologian John Piper’s website featured a review of Evans’ book in which a female reviewer charges Evans with questioning the validity of the Bible and accuses her of “building a comfortable bridge for shaky evangelicals to find their way into theological liberalism.” For the reviewer a denial of inerrancy erodes the gospel. This is typical fundamentalism: accuse Evans of being a liberal who does no…

…ton summer sun. A contemporary example: this book was published in Kansas, site of one of the most recent ‘battles.’ Another: the ACLU, a brand-new organization in 1925, supports the Scopes defense in the name of academic freedom, the same grounds intelligent design supporters like those in Kansas now often use to argue their ideas should be taught in the science classroom! Reframing Scopes is a light, enlightening, educational and engaging read….
