Hayworth: Just Say “Neigh” to Gay Marriage

…rimary in Arizona, has taken up the Santorum mantle, asserting in an interview on Orlando, Florida’s WORL that gay unions could lead to “man-horse” wedding ceremonies: “You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage — now get this — it defined marriage as simply, ‘the establishment of intimacy,’” Hayworth said. “Now how dangerous is that? I mean, I don’t mean to be absurd abo…

2012 Film Heralds Progressive Utopia, No Effort Required

“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism,” critic Fredric Jameson famously mused. This explains why the year 2012 envisioned by Roland Emmerich’s blockbuster, with its gargantuan fireballs and solar cataclysms, seems more plausible than the prophecy put forth by the latest entry in the rush to doomsday, 2012: Time for Change. Rather than mass destruction, it predicts that in two years, we will abandon our smart pho…

Billy Graham Is Probably Not the Author of His Own “Final Chapter”

In a blog post that made waves in the Christian press last week, Billy Graham warns churches to “prepare for persecution.” Message aside, determining whether or not the nearly 97-year-old evangelist actually issued this warning himself is another matter.

…ng for LGBTQ justice in anticipation of Tuesday’s oral arguments in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Last month, I joined nearly 1,300 religious leaders in telling the Supreme Court, via amicus brief, that religious beliefs do not give businesses the right to discriminate. As faith leaders, our religious traditions call us to weigh in on pressing social questions, but we do so at the risk of being considered “overly politi…

Feeding the Hungry vs. Antigay Activism: A Double Standard for Religious Freedom?

If you’ve watched the news or been on social media at all this past week, you’ve by now probably heard that, along with two other ministers, 90-year-old WWII veteran Arnold Abbot, was arrested last week in Fort Lauderdale, FL for feeding the homeless, which he has done for over 20 years through his organization Love Thy Neighbor. Created in 1991 as a tribute to his wife, LTN provides, among other things food, shelter, and counseling to Broward Co…

Gay Judge’s Prop. 8 Decision Holds

A U.S. District Court judge has denied a motion by Proposition 8 supporters in California to vacate the ruling against the ballot measure because the judge in the case is gay. Last August, Judge Vaughn Walker struck down Prop 8, which repealed the legalization of same-sex marriage in California by defining marriage as between one man and one woman. In his opinion, he wrote: “Moral disapproval alone is an improper basis on which to deny rights to…

Fact-checking Scripture: “Those who do not work should not eat.”

…cy. The citations are as a rule fairly shallow, as one side or the other tries to leverage the moral authority of scripture. Sometimes, though, it’s a bit more interesting. Which brings us to a Washington Post report by Caitlin Dewey: One lawmaker is citing a godly reference to justify changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Tex.) recently quoted the New Testament to question the strength of current work r…

As a “Cult Leader” Disgraced Pastor Mark Driscoll Does Not Rank

Mark Driscoll used Pacific Northwest aesthetics to kindle an audience for Mars Hill Church’s conservative, neo-Reformed dogma. Now, Seattle’s creative community is tamping him down with wet newspaper. Earlier this month, the city’s arts rag Seattle Weekly released a “Comic History of Northwest Cults,” counting the disgraced megachurch pastor as just the most recent in a long line of religious charlatans. Among SW’s wall of shame: Franz Edmund Cre…
