By Peter Montgomery

…st month we noted the creation of The NALT Christians Project, which is an online platform inviting LGBT-affirming Christians to tell the world via video that all Christians aren’t like the anti-gay religious figures prominent in the public arena. Today, the project’s founders, including Christian author John Shore and his wife Catherine and activist Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out, held a news conference at the National Press Club to pre-empt the…

Anti-Gay Marriage NOM Documents Reveal Racial Wedge Strategy and More

By Peter Montgomery

…ign finance practices – were released yesterday afternoon. HRC posted them online. For those who follow NOM, the documents aren’t particularly surprising, as we have witnessed their plans being put into operation over the past few years. But there is still something remarkable about seeing their strategies – including racial wedge politics – laid out so clearly, as well as NOM’s taking credit for passage of Prop 8 in California and the anti-marria…

Misdiagnosing Nationalism as ‘Christian’ Exacerbates the Challenges of Islamophobia: A Response to Murali Balaji

By John W. Morehead

…a 74-page document on the internet. According to J.M. Berger, an expert in online extremism, Tarrant’s manifesto is “clearly a statement of ideology,” described as white nationalist, and the author “is a white supremacist, and anti-immigration and anti-Muslim.” There is no indication in Berger’s analysis that Tarrant included statements that would characterize his ideology as a form of Christian nationalism. If Christian nationalism is not the pro…

“We Blew it” on Climate Change, But May Survive Anyway: An RD Discussion with the First Transhumanist Candidate

By Andrew Aghapour

…ry politics? As part of my presidential campaign, we’re driving across the country to deliver a Transhumanist Bill of Rights to the U.S. Capitol building. We sort of see it like Martin Luther with the 95 Theses, centuries ago. We’re trying to mandate that, that no matter what one’s cultural or religious perspective, you cannot stop health and life extension technologies. In this instance, we point to George W. Bush, who was able to stop stem cell…

Conservative Evangelicalism’s Gender Role Rift: Whither Women?

By Jacob Lupfer

…ge with more than 12,000 students in residence and nearly 100,000 enrolled online. A bastion of cultural conservatism, Liberty seems an unlikely place to celebrate women reaching for the heights of influence in business and government. The Rev. Christine Caine of Australia speaks at the Willow Leitungskongress 2012. But unless Propel aims to convince women to quit their careers, stop taking birth control, and homeschool their children, it will be…

Jewish Studies Is a Free-Speech Zone, and It Needs to Stay That Way

By Aaron Hughes

…in quotations marks because how American Jews can have a “birthright” in a country they were not born in when the government of that country is trying at the same time to destroy the birthright of some of its citizens is beyond me. In the article the Tufts students complained about how Hillel International and its own board was willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that “birthright” is largely funded by Sheldon Adelson, and about how those who g…

The Promise of Immortality in a Tech-Enhanced Heaven

By Lisa Webster

…ything. We’ve seen that happen. The entire world and its economy has moved online, speeding things up, “disrupting” industries, increasing our vulnerability to hackers and spies. Now we’re at the beginnings of feeling the impact of robotics; 3D home production and the printing of body parts; nano-medicine, virtual reality (finally!) and so on. There’s even some talk about a longevity pill on the near future horizon. Even if that doesn’t happen, th…

3 Takeaways from #Easter2015

By Michael Schulson

…ge: Christian Faith Center, in Seattle, used #RememberFriday and #CelebrateSunday, while Hillsong, the Australian-turned-global megachurch musical phenomenon, ran an entire branded campaign around #crossequalslove. Other churches used Easter as a verb (perhaps in reference to the final stanza of this Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, or simply because our culture verbs almost everything online). “#EasterWithUs,” requested North Point Ministries, also in…

…irl, revolutionary or regular Jane—is up to her. Will she choose faith and country over family? https://youtu.be/Nb36g7rlaRY A recent study by the Barna Group about what most influences self-identity among Americans found that most Americans rank “family” as No. 1, with “being an American” coming in second, and “religious faith” in third place. Paige and I are members of Generation X. I wonder, were she to have made it to her 40s with perhaps a te…

Confront Death by Avoiding Fritos: The Gluten Lie, Fad Diets, & Foodie Faith

By Michael Schulson

…hings are distant enough where we are able to romanticize them. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there’s a huge push within China to reject Traditional Chinese Medicine. This romanticization of what is outside of one’s culture, especially in order to deal with health problems, is something that is really common, and something we ought to avoid. At the same time, our culture’s eating habits seem to hurt people. Is looking outside of our own cultu…
