Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…sons. For Malle, we should be aware of this, so that we can “make slightly better use of the psychological mechanisms that [we] have and inevitably will use.” One problem, two maxims In our social universe, cause and effect occur across multiple scales. Individuals participate in groups, those groups create social structures like laws and values, and those social structures in turn affect individuals. Fault, too, travels in circuits. The violent p…

Abstinence, Not Condoms, Says Pope Upon Leaving for Africa

By Frances Kissling

…tted AIDS when one partner contracted the disease through intravenous drug use. Nuns have contracted AIDS after sexual abuse by priests. Two such reports were provided to the Vatican by religious sisters working in Africa. The reports were ignored. Data from WHO, UNAIDS, the US Centers for Disease Control, all clearly show that while condoms are not 100% effective, they are highly effective in preventing the spread of HIV while having sex and not…

Ihram: Dressing for the King

By Amina Wadud

…next man. Nice. But I hope you noticed I said man to men, and I don’t ever use the word unless explicitly male. I never use that word for human being, person, or humanity as whole. That gives people too much license whether to include women as persons or human beings, so I just don’t do it. But here it is intentional. Well, I think about the idea of hajj as a visit before the king. Men, who are basically used to certain predominance in society, if…

The End of Roe Comes Courtesy of the Catholic Church — But From ‘The Dorothy Day Abortion Fund’ to ‘St. Vincent de Paul Vasectomy Clinic,’ Here Are Some Ideas for Catholics Looking to Make a Difference

By Mary E. Hunt

…ic feminist initiatives. Catholics, including President Joe Biden, need to use the word ‘abortion.’ It is primarily a medical procedure, not an ethical or political dilemma. Try to say it along with ‘transplant’ and ‘tracheotomy’ to get used to the fact that, like those medical procedures, it is necessary and helpful in terms of human health, not for everyone, but for those in need. Reluctance to use the term ‘abortion’ is a signal of how successf…

Heavy Metal Saved Me From Catholic Guilt; RIP Ronnie Dio

By Anthea Butler

…ncerts also did nothing to endear him to the Christian faithful, yet Dio’s use of the horns came from his grandmother’s use of the hand symbol to ward off the evil eye (corna). I have to wonder if Dio’s grandmother ever saw him use it in a concert. Without Dio, and other “satanic” metal groups, right wing Christianity would have had a hard time remembering what to do with the devil. Dio made it cool to question religion, to embrace the darker side…

Thinking About God Makes Your Brain Bigger

By Andrew Newberg

…notion of what actually exists “out there,” and we document how the brain uses its perceptions to build useful models of the world, other people, morality, and God. Did you have a specific audience in mind when writing? We wrote this book for everyone who has an interest in religious, spiritual, and secular beliefs. We talk about the neural activity in the brains of believers and disbelievers, and we show the benefits of contemplation for eve…

How Conservative Christian Women Came to Claim “True” Feminism

By Eric C. Miller

…’t really different from other advocacy groups in this respect. I wouldn’t use the words “tricky” or “manipulative,” because those words imply that there’s a certain moral ineptness inherent in chaos rhetoric. What I’d claim, rather, is what I said earlier: most of us tolerate chaos rhetoric quite well when it’s being used by a group that we like. In other words, various methods of persuasion (in this case, chaos rhetoric) are called “tricky” or “…

Onward Christian Terrorists; Fighting Evil in the Obama Era

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…abies,” as Bray put it. He was careful to say that he did not advocate the use of violence, but morally approved of it in some instances. He was “pro-choice,” as he put it, regarding its use. Bray found support for his position in actions undertaken during the Nazi regime in Europe. His moral exemplar in this regard was the German theologian and Lutheran pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who abruptly terminated his privileged research position at Union…

The Moral Bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Asceticism

By Vlad Chituc

…o-ascetic utopia, where parking lots become parks and power plants become museums because we all use solar cells and drink Soylent and have our clothes shipped to us (efficiently) by drone. But who will exist on the fringes? Rhinehart’s vision would have us invert the “haves” and the “have-nots,” letting the rich live lightly by offloading the messy business of consuming and owning to the poor. The solution to our problems isn’t to wildly deregula…

Bible College Pres Arrested for Forced Labor: Hypocrite or Extremist?

By Hollis Phelps

…bor, Miller must, if the charge is true, not really be a Christian. Or, to use another example, the Westboro Baptist Church must not really be Christians because true Christians would never protest at funerals. It’s an effective strategy, insofar as it appears to protect the integrity of mainstream religious belief against what appear as more extreme elements. Indeed, sometimes it’s appropriate and necessary to do so. But it can also be lazy and d…
