What’s more, the only biblical list of laws that appears within English translations by the moniker “the Ten Commandments” is yet another list (now we’re up to four) and bears little resemblance to the others (Exodus 34:10-28). I point this out not to exasperate but as one among many possible examples reminding all of us that the Bible actively resists literalistic application. On the contrary, the Bible…

By Christopher James Blythe

…harles Vallow, and Alex Cox. What we know for sure with the new document is that the “Doomsday Couple” sees themselves as benevolent messianic figures preparing the world for the apocalypse. Fortunately, the list of their missions didn’t include any murders. Perhaps there’s still hope that Chad and Lori’s elevated sense of self-importance hasn’t led them to add more sinister deeds to their list….

Duggar Daughters Talk Sex, Courtship, and Fear of Ungodly Men

By Myev Rees

…n in his life by containing himself. The Duggar daughters offer a detailed list of qualities they are looking for, and the vast majority of them—not being addicted to alcohol, drugs or pornography for example—reveal a fairly low bar and an emphasis on self-control. Godly women on the other hand have a considerably more extensive list of requirements. Women are presumed to be inherently more controlled, so their baseline for virtue is higher. The G…

How Religion Shapes (or Doesn’t) Our Views on Public Issues

…. What does work? Not much, it would seem. At least not when it comes to the subjects Pew chose to poll. But go back and take a look at the list of voter priorities: 90% say the economy is a “very important” topic. 88% jobs, 78% health care. Get the hint? And that’s with a forced-choice list. If you asked respondents to come up with their own list, it might be even more lopsided. Preachers who want to know what’s on the mind of their congregations…

Marjorie Dannenfelser, the group’s president, when asked about balancing ca…

…roduced celebrity Scientologists Kelly Preston and Jenna Elfman to Sen. John Ensign (a paragon of godly virtue!) to encourage him to sponsor legislation that would prohibit public schools from requiring students to take psychiatric drugs.

Rick Santorum Figures Out the Feminist Plot to Create “Phony” Abortion Exceptions

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ticular situation. As opposed to, say, legislation that would… well, what? List all of the possible medical conditions in the world that would “count” as being actually deadly enough to warrant legal elective abortion, without missing or failing to consider even one that might someday come up? And, incidentally (we’d further point out), would it be politicians — most of whom have no medical training — crafting this legislation? Or, gosh, would the…
