“Paleo” is More Than a Fad Diet: Boyd Eaton’s Plan to Return to Eden

By Michael Schulson

…optimal level is one that would afford a lifestyle similar to what middle class Americans have now for everybody on earth. At that point, we could live as flagrantly, as profligately, as we might wish—not that I’d recommend that, but we could—because there’d be so relatively few of us compared to the number we have now. I’m trying to imagine what it would be like to be born on that planet: 200 years in the future. Only 100 million people. Well, I…

Bob McDonnell’s Christian Reconstructionist Thesis

By Julie Ingersoll

…ut McDonnell’s use of sources would be inadequate even in an undergraduate class. For example, he cites statistical evidence as the basis for his arguments, but checking his references we find that his source is not a scholarly report but an un-footnoted reference by a Christian Reconstructionist pastor, Ray Sutton, in a little book written for Gary North’s “Biblical Blueprint” series. The book is written at a level appropriate for a church Bible…

Charleston Killings: This is What a Sin Against the Holy Spirit Looks Like

By Peter Laarman

…822 slave uprising when it was discovered that long-time church member and class leader (and free person of color) Denmark Vesey had been preaching insurrection there. And now, in a distinctively American drama that never ends, the historic and brave Emanuel (“God with us”) African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston has been violated yet again, almost 200 years later, by murderous anti-black hatred. Very often shooting rampages in this coun…

Catholic Bishops Do Siskel & Ebert

By Kate Childs Graham

…ergy, and—you guessed it—human sexuality. After review, the films are then classified into the following categories: A-I—general patronage, A-II—adults and adolescents, A-III—adults, L—limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling, and O—morally offensive. Here is a sampling of movies in a few of the categories: A-I: The USCCB Office of Film and Broadcasting denotes that this category is rare as “nowadays…

Does a Candidate’s Religion Matter?

By Tamura Lomax

…ranchised—those less privileged due to cultural and societal views of sex, class, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, education, poverty, age, etc.—through the implementation and support of policies that will better the over all quality of life and allow for human flourishing, recent history tells us that the “religious,” in many cases, will do the opposite. In fact, if we are not careful, those of us who happen to be marked by the afore…

An Open Letter to Kim Davis From a Gay Pastor

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…plays a very large role in affirming that LGBT people are no longer second-class citizens in our own country. I know that you have enjoyed the support of many people and you feel that your cause is just. But let’s be clear: you are no Rosa Parks; you are not the brave protesters who risked their lives to sit at an all-white lunch counter or tried to register to vote. You are George Wallace blocking the schoolhouse door. You are the bus driver who…

The White Nationalist Fringe Just Took a Giant Step Closer to the Center of the GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tern civilization—how did that language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?” It was this statement that finally got Steve King, the former Iowa Republican, stripped of his committee assignments in the House of Representatives. This wasn’t the first time he’d signaled sympathy for the far right—after all, he’d had a long history of racist, bigoted remarks about immigrants and…

Al-Qur’an and Me

By Amina Wadud

…ster rolled around and I could at long last register in an Arabic language class. Still, it was the miracle of the text that drove me. Every word I learned, every grammatical construct, I had already come upon in the Qur’an—although by using the phonetics alone. About the only thing that slowed down this rabid pace was becoming a mother. So I had two children (including one born in Libya, where the knots in my ear and my tongue were loosened) befo…

Global LGBT Recap: World Vision Caves, World Congress of Families Vamps, God Weeps

By Peter Montgomery

…standards and results in stigmatization or discrimination of any group or class of people.” “Sexual orientation of those we serve or those with whom we collaborate with will not be a consideration during our work. The issue of same-sex relationships will neither prevent us from service children, families and communities around the world, nor obstruct our collaboration with one another and with our partner organizations. World Congress of Families…

Magic v. Science: Doctor Who Part III

By Gabriel Mckee

…they do in order to survive. Because of this insight, the Doctor is not a classic vampire slayer, so much as an ecologist. He stops the Saturnynians for the same reason that environmentalists in North America combat the snakehead fish. Finally, it is fitting that Calvierri offers an alliance with the Doctor. Like the vampire, the Doctor is also an immortal outsider walking among us. He too has unnatural abilities and is alluring to the opposite s…
