McCarthy, Born Again and Retooled for Our Time

By Sarah Posner

…ury.” Noebel’s reissue of the Schwarz book, titled You Can Still Trust the Communists to Be Communists (Socialists and Progressives Too), pays homage to Skousen as well, noting that in 1958 he compiled a list of 45 “current communist goals,” six of which, Noebel writes, have already been fulfilled: to present homosexuality as “normal, natural, and healthy;” to eliminate prayer in public schools; to “discredit” the Constitution; to “discredit” fami…

The Bush Obama Faith-Based Office

By Sarah Posner

…y discussed them, leaving all the activities and rhetoric to subordinates. Under some fairly consistent pressure from church-state separate advocates, Obama did recently, and after a substantial delay, issue an executive order making some improvements to the constitutional issues that remained from the Bush-era faith-based office and that Obama had promised to correct. One major problem hasn’t been fixed, though: faith-based groups receiving gover…

Everything You Think You Know About the Dark Ages is Wrong

By Nancy Marie Brown

…Describing the imperial insignia, he said it was “made in the form of a golden apple set around in a square with all the most precious jewels and surmounted by a golden cross. So it was like this bulky earth, which is reputed to be shaped like a globe.” What alternative title would you give the book? The Abacus and the Cross was the first title that came to me, and I wouldn’t change it. It’s short, but broad enough to take in all of Gerbert’s man…

By Sarah Posner

…among specialists and generalists who devote a good part of their lives to understanding and delineating religion’s influence on the life of the world.

By Sarah Posner

…e accomplished, Doyle and others argue forcefully, without diminishing any commitment to a free press, combatting government secrecy, or ensuring that Assange receives due process both in Sweden and in the U.S., where his lawyer claims, apparently without much evidence, that a grand jury has been empaneled.) Doyle’s blog posts culminated in one Saturday night, in which she recounted the abuse that — yes, anonymous — commenters, Twitterers, and oth…

The Book of Mormon, Dark Skin, and Racist Theology

By Joanna Brooks

…t that scriptures are complex and contradictory: that the same Bible that commands us to love our neighbors seems also to command murder of homosexuals, and that the same Book of Mormon that states in one place that “all are alike unto God,” “black and white, bond and free, male and female” (2 Nephi 26:33) also contains a statement by another narrator who attributes a rival people’s dark skin to their spiritual failings. As I’ve said before, whet…

Loughner Admired Conspiracy-Minded Zeitgeist Film

…f Zeitgeist: The Movie. (Source) Some have even composed full books/videos in an attempt to refute. These rebuttals appear to be almost always one sided and radiate with emotional disdain. Christian apologetics have denounced the movie’s claims that Jesus never existed, and the New Testament’s account of his conception, birth, life, death, and resurrection were “stolen” and derivative of pagan and pre-Christian belief….
