Rubio Is Confused About Christianity, Marriage Equality, and the Constitution

By Sarah Posner

…other religious teaching) at all, much less deeming it “hate speech.” The Free Exercise Clause protects religious practice and religious speech. Under the Free Speech Clause, the government cannot proscribe “hate speech” or even define it. Under the Establishment Clause, the government cannot endorse (or renounce) a particular religion. You can say gay people are intrinsically disordered. Or you can say they don’t have a constitutional right to g…

Both the Joy and the Uproar Over the Pope’s Blessings for LGBTQ Catholics are Small Potatoes Compared to this Age-Old Church Problem

By Mary E. Hunt

…aque prose, the title conjures up poor souls on their knees begging for God-knows-what. One cause of some of the confusion over the document could be that it’s not written clearly. Covering up bad news, or beating around the bush to distract attention from the matter at hand does not invite transparent prose. The ‘humble entreaty’ introduction quickly sets one’s teeth on edge especially when the topic is whether and how to offer a simple blessing….

God’s Obituary: A Humanist Response to Mass Murder

By Anthony B. Pinn

…uring these challenging times, as well as a space for wrestling with these questions free of cosmic justifications—and a God clearly missing in action. I write this not to deny comfort for those who have been directly and indirectly touched by this unspeakable act of violence. Mine is an effort to acknowledge and respect grief without so quickly pushing to find some reason behind such tragedy. This loss of life is really beyond our limited human…

Battlestar Galactica and the Future of American Religion

By Nick Street

…tal population and an even higher portion of men. Even as traditional brick-and-mortar religious institutions repackage themselves to appeal to young people weaned on interactive media, the technological innovations driving cultural change are allowing the producers of electronic information to create interactive media environments that are ever more keenly attuned to the experiences of the human beings who populate virtual worlds. In other words,…

A Jew in Church? No Big Deal

By Benjamin Weiner

…“getting our groove back,” as if religious community is just one more mass-produced commodity to be stamped at the end of the factory line with a cross, or a crescent, or a star of David. Differences are ignored, as we unite in the task we all share as religious functionaries in a secular world: filling the seats. And journeys of discovery can seem less like the parable of the man who traveled to a far-off land to learn there was treasure under h…

Extra-Terrestrial Kitsch: Capricology #4

By Anthea Butler

…tween trying to deal with the alienness of its various cultures in a matter-of-fact way—dropping casual references to the legalization of drugs, the corporate ownership of the Internet, the Tauron’s moral obligation to seek revenge, or the sleeping and sexual habits of polyamorous couples—and touching on hot button issues which are very much of our time and place, such as the recurring exploration of how societies respond to the persistent threat…

The Sacred and the Dead: Operator, Can You Help Me?

By Maren Haynes

…stairs, like Harry Potter. And so many others. For a few years in my early-to-mid-20s, I lived vividly amongst these eclectic, eccentric souls, each for his or her own brief but glorious chapter of our lives. We forged our connections around a table, playing games of Scrabble and cards, or listening to mix CDs, or spending nights under a canopy of stars. Transcendence came in conversations that lasted for hours—sometimes days— and meandered throu…

If Something About Trump’s Bible Photo-Op Felt Familiar There’s a Good Reason

By Karen E. Park

…number of objects before—objects he was promoting or selling. Products. A search through the many Trump-branded products from Trump Steak to Trump Vodka [right] shows Trump holding his “signature” objects in just this way. Trump hasn’t read the Bible or prayed with it any more than he ever studied for finals at Trump University or sipped Trump Vodka (slogan: “Success Distilled”). Trump chooses objects, examines them for their potential to increas…

Cloverfield: Sin & Redemption, with Monsters

By Gabriel Mckee

…e deserve it, this says—a theology of sin and divine retribution. The kaiju-as-divine-wrath theme is nowhere as clear as in Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys, possibly the genre’s best film since the original Godzilla. Early in this film Gamera, the giant fire-breathing turtle of the title, decides that humanity isn’t necessarily worth protecting. After all, his official title is “Guardian of the Universe,” and if humankind is going to harm the universe…

Pop-Eye: Blind Faith and the Invisible Font

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…log post, “God Talk,” in which he reviews literary critic Terry Eagleton’s new book Reason, Faith, and Revolution. Therein Eagleton has an important row with the amalgamous personage he has termed “Ditchkins” (Richard Dawkins + Christopher Hitchens), decrying their confusion of categories between faith and reason. While I appreciate Fish’s take on Eagleton’s take on Ditchkins (and sympathize with the anger of “having to expend so much mental and e…
