Ten-Year-Old Hero Confronts Anti-Gay Bigotry

I just love stories about young people taking a stand for justice. Not much else gets the tears flowing for me more than a good story about some little kid figuring out that civil liberties is a guarantee in the Constitution that should apply to everyone, so if somebody’s suffering from bigotry or discrimination, then, gosh darn it, that kid’s going to do something about it.  How can any American reading such stories not feel a little proud rush…

Jews and Christians for Santorum?

…mostly because Romney is for your kid’s male teacher wearing a dress and heels to school, and Santorum is for “social sanity.” Here’s the text of the robocall, via the website JewsandChristianstogether.org: Hi, my name is Brian Camenker; I’m a Jew from Massachusetts.

Mormon Leaks: Boring Meetings with Interesting Implications

In the era of WikiLeaks, the recent “Mormon Leaks” videos of the Church hierarchy being briefed come across as spectacularly boring—like an endless business meeting, complete with lackluster PowerPoints and stultifying statistics. Yet, these dull discussions of otherwise vital and riveting topics, like same-sex marriage, the economy, and science and morality, become fascinating when viewed from the perspective of Mormon history.

La Carmina, Author of ‘The Little Book of Satanism,’ Talks ‘Satanic Panic,’ QAnon, Japanese Satanism, and More

For most of its existence, religious Satanism has been regarded as either unfit for polite conversation or fodder for sensationalist tabloid media. In the 1990s, Anton LaVey complained, “Whenever I got on TV or the radio, I was given a few seconds to say what they desperately needed me for. Someone else who had lost 240 pounds of ugly fat got 20 minutes of air time. A woman who saw Jesus on a tortilla had even more time to recount her experience….
