After More Mass Shootings It’s Time to Call Out White Supremacy in the Pews

…of political and civic leaders who are willing to say the word trauma and talk about the all-pervasive violence in this culture, not to mention the extent of mental disturbance and the fact that American civilians have more assault rifles in their possession than does the U.S. military. All well and good. But we have too few leaders who will talk about the deeper roots of these things or attempt to explain why American culture is “exceptional”—ex…

Evangelicals Looking for Walker to “Do Nothing” in 2016 Election

…idating those bans, the Republican presidential candidates are unlikely to talk about same-sex marriage directly. Ben Carson’s hasty apology for his claim that homosexuality is a choice (proven, he claimed, because people go into prison straight and come out gay) is just one sign that the campaign rhetoric on this issue will be subject to a new kind of scrutiny. Instead of talking about opposition to marriage equality, evangelical activists say, r…

‘Always Pray to the Father’: Mormon Leader Calls Desire for Knowledge of Heavenly Mother ‘Arrogant and Unproductive’

…of queerness. (See for example Dallin H. Oaks’s latest General Conference talk.) Renlund’s talk is evidence that the Church is similarly working to be incompatible with feminism. A silent, invisible wife is not equal to her husband, and the Church repeatedly tells Latter-day Saints that women (who cannot hold the priesthood) are not inferior to men (who can hold the priesthood), and that husbands and wives should be “equal partners.” Every proble…

8 Bill Maher Statements For UC Berkeley To Consider Before Commencement

…s, Maher backtracked: “Not a black — no, no, no, no — not a black man. I’m talking with a terrorist situation.” He then proceeded to talk about profiling Arabs and Muslims. He’s said that Arabs only understand force. Apparently, “real” black men only understand force, too, according to a comment he made about President Obama and the BP oil spill: “I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this […

HitchBot Meets His Maker: What a Robot’s Murder Tells Us About Ourselves

…ren may only just now be learning, as Turkle suggests, “that it’s safer to talk to a computer than another human.” But if Old Yeller and many, many people’s child- and adulthoods are any indication, humans have known for a long time that it’s sometimes nicer to talk to a non-human entity, whom we sort-of-imagine is able to comprehend language. There’s an analogy here, too, with religion. A believer might assume an intimacy with a god she can neith…

American Family Association Targets Radio Hosts Over Association With Critic

…Howse had not named the AFA in his articles but “everybody knows who he’s talking about.” In an email, Wildmon told me that Howse had tried to “sabotage The Response that we were sponsors of and has gone after our friends and associates like Jim Garlow, Tony Perkins, James and Shirley Dobson, etc., by name.” He explained that the network had received calls from listeners and that the situation had been “a headache.” Wildmon also pointed to an art…

Money, Technology, and the Silence of Churches: A Conversation with Susan Thistlethwaite

…ve to take this seriously. I hope this book will get progressives to start talking about money in the way we’ve just begun to talk about human sexuality in justice-making ways. We’re not there yet on money,” she said. We talked more about these topics, including a look back at her most recent book—on tech, sin, and the myth of Eden—during a recent conversation.   RD: In your forthcoming book, you use the tent cities that the Occupy movement set up…

Trump’s Evangelical Support in the Gut, not the Theology

…s an emotion. Surveys have shown that many Republicans “want to hear blunt talk” about Islam. The truth is thrown over in favor of a carefully curated selection of exhilarating falsehoods. Trump’s appeal to voters with authoritarian tendencies indexes not an ideology, per se, but a desire for the theater of force. Trump seems to make people feel proud, strong, and a little bit dangerous. His speeches are a feast of purified extremist affects, an o…

A Catholic Sister, a Buddhist Nun, and Two Rabbis: Friendship That Goes Beyond “Interfaith”

…met a Jewish man named Abraham who told her about Rabbi Shohama. “I don’t talk about religion,” she explained, “I’m too busy trying to convert myself. He brought it up and said, ‘You should go see this rabbi. She’s a mystic.’ I thought, hmm, that’s good, but then I thought to myself, I’m a Gentile, they’ll throw me out. But they didn’t!” “The rabbi said her name was from shoham (sacred stone), and I said, well, I’m ‘honey from the rock.’ My mothe…

Material(ist) Girl: A Philosopher Argues Against the Soul

…for more. I was blown away by that.  New age books and even the Buddhists talk about how we are not our minds, that instead there is an “eternal Self” or “observer” that is really us. Aren’t your findings at odds with that?  I think different circuitry is involved in the brain when the mind is thinking about something and when there is a kind of observation of those thoughts. I think it’s just different parts of the brain doing different things….
