The Question of Evil: Politicians Weigh In

By Mark Gstohl

…inability to associate “us” with evil. Also, Obama acknowledged evil in many areas of life. Notice that McCain used the discussion of evil to advance his political agenda and defined evil only in one form—violence against America. That’s a particularly convenient view of evil. Another assumption in McCain’s response is that we have the ability to eradicate evil. Notice the contrast between the two candidates. For Obama, we are soldiers that must…

Necessary Sacrifice: Sundance, Mormon Movies, and the Race to Oscar Night

By Kathryn Lofton

…ce marred by a brother’s bullet. All of this is our striving effort to do anything, anything at all, to evade the tick-tock in our ear. The pounding, present fear that the next link might not be someone so far away. That it might not be some virtual abstraction, someone you mention to your wife over crumpled paper and coffee, someone over whose casting you muse while strolling to post-show gelato. This is, of course, the fear that the next one to…

Rage Against the New Age Machine: Three Days at the Osho International Meditation Resort

By Diane Winston

…weekend, there were (mostly young) men and women from France, Italy, Germany, Russian, Israel, the U.S., Japan, Argentina and India. Some, like us, were there for a short stay, but others came to study at the multiversity for a week or even several months. Still others worked at the resort, supplying volunteer labor in exchange for courses. Seekers came to Osho to satisfy their spiritual needs. Most wanted to find their best self. My need, I real…

By Thomas Lecaque

…United Nations under the name of ‘Agenda 2030.’” Viganò added: “We know many heads of state have participated in Klaus Schwab’s School for Young Leaders — the so-called Global Leaders for Tomorrow — beginning with Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, Jacinta Ardern and Boris Johnson and, before that, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair.” We should worry “The Great Reset” is an explicitly anti-public health conspiracy theory. Viganò has p…

Pope Tweeted into Retirement

By Rachel Wagner

…has seen unprecedented change in communications technology—enough to make anyone wish for retirement. He’s observed the massive development of YouTube and Google, the ubiquity of smart phones and mobile devices, and the rise of Facebook and Twitter, which boast nearly a billion and half a billion respectively. For good and for ill, we are available 24/7 for communications via multiple lines of digital contact. Amidst this chaotic stew of interacti…

Bonnaroo: The Meeting Ground

By E. David Morgen

…ximity means that it all takes place in public. But the chance to see so many people engaged in extended, face-to-face, Blackberry-free communication—sitting in their camp chairs, lying on blankets—may be the most remarkable sights of the entire event. These might be high school friends who now attend different colleges, perhaps twenty-somethings at the beginnings of their adult lives. There are older campers as well, and some multigenerational fa…

When Blasphemy Was a Riot (But Didn’t Cause One)

By Sophie Gherardi

…most a year ago and sold twenty million tickets in France (and nearly as many abroad). Intouchables is a funny and moving comedy, but as politically correct a story as you’ll find: a black young man bordering on delinquency is hired by a tetraplegic wealthy man to be his assistant-nurse-chauffeur. They have a ball together doing crazy—and sometimes nasty—things, and save each other from an apparently inexorable fate. Charlie Hebdo (named after Cha…

Huckabee Channels Rushdoony

By Julie Ingersoll

…te over the founders’ intent. What Barton is talking about—and what Rushdoony talked about—is the meaning and purpose of history. Rushdoony called it a “Biblical Philosophy of History;” Barton often uses the term “Providential History.” Either way, it’s all about God’s hand guiding the purpose, history, and future of America. In the promotion for a collection of Rushdoony lectures in an audio CD series last July, Reconstructionist American Vision…

By Lauri Lebo

…evelopers of approved projects the sales tax paid by visitors on admission tickets, food, gift sales and lodging costs. Developers have 10 years to reach the 25 percent threshold. Rob Boston, a spokesman for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, says there are concerns over the project, but it’s too early to tell whether the proposed business incentives would be unconstitutional in that it would involve excessive entanglement with r…

The Sacred and the Dead: Three Ways to American Beauty

By Aaron K. Kerr

…Candyman’s in town” This is the grateful seduction, sometimes for good, many times for ill, but real any way you slice it. Two more times for the Dead to, in the words of bassist Phil Lesh, “suck the last dance right out of you…” How much are those tickets to the very last gigs at Soldier Field this weekend going for? For real? You got to be kidding me! I could feed a family for a month for that price. But one can’t put a price on American Beauty…
