Eat, Pray, Kill: The Basic Brutality of Eating

By Beatrice Marovich

…tivity. The title of his column begs the incendiary question: “If peas can talk, should we eat them?” There are, perhaps, some practitioners of the Jain tradition who would give a resounding “no.” Strict ascetic practices in Jainism disavow not only the consumption of meat, but the practice of farming—because of the damage that agricultural tools to do the earth. The consumption of root vegetables may be prohibited (as you would be yanking the veg…

Fix the Economy GOD’$ WAY: Dave Ramsey’s Great Christian Recovery

By Paul Harvey

…t pep talk to the live and virtual congregation, but his perfectly-pitched talk did skillfully blend a pollyannaish optimism with echoes of perennial American Christian calls for personal and national “spiritual revival.” This message has its origins in a pastiche; not only of 19th-century Christian economic preaching ranging from Charles Finney, Henry Ward Beecher, and Russell Conwell (of “Acres of Diamonds” fame), but also to 20th-century though…

A Peek Inside the ‘Onion’ of Scientology

By Kristin Rawls

…reporter, I was always baffled by the fact that they felt more comfortable talking to my male superiors than to me. I’m talking about members, officials and even ex-officials who remain in that Scientology mindset. I don’t know whether or not that’s a sexist thing. I never really saw it that way, but they were definitely much more interested in talking to my male superiors. They’d call Rolling Stone directly when I was writing the magazine article…

Conservative Evangelical Eric Metaxas, Doing Twitter Theology, Claims ‘Jesus Was White’

By Eric Vanden Eykel

…k charitably about race, but I would argue that we have never been able to talk charitably about race. We have done a fantastic job, however, of ignoring the issue and pretending that all is well. And all is definitely not well. The subtitle of Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility book is “Why it’s so hard for white people to talk about racism.” When all is said and done, the true value of Metaxas’s tweet and its aftermath may be as a case in poin…

Christian Pol, Attacked for Opposing ‘In God We Trust’ in School, Talks Church and State

By Frederick Clarkson

…ampaign finance reform, and universal health care. Senator Marty agreed to talk with RD about what this episode tells us about religion and public life in the age of Trump. RD: During the floor debate, and in your appearance on Fox, you argued that the posting of In God We Trust in the public schools is “offensive” to both religious believers and non-religious, and that a “government sanctioned motto” is essentially an affront to religion itself….

Why the World Needs Religious Studies

By Nathan Schneider

…always be among the university’s chief responsibilities. Here, I’m mainly talking about the rest of us.) As far as students go, they need to practice noticing and talking about the skills and habits they’re getting in religious studies. They’ll have to articulate these things to their parents and prospective employers. I bet they can do it better than I have. When they do, they’ll be a lot more ready to take over the world, and that will be a goo…

Welcoming the Stranger: Sister Simone Campbell of Nuns on the Bus Speaks Out on DACA

By Kaya Oakes

…e often immigration happens not just because of the economic dislocation I talked about before, but it’s also a consequence of global television, where we have exported our fairly unrealistic TV programs that demonstrate an idealized life in the United States. When you combine hungry people desperate to support their families with a vision of hope just like our immigrant parents did however many years ago when they came, people are going to come….

Why “Family Values” Defined Conservative Christianity (and Why “Religious Liberty” Has Replaced it)

By Eric C. Miller

…always new concerns on the horizon. “Groups like the Moral Majority didn’t talk about women terminating pregnancies; they said abortions happen ‘when the mother wants the baby killed.’” It helped that conservative evangelicals were speaking in the language of the times. In his book All in the Family, historian Robert Self demonstrates that the perceived failures of mid-century liberalism pushed family values to the center of American politics in t…

Is Proselytizing Ever Okay? Are We All Proselytizing All The Time?

By Chrissy Stroop

…list society at all, we need people, broadly, to respect such boundaries. Stalking and harassment shouldn’t get a pass simply because they’re driven by a particular understanding of the majority religion, and establishing a boundary—a practice essential to forming and maintaining healthy relationships—is simply not the same as trying to convince someone of something, let alone to change their most sacred beliefs from whatever “inferior” ones they…

The Non-Existent Tea Party-Religious Right God Gap

By Sarah Posner

…t we’ll hear next week at the Values Voters Summit. Here, I heard a lot of talk about economic freedom, the supposedly free-spending, monstrous, socialist government, and about the wonders of free enterprise. Most people hear that, and they think, what happened to the God talk? These people must be trying to appeal to the largely secular tea parties. But it’s there. While many tea partiers might come to a rally with an entirely secular objection t…
