In Which I Explain why Marathon Runners are Depraved and Should Just Have their Knees Fall Off Before I Give them One
Red Cent

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…he female bosom provides sustenance to a child, and is a source of delight between a woman and her husband. Now, let’s think about what running does to a lady’s, ahem, front mezzanine area. I mean: sports bras? If you have to buy a special garment in order to indulge your running hobby, shouldn’t that be a clue that you’re doing something contrary to nature? Walking cooperates with the beautiful purpose of your female form, where marathon-running…

Founding Father John Adams’ Advice to Rick Perry: Don’t Meddle in Religion

By Warren Throckmorton

…triggered no small amount of protest, including from the atheist/agnostic Freedom from Religion Foundation, which is suing to stop it. Religious groups like the Houston Clergy Council are also concerned about the event, arguing that “…the governor has made it clear that only Christians of a particular kind are welcome to pray in a certain way. We feel that such an exclusive event does not reflect the rich tapestry of our city.” Jewish state repre…

Was Ghana Anti-Gay Scare Just Politics?

By Warren Throckmorton

…(NGO) had registered 8,000 gays, lesbians and bisexuals in the Western and Central regions of the country which, if accurate, would represent a significant increase over past estimates. Within days, religious groups united to call on the Ghanaian government for action against sexual minorities. Both Christian and Muslim coalitions have declared that they will not support a politician who favors relaxing the laws covering homosexuality. Then, on Ju…

Breivik’s Manifesto on Islam vs. “Christendom” as “Demographic Warfare”

By Sarah Posner

…litary order.” He continues, it is “essential to understand the difference between a ‘Christian fundamentalist theocracy’ (everything we do not want) and a secular European society based on our Christian cultural heritage (what we do want).” Breivik blames the “multiculturalists,” and, in a twist that I touched on yesterday, also blames Hitler for giving rise to these “politically correct elites.” These “elites,” he argues, in their zeal to preven…

Of Sports and Social Justice: An Interview with Rebecca Alpert

By Susan Henking

…a, poor treatment of immigrants, who work for gun control and reproductive freedom, can have a major influence not only on the Jewish community, but also on making our society a better place. I am proud to belong to a synagogue, Mishkan Shalom, in Philadelphia that exemplifies those values. In that book, there is an essay of yours that talks about the need for perspective, whether it’s from the margins or from the center. Is that still a useful wa…

A Peek Inside the ‘Onion’ of Scientology

By Kristin Rawls

…. See, Scientology is always supposed to “work.” It’s supposed to make you better. If you’re not better, if something goes wrong, they see that as your problem. It’s not their fault. They think you’ve caused this, and they don’t want any responsibility for it. You discuss many people who experienced psychological problems while practicing Scientology. Hubbard himself was apparently taking anti-psychotic medication when he died. What is the relati…

The Bleeding Heart of Muslim Europe

By Haroon Moghul

…fice is revealed in telling details. Take Ataturk, father of an ostensibly Central Asian nation; he was born in today’s Macedonia, his features strikingly and suspiciously Slavic—blond hair and blue eyes. The 1990s war awakened many of these connections, and as Turkey in many respects challenges Ataturk’s legacy (especially his late 19th-century romantic European nationalism), the older truths of Turkey’s Ottoman heritage gain visibility. Not to r…

Lesbian Nuns: Still Immodest After All These Years

By Susan Henking

…e, could be brought into the sphere of domestic relationships that was the central focus of women’s lives and education, even for those who were cloistered. Many scholars, such as Daniel Bornstein and Joan Del Pozzo have written at length about this in recent years. My book helped to shed light on these relationships by looking at the sources for these visions and how they could be used for a variety of purposes. Some of the scholarly debates in…

Does Religion Justify the Murder of Troy Davis? [Updated]

By Jay Michaelson

…ich the possibility of amending the record, of righting one’s wrongs, is a central theme. But of course, there is no amending the record once Troy Davis is dead. The various hangmen in Georgia have not cited Scripture as justification for killing Troy Davis, who probably did not commit the murder of which he was convicted. But they may as well have. American moral values are largely derived from religious values, and those values come from the Bib…

Will Istanbul Ever Be a Part of the European Union?

By Haroon Moghul

…planet—you have to go to Moscow in the north, probably Dubai in the south, central Europe in the west and probably India in the east to get this kind of economic power. It doesn’t deserve to be second fiddle to anyone, and with Turkey’s rise, I can see it playing a global role, in the near future, commensurate with its historic one. At the moment I’m overlooking the last stop on the European rail network. From here, you can go all the way to Londo…
