…ghboring cities because of overregulation. We see the liberal agenda being promoted under the mantra of ‘Keep Fayetteville Funky,’ but it has never encroached on us personally…. In August, all that changed.” Meanwhile, another Fayetteville pastor, Duncan Campbell describes their side’s effort as a virtuous takeover from the outside. “It was light invading the darkness,” he explains, “and the center of the dark cloud was at the very gates of our ci…

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

By Eric C. Miller

…r rationales to sustain enrollment. The school found a winning strategy in promoting family values. LCA portrayed its mission as supporting Christian families and promised to shape young men and women who knew their place. A 1975 promotional brochure for the school advertised, “we have no hippies” and “you can tell our boys from our girls without a medical examination.” The relative lack of explicit racial rhetoric in the family values movement wo…

Civility Only Works When Everybody Stays In The Same Room

By Daniel Schultz

…rvative evangelical movement by selling out the covenant from within. I’ll bet he’s more sad than angry, too. The kicker is one of the examples the Christian Post cites as an unacceptable sandal-wearing hippie no-goodnik: Lillian Daniel, senior minister of a First Congregational Church which is pro-gay. . . . When a reporter can’t even bother to track down the city your congregation serves, much less attack its denominational affiliation, both of…

Another “Hot Text” For the War on Women: Rosemary’s Baby

By Mary Valle

…bedroom. It’s actually a fairly powerful rhetoric, a sexy argument that I bet Rousseau would have bought into. I think that rhetoric may be more powerful for men. Being seen as the “animal” of humankind really isn’t a compliment. I just keep thinking “Reacquaint yourselves with Rosemary’s Baby, women of America, because if the right wing has their way, we’ll all be heading for housecoats and unlimited childbearing which we will allegedly turn out…

Don’t Blame Black Voters: The Obama Non-Effect

By Jonathan L. Walton

…acred union, but in regards to spelling out the civic protections involved between consenting adults. In all fairness, I realize that inconsistencies abound as it relates to black folks’ fascination with “protecting traditional marriage.” The racial group with the lowest marriage rate in America might want to defer the moral high ground on this topic. Ironically, the protection of traditional marriage in the black community is inextricably bound u…

…the United States, which they want to impose “the new Moral Agenda” which promotes abortion, marriage between lesbians, gays and transsexuals. The president and director of the Christian Action Group spoke on a panel addressing “The new global agenda and its implications in the Dominican Republic.” They warned that international institutions like the Organization for American States and United Nations are pushing an agenda that would “destroy the…

Michael Vick Walks on Water: Updated

By Nicole Greenfield

…in rise above to heal his family, his community, his legacy.” The ten-part BET documentary, executive-produced by Vick himself, relates the star’s infamous story through a series of testimonies, events (including a heartfelt speech Vick gave as part of his involvement with the Humane Society’s End Dogfighting campaign), and interviews with family and acquaintances. A contrived attempt at redeeming himself in the public eye, The Michael Vick Projec…

Vaccine Mandates are Constitutional; Religious Exemptions are Unnecessary and Harmful

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ed religious freedom against public health orders, among other things. I’d bet on a decision in favor of mandatory religious exemptions from vaccine mandates whenever the shadow docket presents an opportunity for the court to decide such a case. The difference between the decades- and even century-old Supreme Court cases mandating vaccines and today’s, isn’t just the recently weaponized religious freedom, but also because “in most instances, commu…

Fatwa Allowing Women to Hit Their Husbands is Useless

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…e because they fear physical retaliation from their significant other. I’d bet that these women have the very same thoughts when it comes to attempting to strike a partner in self-defense. Fethullah Gülen, a prominent Turkish scholar of Islam, has echoed this fatwa and gone further in stating that “It is a violent act to beat one’s wife,” and “If he hits once, she should hit him twice.” But Gülen’s remarks fall sort of promoting any real solutions…

Is Tax Evasion a Christian Value?

By Lauri Lebo

…is letting its inmates do in-house programming these days. (If it did, I’d bet it would be a far more interesting show.) Since 2006, Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence after being convicted of 58 federal counts, including twelve tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents and forty-five counts of structuring cash transactions. Actually, the Creation Series is a DVD featuring many of Hovind’s classic silliness. (His assert…
