Bush’s New Book: “Damn Right I OK’d Torture”

By Sarah Sentilles

…ieves she cheated on him. It means there is no stopping this violence from coming to your school or neighborhood or living room. It means people have forgotten what it means to be human, what it means to recognize other people as human. In his book The Ticking is the Bomb, Nick Flynn writes about sitting in a room in which a man—he calls him Amir—is describing how he was tortured. Amir pushes his chair back from the table where he is sitting and s…

YOU Are Spiritual But Not Religious: The Secret Spiritual History of the Choose Your Own Adventure Books

By Daniel Silliman

…panzees. Your encounters with these creatures, and with various other ne’er-do-wells, spins the book off into so many directions it’s hard to keep track of them. Depending on which choices you make, the House of Danger houses a counterfeiting ring, a secret organization for international peace, a paranormal hotbed of ghosts left over from the 1887 prison riot, or a spearhead of an alien invasion. Whatever happens, there’s never a dull moment. The…

God or Gay, No Need to Choose Sides

By Jay Michaelson

…our so far, it inspires many more. What alternate title would you give the book? Originally the book was just called “The Religious Case for Gay Rights.” The new title is catchier, plus the phrase ‘gay rights’ is a bit old hat by now. How do you feel about the cover? I really like the cover—and I say this as someone who fought with two previous publishers, bitterly, over my book covers. The different feathers are meant to convey the beauty and div…

Why Christian Fundamentalism Is Still a Big Deal in U.S. Politics, And How It Got That Way

By Eric C. Miller

…ist and evangelical communities. Often those disputes are generational and come down to questions about fundamental values and the proper relationship between believers and outsiders. In the last chapter of the book, I turn from the fundamentalist superchurches represented by leaders like Jerry Falwell to the evangelical megachurch movement that was most prominent in the 1990s and early 2000s. Megachurches like Willow Creek Community Church in Chi…

Letter to the Editor From the Author of Dying for Heaven

By The Editors

…per merits. Bruce Lawrence responds: I never review a book without reading it. This was a tough read, and I read many parts more than once. Let the reader decide between my critiques and the author’s protests in evaluating this book—both its chemical assault on religion and its specious singling out of Muslims, especially Sufi masters, as humorless provocateurs of mindless terror….

Weird Testament: The Bible Gets the R. Crumb Treatment

By Gabriel Mckee

…ld-embossed title that mixes gothic blackletter and Crumb’s own underground-comix typography, is a bit truer to the nature of the contents. Despite the moderate interpretive philosophy behind the adaptation, there’s no doubt that this is a Crumb comic. His Eve is a typically zaftig seductress, and his panel illustrating Rachel’s “comely features” is as rear-end-focused as one might expect. And because he provides so straight an adaptation, he does…

Penn Jillette’s Signs You May Already Be an Atheist

By Steve A. Wiggins

…els it is criminal to be viewed naked by strangers—involuntarily—is a true freedom fighter. This is a comedian with a conscience. He may come down on the wrong side of many traditional issues (global warming and sexual mores, e.g.), but he is keenly aware that too many people suffer. Theodicy in motion. In the end, most of Jillette’s Ten “Suggestions” are not too far from the mark of those in Exodus or Deuteronomy. For instance, instead of taking…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…. I will say that.” Pressed further, he seemed to imply that she’s not out of the running: “I like her a lot. I don’t want to comment on anybody on the list.” And Noem did spend the previous weekend at a Mar-a-Lago donor event. Then again, given that Trump likes to watch others suffer, he could also just be enjoying the spectacle of her political career going up in flames before he drops her….

The Theology of Westboro: The “World’s Meanest Church” Is More Than Picket Signs

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…picketing military funerals, I had to decide if I could continue. A sister-in-law and a brother-in-law were both serving abroad, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. They both lived in the area, and I had to figure out what it would mean if they were killed in action, and I had to attend a funeral picketed by my research subjects. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. But something else did that thrust WBC into my personal life. They threatened to picke…

Comparing Gender Transition and Surrogacy to War and Human Trafficking, Vatican’s ‘Dignitas Infinita’ is an Intellectually Embarrassing and Harmful Mess

By Mary E. Hunt

…divided church. Too Much Information Syndrome. Readers don’t care how such high-level documents are written. The murky details of this sorry history read more like an effort to shift the blame and excuse the failings than anything relevant to the final content. Pope Francis has the last say in these matters. He seems to have a penchant for appearing to be more inclusive and welcoming in personal encounters than in the texts he signs off on. This i…
