By Sarah Posner

…he Western ideals of ‘liberty and justice for all,’” “prescribes cruel and unusual punishments,” and “promotes a restrictive business environment that strangles the freedoms of capitalism.” ACT!

Looking at Death: Images of 9/11, Before, During, and After

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…many times the image of a cross is highlighted in coverage of ground zero, usually a nicely cropped shot of the ruins of steel girders. Though in good Protestant fashion, this is a cross without a dead body.

Will God-Gaming Alter the Bible?

By Rachel Wagner

…is that we must play as men, with the attendant patriarchal implications (pun unavoidable). But other questions remain, like what if anything it means if I, as a woman, play as Abraham and direct the conquest of Canaan? Also, what will players as patriarchs be able to do and not do? For example, will the game present us with the choice of whether or not to begin the sacrifice if Isaac, or present us with options in other theologically loaded event…

War on Christmas, War on Schmistmas, Happy Holiday

By Julie Ingersoll

…reflect on our lives and how we live in the world. All religions (and the cultures in which they exist) have such seasons and, I would conjecture, they are evolutionarily valuable. It’s a time of taking stock. I’m not a Pagan either but I would think that the Pagans might have a legitimate gripe with the Christians; after all, the holiday was theirs first.

By Sarah Posner

…omething wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.” He then pledges to end “Obama’s war on religion.” Newt Gingrich has for some time subscribed to fabricated theories that anti-American secularists aim to drive religion from the public square.
