By Andy Kopsa

…from California which shows boy births increasing in Chinese, Indian, and Korean American households after 1980. And another House committee testimony points to “populations demonstrated to practice” sex-selective abortions living in America as reason for concern. There are zero studies of abortions performed for the sake of sex-selection in the United States. The rest of the testimony in favor of PRENDA comes from religious anti-abortion activi…

The Religious Lives of Soldiers

By Jonathan Ebel

…t now there should be dozens of great forthcoming books on the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War writ large, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iraq and, to my knowledge, there aren’t. It has been almost seventy years and still there isn’t a good religious history of American involvement in the Second World War. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? I grew up in Minnesota. Pissing people off terrifies me. I’m only sl…

Trump Doesn’t Need to “Pivot” if Evangelicals Do it For Him

By Paul Harvey

…model to follow for picking any future justice. Senator James Lankford, a Southern Baptist leader from Oklahoma who has emerged as a Tea Party favorite, repeated the message. “Really clear vision for a strong America tonight from Trump” he tweeted after Trump’s acceptance speech at the RNC, a dark and nasty address even by the low standards set by that strange gathering. The firming up of support from former Cruz voters appears to be having some…

Gingrich’s Apocalyptic Fantasies, Again

By Sarah Posner

…i-fi fantasy, according to experts, Bartlett’s theories about about it are promoted by Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Frank Gaffney, and other neoconservatives. As the Times piece notes, “while the message may play well to hawkish audiences, who might warm to the candidate’s suggestion that the United States engage in pre-emptive military strikes against Iran and North Korea, many nuclear experts dismiss the threat. America’s current missile defense sy…

With This Thanksgiving Bombshell SCOTUS Began Implementation of an Ultraconservative Agenda

By Andrew L. Seidel

…nd that was in early August, before things got really bad. At one point in South Korea, half of the country’s cases were traced back to religious worship. That’s because churches are different from liquor stores or bike repair shops or even a one-on-one acupuncture appointment. They’re more like going to a movie, or taking in a play, or listening to a lecture, or watching an indoor sporting event. All of those were banned under the New York orders…

Bad Faith: The Catholic Hierarchy’s Pointless Campaign Against LGBT Rights

By Casey and Mary Ellen Lopata

…invoking noble sounding principles but applying them only when they can be used against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington did something similar last year when he announced that the legalization of same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia had forced him to stop offering health insurance to the spouses of new employees of Catholic Charities. The marriage equality law, he explained, would force h…

Check Your Caller ID, Jesus Is Calling

By Sarah Posner

…y times.” He got a standing ovation. Keynote speaker Pastor Greg Laurie focused on the quest for a spiritual awakening, and why every American needs to be alert to it. America has enemies, after all, like North Korea and Iran. Laurie’s praying for another Jesus movement; to not pray for our country, he maintained, is a sin. “We can pray authoritatively and confidently,” he said confidently. Jesus is calling our country, Laurie said. He asked the…

Nxivm Scam Is Dead, but ‘Brainwashing’ Pseudoscience Lives On

By James T. Richardson

…t Party. That was not true, and what happened there, and with a few GIs in Korea who refused to be repatriated for a time after the Korean War ended, is easily explicable using well-known concepts and processes from sociology and social psychology. No magical black box of “brainwashing” is needed. It took a while for courts and judges to realize that those opposing new religions were duping them, and problematic brainwashing testimony did prevail…

Hating Liberally: Why We ❤️ Zombies

By Haroon Moghul

…to watch. We recently learned, for example, that we can’t even mock North Korea, because someone might turn around and hack the whole studio. Zombies can’t leak embarrassing emails, or even write emails. They can’t protest, picket, or make you feel guilty for wanting to watch, like actual people can. They can’t boycott advertisers (though they may be able to eat them). They don’t even hate us. They can’t get enough of us. The feeling, as it turns…

The Trumpocalypse: One Year Down, 999 to Go

By Jonathan Malesic

…l and religious minorities, women, LGBT persons, and many others. Voters Kruse spoke to admit that Trump hasn’t made things better for them. In fact, some say they don’t really expect him to. The opioid-abuse epidemic that kills more locals every year is “not going to improve for a long time,” 76-year-old Maggie Frear said. We’re all mortal. If you don’t care what happens to the world after you leave it, or to people alive now whom you never see—i…
