Don’t Be Fooled By Trump’s Acceptance of Marriage Equality: Here’s What to Expect

By Sunnivie Brydum

…gelicals, Mormons, and Catholics to the polls in support of the Republican ticket at percentages the GOP hasn’t seen in years. Combined with vice-president-elect Mike Pence’s proud history of support for anti-LGBT, anti-women “religious freedom” legislation, it’s clear the incoming administration owes a debt to white religiously conservative America. Anyone unwilling to see that and brace for the ways that debt will be repaid is living under a roc…

Sarah Palin Calls Biblical Patriarchs “Neanderthals”

By Julie Ingersoll

…rro, who was the first female vice presidential candidate on a major party ticket, for all she did for “those of us who came after her.” One has to wonder what Ferraro was thinking as Palin carried on, placing Ferraro smack in the middle of Palin’s own reading of feminist history dating to Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Palin noted some things that had not changed in the years between Ferraro’s campaign and her own: the “neanderthals…

Ihram: Dressing for the King

By Amina Wadud

…personal preparations. Actually the whole thing has been paid in full, the ticket has been purchased with the itinerary sent to me and now I am waiting for the visa process. The thing is, I still have the entire month of October and one week in November before I get on my way. I’ve passed more than 50 days on this blog and have exhausted the best of what I have to say. I think I’ll take a break from the daily routine, and submit one or two a week…

Niqab and Short Shorts

By Hussein Rashid

…of protest is to wear the niqab and nothing else. Then, the women will get tickets, not for being nude, but for being clothed. In my opinion, that would show the absolute absurdity of the state trying to control women’s dress. I have written elsewhere that this sort of action, of controlling a woman’s body, is simply male penis worship run amok. These ladies, who call themselves Niqabitches, have done a great service in showing the inherent contra…

Replacing Godless Hollywood with Bible-Based “Cultural Dominion”

By Julie Ingersoll

…Congressman Tom Tancredo is running for governor on the Constitution Party ticket, endorsed by conservative blogger and CNN contributor Erick Erickson. Tea party groups are learning about the “biblical basis” of the Constitution from the Constitution Party-related Institute on the Constitution. The younger Phillips travels the country, to conventions and conferences sponsored by Vision Forum and its Reconstructionist allies, and is a renowned spea…

Shucking Off The ’50s. And the ’40s. And the…

By Daniel Schultz

…relate to as how they relate. After all, social conservatives, unionists, and yes, even the rich deserve political representation, though not in today’s crapulent and apparently unchanging form. A new and more just way of being together might be just the ticket to getting the American political whale off the beach. All it would take would be a charismatic and articulate leader, who, along with a thoughtful and responsible political establishment,…

Romney Goes to Bat Against Reid in Nevada

By Joanna Brooks

…loyment, and bankruptcy in the nation. Over the last two decades, more than 1.4 million people moved to Nevada in search of cheap housing and boom-time fueled hospitality, tourism, and construction jobs, more than doubling the state’s population. Now, those speculation-and-spending fueled good times are gone. That volatility does not treat mild-mannered Mormon politicians well: be they Reids, or Romneys. Just last week, Jan Shipps, a longtime scho…

Your Money or Your Civil Rights? Gays Vote GOP

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…Party. Of the six recent Congresses essentially controlled by the GOP, from 1995 to 2006, not one ever reduced federal outlays. (The last year in which federal outlays were lower than the year before was 1965, when Democrats ran both the White House and Congress.) As soon as Republicans controlled both Congress and the White House in 2001, spending really took off, with more than $100 billion added to federal outlays every year that Bush sat in th…

The Problem of Evil in Free Market Theology

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…to precisely this question was voiced by James Buchan in his extraordinary 1997 book, Frozen Desire: In the new world, first, there is no such thing as Providence, merely probability, which can be studied at the gaming table. Second, there is such a thing as usury: whatever Aristotle and the Gospels say, money is productive of more money, it does breed, and on Sunday, too… Third, the Church is quite wrong and human beings are all more or less ali…

Strippers versus Church: Cosmic Battle With Civic Consequences

By Joseph Laycock

…’s evil. Dunfee is not describing a social evil, but a transcendent one. In 1988 sociologist William Swatos surveyed a group of Christians picketing the sale of pornography at 7-Eleven. 98% affirmed their belief that there was a force of “transcendent evil” involved in pornography. For many evangelicals these kinds of protests supersede mere politics: They are acts of spiritual warfare against Satan. On the other side of the protest, good and evil…
