Sikh Temple Shooting: Of Martian Rovers and Terror in Holy Spaces

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…s videos about Entebbe and memories of Munich in 1972 accompanied the alef-bet. In the way that both children and adults sometimes do, I took the car as a sign that we were not safe because we were different. As Jay Michaelson argues, we can “recognize millennial thinking in our own minds,” and mine seemed to always expect—briefly, quite irrationally—an undoing of the world. I imagined armed men entering the quiet sanctuary, always marking the nea…

Turn On The News: The Times Has to Make a Choice: It Can’t Laugh at Satanic Claims and Take the Christian Right at Face Value

By Daniel Schultz

…US context, its shape and content would have been much different. You can bet, for example, that von Hauswolff’s claim that “Catholic integralism won over art, but not over love” would have been “balanced” with a proponent of integralism explaining why Catholicism is a more authentic expression of the French identity than the music of an agnostic Swede. But more importantly, omissions like this demonstrate just how flawed the Times’ typical cover…

With ‘Vermin’ Remark Trump Crosses Fully into Nazi Territory

By Robert P. Jones

…ip with the Brookings Institution, nearly all voters who supported Trump in 2020 (94%) said they planned to support him in 2024. More than three-quarters of White evangelicals—along with nearly six in ten of both White non-evangelical/mainline Protestants (57%) and White Catholics (59%)—say that if the election were held today, they would vote for Trump. These levels of support from White Christians are virtually unchanged from 2016 and 2020. Like…

Economy Bankrupting the Culture War?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…rs and families has “transformed the cultural puzzle” in Congress and will free Obama to change social policy, including lifting the ban on gay troops, Sabato said. “While the country isn’t paying attention to social issues, he can move the ball down the field in the Democratic direction,” he said. Even the usual complaining by the religious right apparently won’t be enough to torpedo his confirmation on March 26: Opponents of Berry’s policy posit…

Kirk Cameron Joins the Anti-Mormon Chorus
(Sort Of)

By Julie Ingersoll

…d the Mormon Church by uniting with Glenn Beck in the two events that were promoted as spiritual. Cameron, known also for his part on the television series Growing Pains and more recently nicknamed Banana-man (along with Ray Comfort) for the anti-evolution DVDs that became the source of tremendous internet humor, said he hadn’t actually been invited to be part of Divine Destiny. But he declined anyway: I had heard that there were plans to put me o…

Death Penalty, Debated (Dedicated to the Memory of Sarah Horowitz)

By Bill Berkowitz

…had never met to join in her campaign of hope, of yes we can. And you can bet that when she called me from Iowa to relate her progress there was a smile in her voice and not a hint of complaint about the weather or anything else. Sarah was also unalterably opposed to the death penalty. In his eulogy, Horowitz described how Sarah, often suffering from her own considerable list of physical ailments, would nevertheless brave “bitter cold Bay Area ni…

2010: What Did We Believe In?

By Gary Laderman

…virulent that hatred has become. Americans are willing to throw religious freedom and tolerance out the window, a posture all too familiar in the nation’s history and sadly contradictory to the sacred principles upon which this country was founded. Opposition to the construction of a Muslim community center in New York; the brutal attack on a Muslim cabbie; the proposed burning of Qur’ans by a small church that created a media sensation; the pass…

Does Religion Drive Evolution? And Other Questions from the Cutting Edge of Biohistory

By Arri Eisen

…row in new ways that improve analytical ability, allowing the capacity for better math and money handling skills. Such ability would of course be selected for in centuries’-worth of banking environments. See why this gets folks edgy? A human-created environment (culture) that affects one cultural/religous group (Jews) that might drive genetic change over a relatively short period of time. Harpending, Cochran and others identify many such ‘recent’…

Opting for Lucy Over Linus: Watching The Great Pumpkin in the Age of Trump

By Jonathan Malesic

…it’s less likely to be true. I can appreciate why someone would make that bet. The Great Pumpkin promises not just candy, but toys, maybe money. Linus’s adoring companion Sally seemed to me like the person whose faith is less sincere, but who nevertheless represents many believers as they actually are: tentative, conflicted, self-interested. After a year in which I followed the obsessive investigations into the mind of the Trump voter, my sympath…

You’re Crazy

By Daniel Schultz

…ne system, putting him out of work for a considerable stretch. He lost the bet, and the cancer came back. I’m sure he would have been more than a little surprised to hear that his oncologist was required by state law to evaluate him for “physical, psychological, emotional, demographic, or situational” risk factors before removing his cancer. What he would have made of his doctor asking him if anyone had pressured him to have surgery, I don’t know….
