According to AP‘s Diane Jeantet, the Court’s president wrote that “It is not to be assumed that a humorous satire has the magic power to undermine the values of the Christian faith, whose existence goes back more than two thousand years.” Amen. There is a strong déjà-vu quality to the protests that have recently erupted around the Brazilian comedy troupe Porta dos Fundos’s presentation of Christ as a gay man. In Netflix’s Christmas…

By Daniel Schultz

…ut 11% of working Americans, compared to roughly 20-25% of the population that is evangelical—but as we know, religious practice is on the decline in the US*, and boy, it sure looks like organized labor has been mightily energized by the events of the past couple of weeks. What’s more, the strongest correlation with voting is racial, not religious. Not only do blacks vote overwhelmingly Democratic, but Hispanics—the fastest growing demographic in…

Cooler than Thou: Will Hipsters Wreck Christianity?

By Nicole Greenfield

…ne are a thing of the past to such groups because, as the director of a Manhattan-based artist ministry says, “that just wouldn’t fly in a post-Christian city like New York.” At Pete’s Candy Store, the bar where Revolution holds its Sunday evening services, Bakker tries to build not just a solid community—through a deep commitment to fighting social injustices, for example—but an egalitarian one as well.

By Lauri Lebo

…stand and refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in class. Will believes that until gays and lesbians receive the same rights and recognition as heterosexuals in this country, the phrase “liberty and justice for all” is just a farce and he refuses to be a part of it.

Birtherism at Values Voters

By Sarah Posner

…this video. Peterson, who appeared in a cowboy hat and boots and claimed that President Obama “hates America,” led Dave Weigel to tweet, “This episode of “Hee-Haw” was brought to you by WorldNetDaily.” Peterson made clear he was invited here by the Family Research Council’s Tom McCluskey. Peterson not only thinks Obama hates America, he also doesn’t believe Obama was born in the United States. I asked him that after his appearance, and here’s his…

The newly-freed Israelites would love to be as rich as they remember the Egyptians being, but their God calls them to a “just-enough” economy that prevents exploitation. We’ll see if he can pull the same rabbit out of the hat in Madison. *The Abrahamic faiths, anyway. **Note to those who troll the comments: that’s scripture paraphrase, not quote….

Discovery Institute’s Bill Dembski Recants

By Lauri Lebo

…teach that the Flood was universal. As a biblical inerrantist, I believe that what the Bible teaches is true and bow to the text, including its teaching about the Flood and its universality. What I find most interesting about this is the Discovery Institute has maintained a steady drumbeat on the issue of academic persecution, pushing the argument in countless articles (see here, here, and here), as well as in the movie Expelled. They argue that…

I guess that was an indication that it had been removed,” the eyewitness said. “It appears to be a case of pure anti-Muslim harassment,” Weinstein said. “They’re facing a formal EEO complaint.
