Day of (Anti-Bullying) Silence Shows “Pro-Family” Activists to be Anti-Gay Bullies

By Julie Ingersoll

…right to remain silent even in the classroom. Really? We can force them to talk? Do we want to force them to talk to keep them from protesting bullying? SaveCalifornia responded to today’s planned Day of Silence by advocating that “morally sensitive” Christian parents have their children participate in a walk-out to protect them from being “sexually indoctrinated” in schools where their classmates will remain silent. Moreover, SaveCalifornia’s r…

Forget “Nasty,” Trump’s Got a “Disgusting” Problem

By Karen E. Park

…sible to catalog. “I know where she went, it’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it. No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting, let’s not talk” (of Hillary Clinton). “I’ve never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion” (of John Kasich). “(His sweat) is disgusting. We need somebody that doesn’t have whatever it is that he’s got” (of Marco Rubio). Urination, perspiration, menstruation, mastication, lactation—all these f…

Fasting and Faithy Friends of Convenience

By Sarah Posner

…by the Democratic Party. Never mind whether Democrats finally got good at “talking about their religion,” as if that were the only measure of whether a religious person would want to vote for them. Religious people think about policy, too, and suggesting that they prefer some God talk to a Democratic Party with the backbone to stand up to Paul Ryan is, I would imagine, more than a bit insulting. But let’s not delude ourselves into lamenting the ad…

Greatest Hits of 2015: Religion Stories Our Readers Couldn’t Resist

By Ellie Faustino

…from the email battle of wits. #8 Jesus Went to Hell, But Nobody Wants to Talk About It We can always rely on Ed Simon to give us the real story behind our most revered holidays and traditions, and this Holy Week posting was no exception. The relative silence around Jesus’ “harrowing” of Hell becomes a revealing jumping-off point for a discussion of all those things that are just weird about Christianity. “As a faith,” writes Simon, “Christianity…

Will Mindfulness Change the World? Daniel Goleman Isn’t Sure

By Jay Michaelson

…cological awareness. He’s become the go-to-social-psychologist for the TED Talk set. And his new book, Focus, is a New York Times bestseller. But before any of that fame, Goleman was a hardcore Buddhist meditator—and remains one today. His early books were about the development of the contemplative path, and throughout his work has run the theme of how meditative practice, in secular or spiritual contexts, can lead to greater happiness and peace—a…

Put Your Money Where Your Mind Is: A For-Profit Meditation Studio Opens in New York

By Michael Schulson

…eah, we’ve been telling you guys this for 2,600 years,’” Rinzler said in a talk at Google last February, after citing research about meditation’s neurological benefits. But the pricing model, the basic business plan, and even the aesthetic (“white on white on white” said Yalof Schwartz of her studio’s décor) seem similar for both studios. It’s possible that MNDFL just borrowed heavily from Unplug. But both businesses are also drawing on the templa…

Climate Change is a Sin—Here’s How to Repent For It

By Jay Michaelson

…Like religious conservatives, religious progressives gather in flocks and talk only to one another. (Here I part company somewhat with my colleague Elizabeth Drescher, who recently argued in these pages that liberals’ sense of uniqueness undermines our ability to congregate. Quoting King Missile, “I want to be different—like everybody else I want to be like.”) We out-pious one another: you eat organic, but I eat local. And outside our echo chambe…

Ex-Mormons Shouldn’t Proselytize Mormons… Really?

By Holly Welker

…r over feeling they’ve been deceived, the difficulty of finding someone to talk to about doubts, and how inexperience and naivete impede socializing like most American adults. On February 3, 2014, on the blog of FairMormon, a “non-profit corporation that is dedicated to helping people deal with issues related to anti-Mormonisn,” there appeared. a 1,000 word response entitled “When the Saints Go Marching Out of Control” (which, I admit, is a fabulo…

Passover with Mohammed: A Jewish Journalist in Yemen

By Sam Kestenbaum

…fice that I’m Jewish. The next day, another co-worker named Mohammed and I talk about Judaism. “I have friends and family in Israel,” he says. “My family is Jewish.” “But your name is Mohammed,” I observe. “We converted generations ago,” he waves his hand back, as if pointing to someone behind him. It’s the distant past, but he still feels Jewish, he tells me. Had my ancestors and Mohammed’s wandered in the desert together, looking for a Promised…

Original Spin: Progressives Dismiss Conservative Theology at Their Peril

By Ira Chernus

…estors, all members of Anabaptist churches. In his plainspoken way, he was talking about the stark difference between the sinners and the saved. While he probably wasn’t familiar the writings of his contemporary, Reinhold Niebuhr, the two arrived by very different routes at the same deep concern about selfishness, which both saw as the great threat to human life; unchecked, it would lead to a Hobbesian war of all against all that would tear societ…
