The Rise and Fall of an American Gang: Religion as Camouflage?

By Spencer Dew

…ganging up and making a living through available means. This final chapter stands as a kind of coda to the work, a portrait of one group of Stones today, but it also differs from the rest of the text in its intimacy, its first-person engagement. As this book will surely help lead to other studies of the Stones and El Rukns by other writers and scholars, hopefully Williams and Moore will continue to pursue the story of the kids of Chicago today, th…

Will God-Gaming Alter the Bible?

By Rachel Wagner

…y daily responsibilities or activities? I won’t be able to resist entering the fray when the beta version is released today, if only to see how we as a culture we are trying to figure out the relationship between play, theology, and performance of belief. If you’re curious to learn of my progress, you can follow my tweets at www.twitter.com/godwired….

Tea Party Bullies on Homosexuality: “No Punishment Too Severe?”

By Julie Ingersoll

…one to (among others) Sharron Angle of Nevada, Ken Buck of Colorado, Marco Rubio of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Joe Miller of Alaska, and Christine O’Donnell of Delaware. You can bet that no matter how the numbers finally shake out in next month’s election, Barton and DeMint, and their views on “Judeo-Christian heritage” and “biblical law,” will continue to have allies in…

Dads Against Daughters Dating

By Julie Ingersoll

…ission to their fathers until they have been given over to submit to their husbands. These organizations all promote literature, lectures, conferences, and other materials intended to promote this perspective, as well as the starkly delineated gender norms and expectations upon which this view is based. I’d be willing to bet the t-shirt will be showing up at homeschool conventions across the country this spring….

Your Money or Your Civil Rights? Gays Vote GOP

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…l Christians. Republican voting gays made their case this past week on Michelangelo Signorile’s XM radio show. Jim, in Lexington, Kentucky told Signorile that he voted a straight Republican ticket to “send a message” to the Democrats for not doing enough to advance LGBT rights. “I want to see the Democrats take a big beating like the Republicans did,” Jim said. “so maybe in the future they’ll wake up and start doing what they promised.” “But do yo…

Rewriting the History of Catholic Schools in America

By Marian Ronan

…the “common schools.” By doing this, according to God in America, Hughes helped make religious freedom a founding principle of American national identity. I must confess that part of me would like to just go along with this story. As a fellow Brooklyn Catholic put it, it’s a welcome change to have a Catholic bishop portrayed as something other than a sex-abuse enabler. And, as historian Philip Jenkins observes, contemporary US anti-Catholicism is…

Taking the Right-Wing Echo Chamber to the Halls of Congress

By Lauri Lebo

…al exam in AP history and gets at least a C on the test. I’d be willing to bet a sizable amount of money she can’t. Actually, I’m just amazed Christine O’Donnell wasn’t on her list. Bachmann’s suggestions shows just how tightly sealed the right-wing echo chamber has become. While the new conservative freshman don’t appear to be the kind of politicians who would need schooled on the proper Republican talking points, Bachmann’s taking no chances, as…

The Economy is Sacred, Stupid

By Gary Laderman

…wealth, debt, and greed. For many good Christian Americans, the boundaries between religious life and work life are clear, separate, distinct. For some, it’s the Jews who demonstrate an unhealthy mix of religious orientation and love of money. Am I stepping out of bounds by raising the possibility that perhaps a good many Christians who love this country, and who hate this president and blame the government for all that ails them, are religious in…

Michael Vick Walks on Water: Updated

By Nicole Greenfield

…d Newz Kennels (a Virginia-based dogfighting ring in which dogs were routinely electrocuted, drowned, and hung for poor performance), he signed with the Eagles at the beginning of the 2009 season. Facing an uphill battle as a surplus quarterback and the subject of public condemnation, Vick was a committed player from the outset, with a strong work ethic and a positive team attitude; a significant change from his pre-incarceration days as somewhat…

Way Beyond Atheism: God Does Not (Not) Exist

By Paul Wallace

…the paperback edition of The God Delusion, he attempts to distinguish himself from religious fundamentalists by insisting that “nothing will change their minds.” This is true; the average religious fundamentalist is dogmatically rigid and fixed in place. In his own eyes, however, Dawkins is a paragon of broad-minded humility; he writes, “If all the evidence in the universe turned in favor of creationism, I would be the first to admit it, and I wo…
