By Hebah H. Farrag

…he also feels a growing sense of frustration with the Muslim community. “I signed that letter because it’s a step forward,” Aly said. “But the letter just focuses on Muslim issues, and at this point, we don’t need to have 400 people sign one letter. We need 400 letters—you know what I mean? We are not one voice, we are not a monolith.” Given the demographics of American Muslims, the most diverse faith community in the nation, it might seem natural…

For Conservatives, the Future Looks Dim… and Gay

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ieve it not to be sinful, which is an encouraging sign. A less encouraging sign for who oppose equality for LGBT people is that 60% of those polled now believe homosexuality should be accepted rather than condemned, as compared to 31% ten years ago. Additionally, 72% see marriage equality for LGBT people as “inevitable,” with even 70% of white Evangelical Christians agreeing, even though only 22% are in favor of marriage equality. That 22% is sign…

Better Dead Than ‘Fed’: Behind Palin’s Dig at ‘Unbiblical’ Fed

By Julie Ingersoll

…legitimately held by civil government (because God didn’t grant it) and it promotes inflation, which he says is nothing more than theft from those who are not in debt in favor of those who are. Many of North’s works are popularly accessible and have made their way into fundamentalist church Bible studies, as well as homeschool and Christian school curriculum. He lectures on these issues at American Vision’s annual Worldview Super Conferences and h…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…body of Christ, can’t show that difference is not a bad thing, and it’s a sign of God’s divinity, if we can’t show what it’s like to live in the tension of those differences, and find unity, what hope is there for the rest of the world?” Nevertheless, Oliveto is optimistic about the future of the church that still makes her soul sing. “I really believe there’s a love revolution going on,” she said of the response to her election. Even those who r…

Can Democrats Question Amy Coney Barrett’s Faith? Yes! Should They? Well…

By Daniel Schultz

…ut I also incline toward E.J. Dionne’s observation that, “far from being a sign of “bigotry,” invitations to public figures to explain how their faith influences their ethical and political views is a sign of respect and of taking faith seriously.” The idea that faith is somehow exempt from evaluation or pushback in fact empties it of its value and renders it meaningless. Look, it even says in the good book that Christians ought to be ready “to gi…

By Peter Montgomery

…lam by luring them into bed. The stories claimed he made the four-fingered sign of the Muslim Brotherhood during sex, like a religious form of fisting. The allegations are often ludicrous. But the arrests of LGBTQ people lend legitimacy to the regime’s other repressive measures. The tortured bodies of trans women and gay men cement the dictatorship’s bloody but insecure foundations.

Raising Children the Right Way

By Jeffrey Feldman

…n feminine behavior in boyhood and adult homosexuality. There are telltale signs of discomfort with . . . Boys and deep-seated and disturbing feelings that they [are] different and somehow inferior.

One reason for this is that they are not being told the truth about their children’s gender confusion, and they have no idea what to do about it. Homosexual…

By Diane Winston

See here for the full list of discussions so far, or sign up here for the RSS feed. Diane Winston_____________ Watching this week with my mother and daughter (“Why is she shooting at that man? Which reality is this? So are we the bad guys?”), I didn’t need much convincing to see the episode in terms of familial relations: mixed, missed, and mordant. That many of the relationships played out between the poles of opposition and differentiation ma…

Beyond Retribution: Bin Laden’s Death in its Cosmic Context

By Eric Reitan

…ur crime, you will not experience remorse. In this sense real remorse is a sign of coming into alignment with the good, of coming to care about the true and the right. In short, it is a sign of moral redemption. Hungering for Redemption And so my theory is this: at the root of our desire for retribution is the wish that those who have wronged us feel the full weight of what they have done, suffering remorse proportionate in severity to the gravity…

Leaving Empire: The Risks of American Insularity

By Ryann Croken

…ing. I could not imagine a more offensively appropriate way to be welcomed home to the self-proclaimed center of the universe. Last week, in what was for me a remarkably profound coincidence, Mr. Dobbs was pressured to resign from CNN. Let us hope and pray that his resignation is part of a broader movement to break all the borders that divide us, and to understand that aliens simply do not exist on this small, shared planet of ours….
