Does Religious Freedom Extend to Child Endangerment? It’s Not as Simple as It Seems

By Rebecca Moore

…elve Tribes faced subsequent raids in Nova Scotia, California, France, and Germany. And in 2013, Bavarian authorities removed 40 children from Twelve Tribes communities and placed them in foster care. The European Court of Human Rights upheld the action in 2018. Child endangerment is a real problem. Governmental claims of child endangerment, however, are frequently inflated to justify state intervention in the case of new religions. In their book,…

Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

…laveowners, to slaves themselves; of how it was invoked in churches across Germany by pastors to rally citizens to the cause of Adolf Hitler; and of how it was bandied about in the 1960s to oppose civil rights. He was also one of the journalists to warn against using Bible verses against Bible verses and he noted that the apostle Paul was executed precisely for disobeying the laws of the Roman government by a deranged and paranoid emperor Nero. Pi…

What’s So Scary About the Inclusion of ‘God’ in the Russian Constitution?

By Katherine Kelaidis

…God in its constitution, many more liberal states absolutely do, including Germany, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland. In these instances, the constitutional reference to God is frequently a nod to a country’s shared religious heritage and does little to undermine the principles of secularism and pluralism upon which modern liberal democracy is built. Arguably, such references in fact enforce these values, by offering the seal of divine imp…

Rage Against the New Age Machine: Three Days at the Osho International Meditation Resort

By Diane Winston

…g the weekend, there were (mostly young) men and women from France, Italy, Germany, Russian, Israel, the U.S., Japan, Argentina and India. Some, like us, were there for a short stay, but others came to study at the multiversity for a week or even several months. Still others worked at the resort, supplying volunteer labor in exchange for courses. Seekers came to Osho to satisfy their spiritual needs. Most wanted to find their best self. My need, I…

The King of Irony

By Laury Silvers

…nation in films of racist hate rallies, whether in anti-Semitic rallies in Germany in the 1930s, in Alabama in the 1960s, or in Yorba Linda this February. What kind of “cooperation” does King want? In reporting instances of planned violence, Muslims have been not just cooperative, but proactive. The Nigerian would-be airplane bomber was reported by his own father. The attempted Times Square bomber was first identified by a Muslim street vendor. Wo…

Why Salma Hayek Adapting The Prophet for Screen Makes Sense

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…with him, in his glove compartment, on his nightstand, and when he went to Germany as a soldier. Reportedly it gave him comfort after his mother’s death. He would underline and annotate copies and give them away to friends. Sample annotation: “A singer can sing his songs, but they must have a ear to receive the songs.” We don’t know when John Lennon got his copy, but by the time of the Beatles’ infamous visit to the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi…

…ld a ban on religious Christmas carols in a New Jersey school district. In Germany, a group of Catholics want to take the Santa out of Christmas. They want to replace the consumerist Claus with the selfless St. Nicholas. Druidry is now recognized as a religion by Great Britain. That only took a few thousand years. A priest at St. Vincent College in Pennsylvania was fired when pornography was discovered on his computer. The story takes an interesti…

‘Rome is Gay’

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…Fifteen hundred years later still, when European travelers (from England, Germany and elsewhere) made Rome the main stop on their “Grand Tour,” a new problem emerged in this Christian imperial center, now dominated by the Vatican: what to do when many of them died, and died outside of the Catholic faith? There was quite literally nowhere to bury these unsettling, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox corpses. So a new, Acattolica (non-Catholic) cemeter…

HuffPo Columnist Tries to Link Darwin to Hitler

By Lauri Lebo

…as a new thing under the sun. Eugenics programs in United States and later Germany were warm-up acts for the mass slaughters that were to come. Hitler’s ideas, Dr. (David) Berlinski (another senior Discovery fellow) carefully notes, “came from many different sources but no honest account will omit Darwin.” A reading of Mein Kampf makes that clear. Certainly, Berlinski says, the men who formulated Nazi ideology “weren’t reading the Gospels.” Well…
