Conservative Military Chaplains Fight Repeal of DADT

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…all service members, even those of another faith or no faith at all. To refuse counseling to any service member, for any reason, would be a breach of that duty and would require an appropriate command action. So, yes, when you’re in the military, the military code trumps all: chaplains are bound to serve all members of the military whether they like them or not.

By Annika Brockschmidt

…se, Alito will not recuse himself. Why would he? Clarence Thomas hasn’t recused himself, and the alleged “ethics code” is a joke. Noone’s coming to enforce it—and Alito knows it. He also seems very confident Democrats won’t try to impeach him (an effort that would probably fail, but would nevertheless be embarrassing and could damage the GOP in the run-up to a presidential election). And, to be honest, he’s probably spot-on about that. Dick Durbin…

Will Religion Solve the Obesity Crisis?

By Andrew Aghapour

…s Roundling’s study shows, religious thoughts seem to help with short-term code switching because they offer a concrete set of alternative values. Similarly, when Warren says that caring for his body is a “stewardship issue,” he might be actively molding his worldview so that chocolate cake is no longer a pleasure, but a temptation to be resisted. Healthy living, of course, amounts to more than quick decisions: it involves cultivating new routines…

…ersity. She was removed from the school’s counseling program last year because she refused to counsel homosexual clients. The university contended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics. That code, by the way, is clear about what is expected from counselors: Counselors do not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, culture, disability, ethnicity, race, religion/spirituality, gender, gender ident…

Sam Harris Says Qur’an “Not That Good”

By Hussein Rashid

…redeeming value. So all these people, all that history, has no meaning because Harris says so. They are all wrong. He will save them. What of all the people in America who read Jalal ud-Din Rumi, the 13th-century Persian poet, who was so deeply inspired by the Qur’an that his oevre is called the Qur’an in Persian? Are they wrong too? Is Sam Harris really the only person on Earth who knows that the Qur’an has no value? Harris also says “you can wan…

What if Israel Were in Germany? An Alternate History

By Haroon Moghul

We also have a strong bias towards assuming that the status quo was…
