When the Science Guy Misses the Politics

By Sarah Posner

…eading about, and reading the works of people who believe evolution is anti-Christian, I would want Nye to be not only well-versed on science (which he obviously is) but also well-versed on his adversary (which I’m not sure he is). As Abby Ohlheiser wrote at The Wire, Ham won the debate before it even started, because of the framing of “a question from the 1920’s: ‘Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?’” In explai…

《诺亚方舟》，保守派为何愤怒？

By Dan Mathewson

…ningful dialogue about the role of religion. Please read, share, and leave feedback in comments. – Shuang “Sherry” Liang 作者：Dan Mathewson 达伦·阿伦诺夫斯基的《诺亚方舟：创世之旅》，已成为永不消停的文化战争的最新角斗场。上映一周多来，有关它所引发的争议的报道终于令人欣慰地要接近饱和状态了。我相信，只需稍微关注这场争论，你就能发现已听过无数次的内容了：保守派基督徒对[请插入流行词]“很生气”。不论是格莱美颁奖礼（集体婚礼中有同志新人）、美国艺术娱乐电台、奈尔·德葛拉司·泰森（从事科学传播出名的美国天文学家）、圣诞节、瑜伽、哈利波特（全是巫师啊魔法啊）、天线宝宝（紫色宝宝丁丁是同志），还是现在的诺亚方舟，新闻头条告诉我们宗教保守派对此很生气，他们无法淡然处之。以下则是这个老故事的新表述：阿伦诺夫斯基拍了个关于诺亚的电影；宗教保守派感到愤怒；派拉蒙影业努力…

How To Win $20,000 From Sam Harris

By Rob Shryock

…ter a substantial criticism that I feel was not adequately answered in the book itself.” Yikes. If the combined might of philosophers, Christians, many atheists, postmodernists, modernists, and Glenn Greenwald wasn’t enough, how will you persuade Harris? Your piece will have to be balancing act. Obviously, hitting Harris hard is a recipe for failure. Don’t, for example, point out that Harris’s whole project seems inspired by a perverse need to o…

Christian Atheism: The Only Response Worth its Salt to the Zimmerman Verdict

By J. Kameron Carter

…entails social, political, and intellectual struggle, not against some god-in-the-abstract, but rather against a specific or particular god: the “American god.” What I hear in Dr. Butler’s term the “American god”—and what, I think, we all must hear—is not a condemnation of America as such, but rather the courage to name its idolatries so that we can be a different, more just United States of America, “not a perfect, but a more perfect union,” as…

Liberal Intolerance, Or, an Occasion for Public Theology

By Byron Williams

…Apartheid, as well as opposing marriage equality have depended on the less-than-adequate arms of biblical orthodoxy for support. This not only requires an ahistorical relationship to the human condition but an idolatrous one to the rule that has been embraced. But the unhealthy adherence to orthodoxy is not the exclusive property of those who embrace a conservative approach to scripture. An Inclination to Injustice Those who profess tolerance a…

“Like sunshine in the darkest abyss I’ve ever experienced.”

By Joanna Brooks

…fe I wanted my son to have: serving a mission, getting married in the [Mormon] temple, and having children. I saw all of this evaporate when he came out, so it’s really hard. I want him to be sitting next to me at church if that’s where he wants to be. I want him to feel comfortable there. I want him to be with his partner in church, feeling comfortable holding his partner’s hand, if he wants. I don’t want him to choose between a God he loves and…

Yes, Let’s Talk About Kermit Gosnell

By Sarah Posner

…er, pointing out that the community health center which serves the same low-income neighborhood in which the Gosnell clinic was located is considered to be one of the city’s best facilities. But as a recipient of federal funding, of course this center could not offer abortion care. So why did Gosnell’s patients not go to a better, i.e. safer, abortion clinic, for example, the Planned Parenthood in downtown Philadelphia, no more than a few miles fr…

Hiring Discrimination Issue Remains “Under Review” for Faith-Based Office

By Sarah Posner

…ed and disappointed with the administration’s willingness to allow taxpayer-funded non-profits to hire and fire based on religion—thus allowing them to, for example, fire a Muslim employee because she won’t adhere to a Christian statement of faith, or a gay employee because of his sexual orientation. Not only has the practice continued, but the administration has not been particularly transparent in how the Department of Justice decides which fede…

The Myth of the Maya Apocalypse

By Evan Pondel

…Press, 2010), which reveals what the Maya actually believed about this end-of-days scenario. Religion Dispatches recently caught up with the highly sought after Van Stone to see what all the hubbub is about—and to get some answers. According to believers, how will the Maya apocalypse go down? Two of the more common ideas are that the world will end in a puff of smoke or that some rogue planet meteor will hit us, while others believe that our w…

Guns and Babies: What Newtown Does NOT Teach Us

By Anthea Butler

…ild is the worst fate imaginable. To bury anyone you love is an awful, soul-gutting task. When that death comes at the point of a gun, the last thing grieving parents and the loved ones of the deceased need to hear are clergy members and religious pundits prattling on with a false moral equivalence that goes like this: if God and guns are allowed back in our schools, tragedies like Sandy Hook will not happen again. Who would say such a thing? For…
