By Michael Schulson

…llion living an okay life? Well, that’s the greatest good for the greatest number—the argument that you’re making. If you want a livable lifestyle for the greatest number, then living at a minimal level with 12 billion people would be better. If you want people living the very best possible lifestyle, then 100 million people would be better. If you stop thinking about only human beings, but thinking about all the rest of the living organisms on ea…

By Peter Montgomery

…people of the Irish Republic described themselves as “Roman Catholic”. The number of atheists and agnostics and diverse other faiths was up too, but Roman Catholics remained the majority. However, it is evident, especially in Dublin, that nominal inscription to a religion is one thing, while actual practice is another.

Elephant Orphans and Ecological Spiritualities: An Earth Day Reflection

By Jacob J. Erickson

A large number of atheists and agnostics are deeply passionate about ecological ethics, or how we might be more “in tune” with nature. Culturally, they become fascinated in the personalities of cats and cat videos, the companionship of dogs who offer a kind of faithf…

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald

…tholic Christianity as a factor in his conversion, but he also points to a number of other courses that he took at King’s that led him to the point of conversion. He says of the college’s curriculum that it is “not a ‘great books curriculum’ but it draws heavily on the liberal arts tradition.” He adds, “You can’t study the liberal arts without confronting the rich history of Catholicism.” Indeed The King’s College is a microcosm of the larger comm…

By Rebecca Moore

…his staff was aided by parents, make no mistake about that. In addition, a number of senior citizens are reported to have been injected with poison, but it’s impossible to determine how many.

The presence of hypodermic need…

By Jessica Johnson

…p” text for support. Image: Covenant Eyes website. On the Covenant Eyes website, porn “addiction” is couched as a masculine sin to produce heteropatriarchal gender relations as the norm. A dropdown menu under the “Why Am I Here?” tab reads, first, “To overcome porn, as a Man,” and then “To overcome porn, as a Woman.” Clicking on the different links for “man” and “woman” leads to distinct experiences. The men’s site is far more interactive and enga…

By Max Mueller

…ace is primarily a construction of culture, then the original construction site was on the page, in particular, as I mentioned before, on the pages of our religious writings.

Seek and Ye Shall Find… Anti-Gay Views

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…is designed “to promote what we believe to be biblical truth” and excludes sites that don’t meet that standard. Houdmann says a search on his site would not turn up pornography. If you search “gay marriage,” you would get results that argue against gay marriage. And if you type in “Democratic Party,” your first search result is a site on Marxism.

Opening the Door to Hell: Jewish Terrorism in Israel

By Shalom Goldman

…the Al-Aqsa Mosque is achieved [the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located on the same site in Old Jerusalem as the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism]. On the other hand, although in much smaller numbers, there are Jews who regard the very presence of the mosques as an obstacle to the redemption of the people of Israel. A larger number hold a Kahanist worldview, according to which—irrespective of the conflict with the Palestinians—the Jewish state sho…
