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.

…on sets fleece on a threshing floor, using it as a way of asking God for a sign whether or not to go into battle against the Midianites.

By Sarah Posner

…aign stop, Gingrich, who has been fond of listing executive orders he will sign within hours of becoming president, added a new one to the list. He pledged that he would sign an executive order that would “repeal every aspect of Obama’s anti-religious bias,” a promise which, in true Gingrichian fashion, is sweeping, ridiculous, and impossible. But at his last stand in Florida, the idea of Obama as not only a destroyer of American exceptionalism, b…

I dream tonight of a signal from Salt Lake City, or an even higher place, will empower a different kind of action, a standing down on all sides, a putting away of defensiveness and fearfulness, a putting to rest of Mormonism’s nineteenth-century ghosts and twentieth-century control issues. A signal to the men tasked with the burden of convening an excommunication court this Sunday in Virginia,…
