Does Conservative Watchdog Actually “Get Religion”?

…ing positions in LDS institutional life. They don’t make doctrine or policy. Very, very few women in Mormonism actually do. But they speak for an increasing number of everyday Mormons who know that gay people are our relatives. Family. Saints. Us. Are views on homosexuality evolving in Mormonism? You bet, and like so many changes in the history of religion, that change may be coming from the people in the back pew or at the bottom of the hierarchy…

…been articulating as Popenoe’s assistant more of a religious cloak. So in Beth Allison Barr’s new book, which I’m sure everybody, or most people have heard of, The Making of Biblical Womanhood, she uses the term ‘sanctified’ to describe how people like Dobson recast these cultural or man-made ideas as scriptural ones.

Ross Douthat’s Missing Pregnant Women

…l knock the United States off its global perch, there has always been one excellent reason to bet on a second American century: We have more babies than the competition. [taps on x-ray board and draws circles with pointy thing] Ah, see, I think we may have a problem in this area here.

Braxton hit the climax of the sermon, and, channeling the voices of Fosdick and Coffin, he urged his congregants to fight against immigration injustice, fight sexual bigotry, support civil unions and gay marriage, fight against Christian imperialism—and most provocatively, he urged those at Riverside to be on the side of promoting condom use to curb the spread of AIDS in Afric…
