But LaHaye did more than simply contribute to public discourse, or propose a particular religious perspective; he help facilitate a way of seeing the world, of being in the world, that will long outlive him. LaHaye’s death has already been met with wave upon wave of opinion pieces pointing to his body as evidence of—no really,…

The church’s main tack in the lawsuit, summarized Thomas Birge, Katia’s father, and attorney for part of the case, was representing Hernandez as “the guy setting up chairs in the basement, with no theological, pastoral, or guidance responsibilities.” In fact, Birge argues, Hernandez’s resume with the church places him “…

Does Atheism Have a Misogyny Problem?

By Julia Galef

…ash out some important empirical questions: What percentage of women would feel uncomfortable in a situation like Watson’s? What percentage of women would actually enjoy such a proposition, either because they would find it flattering or because they might actually be interested in a tryst with a stranger? How much of an imposition would it be on men to ask them to change their behavior? It’s obviously impossible to measure these quantities precis…

By Sarah Posner

…lls showing him significantly behind both Romney and Gingrich. For this one-of-19 daughter of a reality show that depicts a fundamentalist Christian view of the role of women, motherhood, and reproduction, supporters look at Santorum and say, “hey, he’s like us, he’s a man of character, he’s a humble guy, he’s on our level, he’s somebody we can relate to.

So I’m a little invested in the idea.) First, we don’t need to “win” on the clobber verses—we need to tie. I agree that nobody will ever “win” on the definitive reading of Romans 1:26. However, many LGBT people (and allies) have put forth plausible, close readings of it, as we…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…hurch’s well-financed push against marriage equality in California—the rank-and-file sitting in the pews each week are more open to granting full rights to their gay and lesbian neighbors. Leaders who continually speak out against gays and lesbians might take notice that their congregations are already many steps ahead of them in tolerance, acceptance, and compassion. Why Did Gay Rights Take Such a Hit? All this good news begs the question, though…
