Pamela Geller in Brooklyn: Free Speech, Hate Speech, and the Futility of Arguing with a Bigot

By Haroon Moghul

…evate the conversation? Geller compares the room, which has something of a free-for-all quality, to a Nazi rally. Really. Security is confused, because while the event has ceased to be the lecture it never got a chance to be, no clear red lines have been crossed. Or the College just doesn’t like Geller enough to intervene. 7:50 Geller retreats to a soundtrack of chanting students: ‘Don’t come back! Don’t come back!’ They’re beaming, exultant in th…

By Elizabeth Drescher

…on over to where the people are if you really want to connect. 2. Ministers-On-The-Go The location based service (LBS) Foursquare reached a milestone over the summer, topping 10 million users—a 10,000 percent increase over its member base in 2009. While there are questions about whether all those members are active, and bigger ones about whether Foursquare will be able to hold its own against LBS applications now offered by Facebook (which just ac…

The Facts About ‘Sharia’ May Surprise You

By Sumbul Ali-Karamali

…gious minorities followed their own religious laws. Everyone followed ruler-made public-interest laws, such as tax laws and trade rules, but minorities could retain their religious and cultural rules of conduct. Therefore, under Islamic rule, Jews were even allowed to grow grapes for wine and Christians allowed to raise pigs—despite prohibitions on Muslim consumption of these products under shariah. These days, the shariah-based legal system is go…

Elephant Orphans and Ecological Spiritualities: An Earth Day Reflection

By Jacob J. Erickson

…s outside in a large half-circle, leaning with anticipation against a waist-high rope. The crowd’s eyes are set on a dusty red trail emerging from a row of trees far on the other side. Cameras begin to click, small gasps and “awws” begin to rumble, and, from the crowd’s sudden muttering and questions, it becomes very clear to me that I have stumbled half hazardly across a kind of spiritual pilgrimage site. We stand near a suburb of Nairobi known s…

Want to Know What Public Education Would Look Like Under Project 2025? Just Take a Look at Oklahoma

By Andrew L. Seidel

…to it. Students and families that don’t fit that biblical mold—LGBTQ+, non-White, non-Christian—are left out. Walters isn’t really hiding the ball or his connections to Project 2025. When Heritage president Kevin Roberts hosted Walters on his podcast, Walters gushed over Roberts, saying “the Heritage Foundation has been an incredible partner to help us develop what the plans are for the state, for our schools, for our education system.” Roberts h…

Smelling the Sacred: Better (Lived) Religion Through Chemistry

By Donovan Schaefer

…time it is echoed, like an avalanche that grows as it goes along.” As this new research suggests, to understand effervescence, we may have to go beyond the familiar markers of excitement (sounds, phrases, etc.) and consider dimensions of experience, such as the chemical, that are usually invisible to social analysis. What if, in a truly Durkheimian move, the smell of the sacred turned out to be the smell of ourselves? Rituals, congregations, and s…

What My Christian High School Taught Me About Being a Black Girl

By Carlyn Ferrari

…stop hearing his voice when I look at my naked body in the mirror. As a 37-year-old woman, I still feel a deep shame about my high school years. And anger. Back then, I wanted the harassment to stop, but I knew I couldn’t stop it. My teachers failed me. My school failed me. And schools like Bartram Trail High School in Florida fail their students when they doctor yearbook photos for the sake of “modesty.” My Christian education groomed me for my…

Eat, Pray, Trash: What the Critics Don’t See

By Ben Brazil

…n certain circles, travel has come to be viewed as a marker of a generous, open-minded, cosmopolitan morality. One way of ridiculing Americans for their closed-mindedness, after all, is to note how few of us even have a passport (something like 22 percent). More generally, a host of books, TV programs, and study-abroad fliers suggest that physical journeys are rocket fuel for spiritual journeys, and that a geographical path is just the earthly dim…

Alabama’s IVF Ruling Reveals Deep Ties to This Increasingly Influential Christian Right Movement

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tep up and hold GOP politicians accountable, by asking the necessary follow-up questions: They need to be asked much more explicitly about their views on personhood amendments, their views on the opinion itself, on the constitutional amendment that voters passed in Alabama in 2018 that formed the basis for it that was essentially like a personhood amendment to the Alabama Constitution. Posner sees a dilemma that will be hard to square for Republic…

“I Had No Intention to Write Atheistically”: Darwin, God, and the 2500-Year History of the Debate

By Edward J. Larson

…most ennobling of human traits to the same gradual, naturalistic, survival-of-the-fittest processes that he envisioned as producing all living things. Here was his theory of evolution by natural selection applied to human nature. Long ago in Africa, he suggested, some anthropoidal apes descended from the trees, started walking erect in the open spaces, began using their hands to hold or to hunt, and developed their brains—all in incremental steps…
