…ple, built more than a century ago by Anglo-American pioneers like my great-great-great grandfather. The young blonde-haired, pink-stiletto wearing 21st century daughters of the original Utah pioneers.

I even wanted to share how an unorthodox Mormon like me is deeply moved by the love and devotion this religion—so widely misunderstood, so ofte…

By Joanna Brooks

…l or external. And as my friend Mitch wrote recently on mormonsformarriage.com, “despite how you feel, you are not alone. Your path likely won’t be easy, but don’t let anyone dissuade you from loving your Savior.

…ere persecution, bullying, and violence occur.” The announcement of the protest comes on the heels of an announcement by another “ex-gay” group, Exodus, that they would no longer sponsor the annual “Day of Truth” that encourages students to “counter the promotion of homosexual behavior” with a Christian message of intolerance. “All the recent attention to bullying helped us realize that we need to equip kids to live out biblical tolerance and grac…

Christians are ‘Jerks,’ The New Scopes Trial, Pastafarians’ Rights

By Michael J. Altman

…once expected, at least according to the Mayan calendar. From Qumran to dot-com: the Israel Antiques Authority and Google are working together to digitize the Dead Sea Scrolls and make them available to the public. Finally, did the Berenstain Bears become practicing Christians? *This post has been corrected. The church is located in Memphis, Michigan, not Memphis, Tennessee. The First Baptist Church of Memphis (Tennessee), by all appearances, prom…

Atheists and Christians Compete to Give More

By Lauri Lebo

…y for their causes, the atheists or the Christians, with an apparently late-in-the-game representation by the site’s Muslim community. According to Religion News Service: It all started Dec. 8 when Margaret Crymes, a 26-year-old member of Reddit’s Christian group from Fullerton, Calif., suggested to the community that it raise money for the Christian relief group World Vision. “If every member of r/Christianity donates just $4.45, we can build a h…

…of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. But the world did not end. Camping allowed that he may have made a mathematical error. I’m going to be in the company of a bunch of scientists on May 21, talking about communicating human evolution. (I’m so doomed.)…

Why the Hell Does Hell Still Matter?

By Kathryn Gin

…under the title Salvation for All Men in 1782. Clearly Bell’s universalist-leaning view isn’t new. What’s surprising isn’t his posture, it’s the recurrence of controversies over hell, century after century, in such similar ways. Why is hell such a big deal in America? Or to put it more bluntly: why the hell does hell still matter? According to a number of columnists, hell doesn’t really matter anymore—at least not to most Americans. Hell, they su…

By Julie Ingersoll

…erman Cain (the only one of the three with an announced formal exploratory committee) took a similar stand, as quoted on Statesman.com: Get government out of the way of our education so we can educate ourselves and our children. There are some people in our government who aren’t interested in the same things that you and I are interested in. They are trying to create some kind of world order. Bachmann touted her background as an Iowan and a homesc…

Pastor Now Sees Anti-Gay Movement as “Mean-Spirited”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ead of human beings with real lives. It’s easy to fear “those people,” and feel self-righteous in condemning “them.” Which is why it is important for gay and lesbian people to be out and up-front about who they are, and who God has created them to be. The more people know about the lives of gays and lesbians, and the more direct experience people have with gay and lesbian people, the less fearful there will be. Many of them will experience the sam…
