God Will Not Make You Straight: An Interview with GCN’s Justin Lee

…. I had known Alan Chambers from many years ago. We had participated in an online discussion group called Bridges Across the Divide. A year or two ago, I told Alan that I was interested in going to an Exodus conference because I had been speaking out against Exodus and ex-gay ministries for many years, but it had been ten years since I had attended and Exodus group. I didn’t want to criticize them for things they weren’t doing anymore. I wanted to…

Virgins and Vampire Worship: The Religion of Twilight 

…They “Twi-bond,” supporting one another in times of need (TwilightMoms, an online group of moms who read Twilight, ritually send one another cards and gifts when others in their lives forget to), and they study “Cullenism,” the value system of the Cullens, Edward’s vampire family. Though the Twi-hard fan movement might not seem worthy of a book-length study, it is part of a widespread American trend away from organized religion and toward the sacr…

New Reports Reveal Global Persecution of Nonbelievers

…horities but also by private corporations. During the Innocence riots, for instance, Google restricted YouTube access to the video in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Libya, and Egypt despite the fact that its content does not violate YouTube’s hate speech policy, which recognizes hate speech against individuals but not the (highly problematic) category of hate speech against groups. “We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also…

Rage or Courage?: YouTube Terrorism Take Two

…fundamental questions about the control that Internet companies have over online expression. Should companies themselves decide what standards govern what is seen on the Internet? How consistently should these policies be applied? Under YouTube’s terms of service, hate speech must be directed against individuals, not groups. Because the video mocks Islam but not Muslim people, it has been allowed to stay on the site in most of the world: “This vi…

Atheist Schism?

…lar social justice group. But it was McCreight’s personal frustration with online harassment that led her to write a blog post demanding a ‘third wave’ of atheism. We throw up billboards claiming we’re Good Without God, but how are we proving that as a movement? Litter clean-ups and blood drives can only say so much when you’re simultaneously threatening your fellow activists with rape and death. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One comme…

Where Are the Pro-Life Reactions to the Romney/Stericycle Story?

…? Its president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, wrote a column for National Review Online yesterday titled “Pro-Lifers Must Unite Behind Romney.” (The discussion in the comments thread did make its way around to the Stericycle story, with folks chiming in both to support and criticize Romney.) Americans United for Life? Again, as of 4 p.m. central, their online media center made no mention of it. LifeSiteNews, which previously reported on a Romney fundrai…

Can Faith-Based Organizing for Gun Control Work?

…remists in its midst, as the anti-choice movement has. Such violence would instantly destroy a gun control movement’s credibility because of the glaring hypocrisy of someone trying to stop violence with violence (even thought that same glaring hypocrisy hasn’t undermined the anti-choice movement’s successes). What’s more, if someone were to physically threaten a gun show or gun shop, they’d probably be shot—something that would be seen as bolsteri…

…rney will be on hand to help. For those who live further away, there is an online guide to having one’s name removed from the record of the Mormon Church. Africa: Gay Ugandans Regret Fleeing to Kenya; Christian UN Refugee Staff Refuse to Assist The BBC’s Emmanual Igunza wrote this week about gay Ugandans who regret having fled to Kenya, where he reports many are facing harassment and attacks by both vigilantes and police.

Thoreau’s Ferocious Critique of Philanthropy Does Not Make Him “Selfish”

…would be joining the Witness Protection Program after her piece was posted online. But the truth is, it’s so easy to get the man wrong. I am sympathetic to the instinct that animates Schulz, the suspicion that Americans love Thoreau mostly because selfish individualism is our national religion and he is one of its loudest—or at least most famous—defenders. But Schulz’s reading of the man’s writing is facile. Where Thoreau writes—responding to the…

Robot Kills a Worker in Germany… Who’s to Blame?

…culation that the robot is, or should be, to blame has already run rampant online. This isn’t just idle speculation on Twitter. It’s a reflection of much deeper fears about the world to come. It was the cyborg! If you’ve ever kicked a TV or mumbled threats at your computer, you’re familiar with how easy it is to assign human agency to unconscious machines. We seem especially prone to anthropomorphizing them when they frustrate us. My toaster is in…
