Vaccine Mandates are Constitutional; Religious Exemptions are Unnecessary and Harmful

By Andrew L. Seidel

…o this mandate should be medical—those people who are, for instance, immuno-compromised. Herd immunity protects these vulnerable people. Herd immunity for Covid-19 is far away because a lethal virus was politicized by Christian Nationalists.

By Lauri Lebo

…ll as the movie by the same name, which is about Chris McCandless, a young free-spirit who spent time in Slab City. McCandless eventually starved to death in an abandoned bus in Alaska. Knight knew McCandless and he portrays himself in the movie. Today, he is 79, still living on the outskirts of Slab City, hosting tours and providing his testimony for anyone who cares to listen. I think the fact that his message sounds so refreshing illustrates ho…

I Believe You’re Wrong: The Trouble with Tolerance

By Charles Randall Paul and John W. Morehead

…understood that we can only live together in respectful disagreement if we feel free to advocate and defend our beliefs through sincere persuasion. So what would Williams do about the current conflict over building a Muslim community center and mosque near the World Trade Center? More than likely he would welcome the arrival of yet another venue where, after listening carefully to his opponents, he would be afforded the opportunity to persuasively…

The Penis+Vagina Monologues

By Sarah Posner

…l consequences. In that sense, sure, SB 1062 wasn’t anti-gay, it was double-anti-gay because its sponsors clearly thought the state’s already discriminatory laws were insufficient to protect against the stampede of gay people demanding that business owners engage in the ordinary course of commercial activity with them. Hemingway’s screed is revealing not just of how she is rending her proverbial garments over the future of the nation (“how long ca…

Khalifah: We Really Do Have Control Over Our Own Destiny

By Amina Wadud

…our capacity, beyond our input or beyond our control. I believe we live this life according to our own will and trust in the Lord. I just don’t get the idea that unless I get a specific, personal, one-on-one message, then I cannot do the best I can with what God has given me. But then, as all the great Muslim thinkers conclude at the end of their writings: Allah knows best….

By Frederick Clarkson

…ray, it’s now threatened by corporate interests that want to dig a massive open-pit mine for copper ore. Wendsler Nosie says that in this, and matters affecting other tribes, “Native American religion has been excluded from the areas of concern and value.” The Poor People’s Campaign agrees, and says that, in addition to being an historic injustice and an example of political corruption, it’s actually a major religious freedom issue. ‘My people wer…

The Cynical Use of “Freedom of Religion”

By Kate Childs Graham

…he Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church came to be one of religious freedom’s greatest allies. But the clock seems to be ticking backwards. The Catholic Church and LGBTQ Rights On the occasion of this anniversary, France—which is, at present, heading up the European Union—and the rest of the EU, is introducing a UN declaration condemning discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Currently, over 80 co…
