Presidential Debate: We Are All Socialists Now

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ition of the current housing market, such that the federal government will buy up an enormous number of imminent foreclosures (how?), mandate a new evaluation of the real value of these homes (how?), then enable homeowners to re-negotiate their current mortgages and to stay in their homes (huh?). The failure of “Fannie and Freddie,” McCain insisted, was “the match that lit this forest fire.” And apparently he believes that you can dig the necessar…

The Biblical Money Code!

By Gordon Haber

…kes a lot of his one big win, when, late last year, he predicted that Best Buy would jump from $11 a share to $40. Currently Best Buy is trading at around $34—not quite Hyman’s prediction, but still an impressive jump. Beyond that it’s difficult to say, though Hyman seems to have had a lot of success as an investment advisor. He claims to have more than 57,000 subscribers to his “Ultimate Wealth Report” (that’s around $2.68m) and he’s been peddlin…

Blue Jean Revolution

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…den and harshly punished in Moscow, people would approach her and offer to buy the jeans right off her legs. But why? Partly because they were forbidden and impossible to get. If you tell a human being not to eat of the fruit of a tree, you shouldn’t be surprised when they do eat. Every aspiring utopian should remember that sad story. But why were blue jeans forbidden? Because they were seen as a symbol of global capitalism. I had to ponder that o…

New Book: God Favors Supply-Side Economics

By Gordon Haber

…r in America usually have air conditioning, a car, a television, and a telephone.” These (alleged) facts must be a great comfort to the Americans struggling with joblessness and poverty. There is some decent advice about budgeting in Godonomics, but it’s undermined by all the howlers. Hovind believes, for example, that the Federal Reserve is a “privately owned bank,” that the term “social justice” has been hijacked by secret “Marxists” like Jim Wa…

Bobby Jindal Hypes His Christian Cred at Liberty U.

By Murali Balaji

…And it’s quite routine for some to hype their credentials in order to get buy-in from their audience. Just think of rappers (many of whom come from middle-class backgrounds) exaggerating their street cred in order to win over suburban kids who buy their music. But there’s another take that resonates deeply with Hindu-Americans like me: Jindal’s conversion as an attempt to escape bullying and the constant scrutiny of what it’s like to be an Other…

Handwritten Bible: The Latest Gimmick Scripture?

By Katie Meier

…essibility to the Bible by the number of hands that get excited, grab, and buy gimmick scripture, she is hitting the nail on the head. If Girkins is suggesting that by handwriting America’s NIV it will somehow increase the accessibility of the content, she’s kidding us all, In full disclosure, I would know. I have authored gimmick scripture. I worked on the Revolve Bible, a Jesus-meets-Seventeen Magazine version of the New Testament. Sales of this…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…rs of currently identified white Christian nationalists, shocking as those numbers might be. Christian nationalism and settled ideas about white freedom have always danced together, of course. The formula “free, white, and 21” never needed the word “Christian”—it was implicit among those who used it. And here’s the point: deeply rooted notions about white freedom harden the fist of Christian nationalism by adding an extra degree of impunity, sugge…

Why Do Mormons Side with People Who Don’t Like Mormons?

By Joanna Brooks

…to fight intolerance against immigrants and Muslims. But too many Mormons buy into a naive notion of Mormon exceptionalism: the logic that LDS people, by virtue of our clean-living and shiny goodness, can ultimately win anyone over, if they get to know us well enough. I don’t buy it. We shouldn’t be surprised that people and organizations that countenance prejudicial behavior of other varieties—the Boy Scouts, for example, have a terrible record…

Ask a Muslim: What of Neanderthals and Aliens?

By Haroon Moghul

…ut. But why would they know to be concerned? If you said to me, “I’m gonna buy a house,” and the first thing out of my mouth is, “Will you buy a house with a leaky roof, and a flooded basement,” a reasonable assumption would be that you’d previously bought a house you shouldn’t have. God is in the middle of an important announcement, the creation of the very species for which the Muslim scripture is intended as moral guidance, and the angels all b…

The Religious Roots of American Environmentalism

By Lauren Sutton

…the Keystone controversy, for example—instead of campaigning for people to buy better light bulbs. Might we be moving back to a more community-focused brand of environmentalism? I don’t know if we are or not. That’s a good question. Some sort of governmental or international effort has always been a part of the equation. In that sense it’s not really a change. But even the light bulb movement had a government law component, and now [in many places…
