By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ersecution, 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 grace whi…

Is it a Hoax?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ttitude change and care through drama and sports activities. The discovery comes after a torso of a man was discovered earlier in the week—missing its genitals. Pasikali went missing after Uganda’s Martyrs Day early last month. According to AllAfrica.com, the day is celebrated “annually on June 3 in memory of 30 martyrs who died for their faith on the orders of Ssekabaka Mwanga 11 after they refused to denounce the Christian faith.” At a gathering…

How Should Mormons Respond to Leader’s Anti-Gay Comments?

By Joanna Brooks

…from which God will free you if you work hard enough. While that may be a comforting message to people who don’t like their orientation, and while it may give strength to the few who’ve “recovered” (whatever that means) from being gay, I personally have seen and known too many young people who kill themselves trying to get rid of the “addiction” or overcome the “temptation” to make the message palatable to me. And I’ve see too many families upset…

LDS Apostle Says Same-Sex Attraction Can be Overcome

By Joanna Brooks

…ies responded almost immediately to the Sunday morning message. Said Laura Compton of Mormonsformarriage.com, “So many Mormons have worked hard to increase understanding of what homosexuality is and what it means to be faithful. Now we have this message coming from the pulpit in General Conference by the president of the Quorum of the Twelve. It seems like hitting a brick wall. Hopefully, this won’t make people stop and say, ‘It wasn’t worth it.’”…

Dying in Dirty Places: How to Honor the Dead in the Era of Ecocide

By Ryann Croken

…of a “homeless ghost” is so disturbing). An ancient, unambiguous morality compels us to lay our loved ones to rest in proper, dignified fashion. Even the most pagan-phobic, sky-god-reviling atheist out there would think it unnatural to toss his or her dead mother’s cadaver into a dumpster. The fact is, curious as it may seem, human beings have always treated the dead with a greater degree of respect than the living. And so, again, I wonder, and I…

Will God-Gaming Alter the Bible?

By Rachel Wagner

…ure based on both strategy and luck. However, the promise of an online RPG complicates this comparison, as Civilization allows players to stay at something of a remove from the action, controlling resources and making decisions but not necessarily being directly drawn into the game as a character. The same is true of The Sims. The Bible Online, by contrast, presumably would allow you to play both with a god-like perspective and as biblical patriar…

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

By Ben Brazil

…t’s at this point that the concept of authenticity turns back on itself, becoming increasingly problematic. In part because the industrializing West has become increasingly “inauthentic,” Latin America, Africa, and (especially) Asia have been deemed “authentic.” Dean MacCannell noticed just this projected sort of authenticity in his 1976 The Tourist: A New Theory of the Leisure Class. But even before the Beatles went to India, elite Westerners had…

Rapture Coming, Mark Your Calendars

By Lauri Lebo

…ay 21 is not the actual end of the world, according to Camping’s WeCanKnow.com. Rather, that’s merely the day of the Tribulation and Christ’s return. The big day is Oct. 21, 2011. That’s the day “when He will destroy the world and all that is therein.” This is not the first time Camping has predicted Judgment Day: On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping’s believers gathered inside Alameda’s Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an…

Anti-Gay Groups Running Out of Search Engines

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…f Google wants to be truly fair to its employees, it should consider extra compensation to married heterosexuals who are bitten every April 15 by the marriage-penalty tax,” spokesman Gary Schneeberger told FoxNews.com. “How is offering more money to only one group to offset a perceived inequity not a form of discrimination against those groups not fortunate enough to receive such bonuses?” Fox legal analyst Lisa Wiehl said the law could be challen…

Sarah Palin: Bus Tour of Destruction

By Anthea Butler

…al about what he knows can only make Palin nervous. The tit-for-tat snarky comments between Palin and Johnston are both funny and sad, and the tantalizing “there are some things that I know (about Sarah) that are HUGE” is a scimitar hanging over Palin’s carefully coiffed hair. His recent comment that Palin called her down syndrome baby “retarded” is either a big FAIL on his part, or an indictment of her mothering skills. No matter what he says for…
