US Offers Help For Investigation of Bangladesh Killings

By Peter Montgomery

…lientele of practicing haredi men, whom he is convinced are closeted homosexuals. “I bet they have a wife and 10 kids waiting at home,” he says. “But the fact that they come here—it’s interesting, that they feel comfortable here.” A short time later, a swarthy bearded man wearing a beanie and a long black beard walks into the bar. (Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.) Al Bel rises to shout, “The rabbi is here!” The man, who asks not to be nam…

Michael Vick Walks on Water: Updated

By Nicole Greenfield

…in rise above to heal his family, his community, his legacy.” The ten-part BET documentary, executive-produced by Vick himself, relates the star’s infamous story through a series of testimonies, events (including a heartfelt speech Vick gave as part of his involvement with the Humane Society’s End Dogfighting campaign), and interviews with family and acquaintances. A contrived attempt at redeeming himself in the public eye, The Michael Vick Projec…

The Economy is Sacred, Stupid

By Gary Laderman

…America. A few questions may help make the case about the intimate, if unexpressed, links between money and religion: Is the pursuit of wealth an ultimate value? Is self-worth tied to the accumulation of material goods? How do moral virtues connect to marketplace success? Is money a means to transcend everyday suffering and despair? Would you die to save capitalism? The society we live in, and indeed the political landscape for the foreseeable fu…

Turn On The News: The Times Has to Make a Choice: It Can’t Laugh at Satanic Claims and Take the Christian Right at Face Value

By Daniel Schultz

…US context, its shape and content would have been much different. You can bet, for example, that von Hauswolff’s claim that “Catholic integralism won over art, but not over love” would have been “balanced” with a proponent of integralism explaining why Catholicism is a more authentic expression of the French identity than the music of an agnostic Swede. But more importantly, omissions like this demonstrate just how flawed the Times’ typical cover…

Talking About Religion Will Not Help Romney

By Joanna Brooks

…ormonism again? Romney tried, gamely, over the weekend, using his mission experience in working-class neighborhoods of Paris as a point of experiential empathy with Americans on the down and out. Not the greatest of comparisons, perhaps, but a step in the right direction, say some. Still, just raising the question of religion means that someone (this time, political consultant Garry South over at the Politico Arena) is going to start bloviating a…

Maybe Trump Should Pray About His Problems With Religious Voters?

By Daniel Schultz

…sh population and an uncertain outcome. There’s no way Trump is winning in New York or New Jersey, and if he doesn’t take the Jewish vote in Florida, his only other option is to peel off enough Hispanics to build a winning coalition with Florida’s Old South types and are you even listening to how silly this is? It’s not happening. America’s Problem Child isn’t winning Jews, he’s doing his level best to piss off every Hispanic in the Sunshine State…

Imus is Back… Of Course

By Tamura Lomax

…nnial closeting of race and sex. Let’s all say this together: RACISM AND SEXISM EXIST AND ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE FABRIC WHICH MAKES UP OUR COUNTRY. NOT ONLY THIS, WE AS INDIVIDUALS IN SOME WAYS PARTICIPATE IN ITS CONTINUANCE. Whewww!!! That wasn’t easy. But hey, admittance is the first step to recovery. So, we are on our way. The next step is (no, not calling up the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. I really would like to know who keeps…

Can a Pig Heart be Kosher?

By Ari Stillman

…ly more far-fetched than a big invisible man in the sky? But then reality kicks in. Proto-religion didn’t account for everything. That’s when scholars and theologians alike must seek the spirit of their texts to pronounce new judgments. If the day comes when I need an organ and getting one from a pig is my best bet, I’ll gladly take it. But I also like bacon, so take that as you will….

Some Mormons See a Message in the Angel Moroni’s Fallen Trumpet

By Christopher James Blythe

…g’s wellbeing. Knowing the history of the temple and its iconic angel will better explain why the damaged statue might engender a sense of providence. The Salt Lake Temple is one of more than 150 temples, but it’s where Church leaders—apostles and prophets—meet weekly and hold prayer. Brigham Young had seen the building in a vision shortly after the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. He believed this temple would fulfill a verse in Isaiah t…
