The Tennessee State Baptist Convention voted down the change in an expression of sentiment for maintaining a historic tie with a regional identity that was and is deeply personal to many. “I think the Southern Baptist Convention name is a good brand,” one Tennessee Baptist said. “I don’t reject a new name. I just don’t have any…

…abortions safely and well. As Joffe points out, soon after the transvaginal-as-rape meme took flight, “Will abortion clinic staff who perform the ultrasound be seen as ‘rapists,’ as the provider I mentioned earlier worried? This is a possibility not lost on the anti-abortion website LifeNews, which recently ran the headline, ‘If Ultrasound is Rape, Arrest Planned Parenthood Staffers.’” Trudeau doesn’t get this.

Ridiculing Popular “End Times” Theology Kirk Cameron, with his starring role in the post-rapture Left Behind m…

Engle Supports “Principled Stand” of Ugandan Anti-Gay Bill Promoters

By Sarah Posner

…n that does not want it. Reiterating his U.N.-brought-the-homosexual-agenda-to-Uganda theme, Engle added: [B]ecause UNICEF and UN were promoting their agenda in the place and there were cases taking place but there was no law, there was no laws, so there could be no restraint and no punishment for that. Because of that, as I understood it, was one of the reasons they wanted to bring forth this — a bill so that they could bring an answer to that ki…

News Flash from World Net Daily: Easter is Pagan Holiday

By Lauri Lebo

…from the Culture Wars. Joe Kovacs, the executive director of the Christian news website World Net Daily, has penned a column arguing that Easter has roots in paganism. So, in addition to revealing that he is clueless about his own religious holidays (he’s only figuring this out now?), he also displays a stunning lack of consistency: The very first commandment of the Big Ten is perhaps one of the most overlooked in everyday life. In just eight word…

…t Reporting, and how Obsession, which Clarion inserted into 28 million home-delivered newspapers shortly before the 2008 election, deeply troubled other Jews. I reported: Now, the content of “Obsession” and its ties to Aish are leading some rabbis to strongly criticize the production — and Aish HaTorah itself —for, as they view it, using a broad brush-stroke to smear the entire Muslim community. Some fear the central role of Aish HaTorah officials…

Beinart’s Indictment And The Evangelical Right

By Sarah Posner

…ho supported the Iraq war may very well rock the Jewish world with his well-argued, fact-laden essay laying out how the American Jewish establishment has been complicit in creating an Israel that is an anti-democratic, racist state — and that in the process, has contributed to the decline and impending death of liberal Zionism. That the “establishment” (Beinart’s word choice, I suppose, to avoid the dreaded “Israel lobby” usage) is complicit in th…

By The Editors

…House taken it over? And what of President Obama’s vaunted Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships? In the latest installment of RD’s collaboration with bloggingheads.tv, associate editor Sarah Posner talks religion and politics with Get Religion’s Mollie Ziegler Hemingway.

Not All Christians are Terrorists

By Reuven Firestone

…l Muslims are terrorists, but why are all terrorists Muslim?” Last week, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Columbia, walked into a study session at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. After sitting for an hour he shot nearly everybody at the meeting. That was an act of terror. He was not a Muslim. As far as we know he was acting alone, like the Tsarnaev brothers, though both were undoubtedly influenced by organiz…
