In Marriage Decision, An Ode to Love and Four Provocations

By Sarah Posner

…ion or secular belief, may engage those who disagree with their view in an open and searching debate. The Constitution, however, does not permit the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the same terms as accorded to couples of the opposite sex. The conservatives, though, refuse to acknowledge that the Constitution can both guarantee the Free Exercise rights of opponents of same-sex marriage and the Equal Protection rights of same-sex cou…

Racist Hanukkah

By Anthea Butler

…lly turned a religious holiday into a mob scene. Right wing MKs Michael Ben-Ari and Arieh Eldad held a candle-lighting ceremony to demand the exportation of all African immigrants from Israel. One might think that this is an aberration, but it is not. This was the second annual rally held around Hanukkah. While Jewish children played with dreidels and ate fried foods to celebrate the holiday, stories emerged about Ethiopian Jewish women being give…

Excommunicated For ‘Grave Scandal’ of Ordaining Women

By Roy Bourgeois

…n. On November 16, 1989, six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her 15-year-old daughter were massacred by the Salvadoran military. When U.S. congressional leaders announced that those responsible for the slayings had been trained at the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA) at Fort Benning, Georgia, I and a small group of friends returned to Georgia to investigate the SOA. In 1990, the SOA Watch was born. When the United Nations reported t…

Why Even Progressive Christianity Must Own Its Complicity in Anti-LGBT Violence

By Layton E. Williams

…roups sought to carefully distance themselves from any reputation for faith-based anti-LGBT sentiment, others were quick to point out their hypocrisy. In a piece directly responding to Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore, ThinkProgress LGBT Editor Zack Ford explained why conservative Christians’ sympathies toward LGBT people ring hollow in the absence of genuine affirmation. Ford writes, “…as terrified as we might be from the destruction wrought…

Church-State Separation Activists Urge Questioning of Kagan

By Sarah Posner

…t make it into the bill. The Judiciary Committee typically doesn’t probing questions on church-state separation issues, as they (like Kagan in her advice to Gore’s staff) think of these issues as too hot to handle politically. The Democrats, obviously, are the ones who have to take the lead on that — and they’re going to be loathe to embarrass the president’s nominee. Meanwhile, the Republicans are calling well-known opponents of church-state sepa…

Normalization is Control: Telling Stories to Survive

By Mariam Durrani

…ed immigrants, banning Muslims or putting us on a registry, increasing stop-and-frisk programs across the country, and others, aren’t being highlighted as wrong, as unconstitutional, as racist. Instead, we hear the normalization of these racist policies. Some have described this as a form of obedience testing, to see just how far he can go before more people protest. I’m not sure what’s going to happen, but I wonder if we need to adopt Hoodfar’s s…

Filling the Awkward Silence: A Response to Laura Levitt on the Passing of Jacob Neusner

By David R. Blumenthal

…-term project with which he or she wrestles. Not just a thesis and a follow-up book, but a long-term driving interest. For Jack, it was Judaism in late antiquity. For me, it was God in all the variations and depths of Jewish tradition. (In Jack’s view, I think God was a data point, not the center of Jewish consciousness). And, a scholar must also have a regular schedule for writing. With Jack, it was three hours every morning. Jack was right on bo…

It’s the Water! And Other Lowlights from Presidential Science Debate

By Michael Schulson

…. If you think of politics as the struggle for slices of the giant Resource-and-Value Pie, then a scientific breakthrough can seem like one of the few ways to suddenly, dramatically make the pie much bigger. As Clinton put it: “Science will ensure that our country continues to progress, and will help our government use its resources to provide the best possible life for all Americans.” 8. This all felt horribly irrelevant. Call it moral bandwidth:…

The End of Carson?

By Sarah Posner

…d-fearing, America-loving success story with a calm and soothing demeanor. Now he’s fighting with the press, claiming that he did try to stab a friend (or relative) and confirming doubts about his claimed interactions with a high-ranking military officer and the nation’s most prestigious military academy. That would undermine any presidential candidate’s standing, but especially the standing of one who has nothing to go on but his autobiography….

‘Religious Freedom’ for Atheists

By Austin Dacey

…sm: a note entitled “the Prophet Muhammad was attracted to his own daughter-in-law”; a comic suggesting the Prophet slept with his wife’s maid; and a status update reading, “If you believe in god, then please show him to me.” Prosecutors have charged Aan under the Electronic Information and Transaction Law, which prohibits inciting hatred or enmity of a religious group, and under the country’s blasphemy provision, Article 156a, which criminalizes…
