Dieting, Sex, Jesus: The Body as Moral Battleground

By Lynne Gerber

…s—and why do people use languages of virtue and vice, sin and salvation—to talk about them? And how do fat people navigate the highly moralized webs within which they live their lives? I wanted to contribute to a critical analysis of fatness in American culture. But I didn’t want to focus just on fatness. I was very aware of how difficult it is for most people to develop and maintain a critical perspective on this issue, especially when words like…

Did You Read About Conservative Judaism’s Anti-Black Antisemitic Smearing of Hebrew Israelites? Neither Did I

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…es are based largely on cultural preferences, let us dispense with all the talk about what Hebrew Israelites believe (orthodoxy) and focus on what they do (orthopraxy). So, what exactly is this mainstream talk about if it’s not about race? As the authors (one of whom self-identifies as a bi-racial Ashkenazi Jew) assert, their attempts at addressing diversity are complicated by the presence of Hebrew Israelites. Because ultimately this is a questio…

Bachmann’s Law School Mentor Asserts Biblical Roots of American Political System

By Julie Ingersoll

…hat is between him and God,” he said. But what was most interesting in his talk was the philosophical framing that precedes it— here he lays out his view of biblical authority rooted in limited jurisdiction (taken, by the way, from Rushdoony): “(There are) two kingdoms… each has different responsibilities. The church’s responsibility is to teach biblical principles of government and to drive sinners to the cross by convicting them of their sins an…

Obama To Skip Golden Temple: Part of A Larger Problem With Religion

By Hussein Rashid

…Adivsory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships going to do? Talk about the important role of religion as long as it is only Christianity? President Obama needed to lead at this moment. He needed to become Professor Obama. He needed to do what Colin Powell did for him. He needed to say that Sikhs and Muslims have different religions. There is nothing wrong with being either and there is nothing wrong in showing respect in a house of…

Putting the “Protest” Back in Protestant: Reclaiming the Spirit of Resistance

By Peter Laarman

…Renewal are now completely enmeshed in the Washington spin machine, taking talking points from the Obama White House and steering a careful middle course: don’t bash gays, but don’t give them equal rights; don’t cut off all abortion services, but talk instead about abortion reduction; deplore predatory lending, but don’t call for any real controls on usury and other bank chicanery. Sojourners is but one of a proliferating number of “common ground”…

Immigrant-Bashing, Indifference, and the Evangelical Vote

By Sarah Posner

…monstration of his philosophy in action moments later as he walked over to talk with Jose Flores, an undocumented immigrant. Flores drove to Plainfield from Waukesha, Wisconsin with his young son and daughter and a small group of activists to ask Walker, their governor, why he opposed President Obama’s efforts to protect them from deportation via executive action. It was a tense scene. Tears ran down thirteen-year old Leslie Flores’ face as she to…

Pope Mum on LGBTs in Uganda; Church Defends Anti-Marriage-Equality Efforts in Australia; Cyprus Passes Civil Partnerships; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ue for his visit to Kenya, though New Ways Ministry notes that Francis did talk generally about individual freedom and “working to shape a society which is ever more just, inclusive and respectful of human dignity.” Uganda’s ethics minister had told the Associated Press, “I am praying that he doesn’t talk about this. Because it will open a Pandora’s box.” While some activists had hoped Francis would “tell fellow believers that we are human beings…

Pornography’s Dirty Little Secret: What We Say vs. What We Do

By Shira Tarrant

…at teens have a lot of questions abut pornography, and they really want to talk about the issues—even if some of the teens are initially shy about it. It doesn’t help that pornography has been such a taboo topic in the church, he adds. Personally, Pastor Beyenberg hopes the frank conversations will lead to abstinence from pornography. But the fact is, he notes, the average teen is already watching it. Without a chance to talk openly about pornogra…

Christian Punk Meets American Pop; Evangelicals in the ’Burbs

By Brittany Shoot

…ure induces individuals to behave in a particular way. I start the book by talking about the “moral panic” among conservatives when Elvis became famous in the mid-1950s. Their fear and condemnations helped make Elvis more interesting. This tendency goes back farther than Elvis, too. In the 19th century, Protestant ministers—as well as moralists like Anthony Comstock—worried that believers’ choices in reading material might tempt them into moral fa…

God’s Obituary: A Humanist Response to Mass Murder

By Anthony B. Pinn

…ary. By this I mean that such extreme human tragedy makes it impossible to talk about God in any useful way. Don’t read this statement as a selfish demand for comfort, for an easy life. No, it’s recognition that nothing explains away the destruction of life’s integrity; but instead it highlights the fact that we labor in this world without cosmic aid that can protect us from us. Appeals to free will (as my comments are bound to generate) might not…
