…ll make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The issue of race took much longer to resolve constitutionally. Once the constitutional convention reached a stalemate on the question of the slave trade they agreed to let it remain in plac…

Khalifah: We Really Do Have Control Over Our Own Destiny

…igious thinkers). I’m not trying to solve this age old problem how much is free will and how much is predestination, but I wish to make a comment. I cannot see complacency if it leaves one unable to say, I will try to do this or that, at the very least. Most Muslims follow the Qur’anic advice to say after ward such plans, “in sha’ Allah” if God wills. The Prophet has a nice way of reminding us of what I call the simultaneity of pre-determination a…

Mike Johnson’s Porn-Monitoring isn’t Just ‘Creepy’ — it’s a Window to the Fascist Desire Driving the White Evangelical Will to Power

By Jessica Johnson

…icking on the varied visages and scenarios lead to words of encouragement, free downloads of books like Your Brain on Porn and More Than Single, and free training sessions. Though their looks differ, each man appears confident and contemplative, with a sense of purpose. Many stare straight into the camera or are captured in chiseled or bearded profile.

By Thomas Fabisiak

…riting the Bible to free it from liberal bias. The new translation will be free of “emasculated” and “dumbed-down” language as well as “liberal wordiness.” So-called “later-inserted liberal passages” will be deleted entirely. All of these changes will be made by amending the King James Version of the Bible through an online wiki format. While the Conservative Bible Project (CBP) has so far been regarded largely as a joke, it does raise some intere…

By Eric C. Miller

…to be a free and open space where ideas may be exchanged and contested in free and open fashion. He may also be correct that proponents of same-sex marriage should meditate on their individual and collective responses to those opposed. But he is wrong to suggest that Ryan T. Anderson has been “shunned.” Anderson has been able to study at some of the nation’s top universities. He holds a position at a prominent conservative think tank. He is a reg…
