God Hates Nags: Why in God’s Name is Westboro Protesting Kim Davis?

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…stboro Baptists, that is, who have launched perhaps the strangest homophobe-on-homophobe attack imaginable. Like many of her critics, Westboro Baptists point to Davis’ four marriages as evidence of hypocrisy that undermines her claim to both strongly held religious belief and the moral authority to deny others marriage licenses. They also frame their criticism in a larger story about America’s declension into a full-blown Sodom and Gomorrah (a cla…

The Prophet Amos on Unemployment and Our Leadership

By Peter Laarman

…and a sweeping financial regulatory bill.” So who do you suppose is buying high-priced tickets to these events? Well, you could get an idea about that from a profile in today’s Times on the rise and rise of corporate fixer Tony Podesta (“The Proud Lobbyist” reads the Times headline). Tony boasts that he lobbied on 25 different issues related to Wall Street regulation for major players like Bank of America. And yes, this proud lobbyist is indeed th…

The Religion of Self Improvement Grinds On Despite Hard Times for Grads

By Peter Laarman

…it’s hard to explain why they would by buying into (or borrowing into) the high-priced college sweepstakes to begin with. Unfortunately, even as cries of “Go to college!” grow louder, the premium received for taking that costly plunge grows ever smaller. Higher Ed’s dirty little secret is that real earnings for U.S. college graduates have declined since 2000 (and were already declining before the onset of the Great Recession), even as the number o…

Making Sex Costly… In More Ways Than One

By Daniel Schultz

…ules for contraception. As usual, I’m forced to think that perhaps the anti-choice movement actually prefers a high unwanted pregnancy rate, and therefore a high abortion rate, since they work so hard to preserve it. I could understand a principled argument from the bishops: if you think the use of contraception is a form of murder, well, there’s not much gray area there. But when they make arguments like this, it just undermines the moral case th…

Vatican Equates Women’s Ordination with Priest Pedophilia?

By Mary E. Hunt

…ally excommunicate themselves. It all sounds rather contorted. In this soon-to-be-published document, the ordination of women is said to be spelled out as one of those dicey matters which is not only a violation of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but so serious as to warrant the attention of Rome. Perhaps they reason that the women’s ordination cases will keep them so busy that the pedophilia crimes will go away. Maybe they think people will be so s…

Why Build a Mormon Complex in Philly?

By David Krueger

…x,” which includes a meetinghouse (used for weekly worship), a residential high-rise building, and commercial spaces. In short, it’s carving out a distinctly Mormon enclave. The temple has received largely positive media coverage and one architecture critic celebrated it as “the most radical work of architecture built in Philadelphia in a half-century.” Constructed in an area populated by some of the city’s most prominent cultural institutions, in…

The Week in Religion, Poetically:

By Michael J. Altman

…New York based atheist group. Got a problem? No time for church? Try drive-thru prayer . A 24-foot cross in Vermont pits local land-use law against claims of First Amendment Rights. And a bomb threat on Sunday at the shrine in Lourdes, France evacuated some 30,000 pilgrims just before the mid-day mass. Update from last week: The strippers and the churchgoers have reconciled . Good for them. After one season in the NFL, pro-football player Glen Co…

Biden’s Embrace of ‘Victory Culture’ is a Victory for Toxic White Christianity

By Peter Laarman

…lso arming Zelensky and Netanyahu to the teeth and backing their wars with high-tech tactical support. If there weren’t actual threats to U.S. security Biden would have to invent them. Biden and his team see this pugilistic posture as his best path to reelection, given how the voters refuse to give him much credit for a rebounding job-rich economy. Politicians do what politicians do. No one should be surprised that Biden would even stoop to discou…

Tea Party Bullies on Homosexuality: “No Punishment Too Severe?”

By Julie Ingersoll

…ng homosexuals is evidence of how unhealthy it is to be one. “Homosexual/bi-sexual individuals are seven times to contemplate or commit suicide,” he said, and then in a taunting tone, added “Oooh, that doesn’t sound very healthy.” All without a shred of empathy or recognition that the suicides are a result of how people like him treat gays and lesbians. I’ve written about the Reconstructionist influence on Barton’s views on race and slavery and hi…

Buddha as Scientist, Entrepreneur & Self-Improvement Guru

By Michael Schulson

…” In other words, the devotees of some of the most distracting, mindfulness-destroying, desire-driven innovations in the history of our culture were now plotting to disrupt Buddhism. Any commentary, honestly, seemed obsolete. As a service to readers, though, I decided to withhold judgment and plunge into the most recent Buddhist Geeks annual conference, which was held in Boulder, Colorado last month—and, until last Sunday, stored in a virtual foru…
