A King for Jesus: What the Religious Right Sees in Trump

By Roger O. Friedland

…our political submissiveness, not because of the product cycle. China and Mexico have taken us to the cleaners. Trump is no market liberal: The free market is anything but. So he would naturally use the state’s power to countermand the property rights of corporations who export their jobs and plants abroad. He attributes his own market failures to his lack of power. He has only run one public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in Atlantic C…

LDS Church, US Government Swap Positions on Polygamy

By Holly Welker

…en he joined the Mormon church and moved to North America, died in Sonora, Mexico in 1899, having moved there so he could practice polygamy unmolested by the US government. I always knew that polygamy was part of my legacy as a Latter-day Saint, even if I never knew exactly what to think of it. Currently the most notorious aspect of that legacy is the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as the FLDS, the sect…

High School Senior Leads Effort to Repeal Louisiana Anti-Evolution Law

By Lauri Lebo

…have never been passed in the first place, one based on intelligent design-promoter Discovery Institute’s sample “Academic Freedom” bills, which paves the way for sneaking creationism into science class. While lawmakers have denied the law has anything to do with inserting creationism into science class, I’ve written about how members of Louisiana school boards interpret the law here. Admittedly, Kopplin and other supporters of the Constitution in…

Debating God: Atheist and Evangelical Face Off at Notre Dame

By Nathan Schneider

…if understated. (Compare this, for instance, with a recent Craig debate in Mexico, where the podium was in the middle of a boxing ring.) The debaters sat onstage at a table with the moderator between them—Michael Rea, who heads Notre Dame’s prestigious Center for the Philosophy of Religion. They each gave their remarks by rising, one at a time, to separate podiums on either side of the table. William Lane Craig had on his signature attire: a blue…

Gulf Oil Spill May be “Act of God”

By Johnny P. Flynn

…undreds of thousands to be sacrificed for that lifestyle. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Persian Gulf, from oilfield roughnecks to oil-soaked wildlife, each time we fill up our gas tanks, each of us shares responsibility for endangering every living and breathing organism on the earth. All of America will cry for British Petroleum to pay for the cleanup, but already gas at the pump has jumped ten percent across the country. We fool ourselves that…

Who is God? Can You Trust Him?

By Daniel Schultz

…ion. Not to mention Jesus? Hey, I’m just one of those heathens who thinks God is still speaking. But from where I sit, trust in God makes a lot more sense based on how he (or she) continues to free people in the here and now. Take, for example, the current mess in the Gulf of Mexico. Praying for God’s miraculous intervention is one thing. Understanding God as freeing people from pollution by the non-supernatural means of engineering is another. Ev…

National Day of Prayer for Gulf Communities

By Lauri Lebo

…ganization’s suggested prayer is “Give us the wisdom to end this tragedy.” I support that sentiment, especially when it’s accompanied by action. While BP may have stopped the implosion of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the overwhelming amount of destruction has not gone away. An extraordinary amount of cleanup work remains. For more information on the event or to find a participating church, go here….

Magic in the Air: How Intellectuals Invented the Myth of a Mythless Society

By Jason Josephson Storm

…dhood I remember scholars, scientists, and artists travelling from Europe, Mexico, and the United States to participate in “shamanic” trance workshops under her leadership. My grandmother inspired me to become a scholar, but I was always skeptical of spirits, and moreover I was doubly skeptical of the notion that the modern Western world had lost its magic. I found myself shifting gears and looking at America and Europe through the eyes of an outs…

But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

By Candace E. West

…te, or ads should be familiar with. Trump started with a dog whistle about Mexico and fleeing jobs, then continued with the moment that set the tone for the rest of the debate: To some it may not seem so bad at first glance, but any woman who has ever had to smile politely while being condescended to at work knows this for the smug, dismissive bullsh*t it is. And that was the debate in a nutshell. It was followed by 90 minutes of Trump trying to b…

The Revelation of Kurt Andersen: With ‘Evil Geniuses’ a Media Mandarin Discovers Plutocracy

By Peter Laarman

…illions of borrowers; they shipped two-thirds of our manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China and then stripped away the pension benefits of the workers who remained; they even managed to turn public schools and public prisons into profit centers for the investor class. And these days: big-time private equity operators wringing billions from pain and suffering in disease-ridden nursing homes? Kids dying outright while the old and desperate lose thei…
