Neuroscience Says Evil is “Over”: Not So Fast…

By Paul Wallace

…uff. To wit: “My main goal,” writes Cambridge psychopathologist Simon Baron-Cohen in his book The Science of Evil, “is replacing the unscientific term ‘evil’ with the scientific term ’empathy.’ ” This is thoroughgoing ideology. No one can say such a thing who hasn’t already decided, once and for all, that evil is over. Perhaps other unscientific terms should be replaced by scientific ones. We could start, for example, by ridding our language of th…

Suicide Leads to Calls for Improved Treatment of LGBT Mormons

By Joanna Brooks

…an abomination—the choice of selfish individuals. We’ve believed that same-gender attraction is comparable to a disease like alcoholism, or to pornography addiction—an unhealthy compulsion to be battled and overcome. We’ve bought into the idea—and many Mormons still do—that it is possible to change one’s sexual orientation through various therapies, or marriage, or prayer and fasting. We’ve been led to believe that equal rights and protections fo…

Roy “10 Commandments” Moore Doesn’t Want to Reform the Senate, He Has a Higher Calling

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ngely principled way. If you put that consistency together with his nothing-to-lose-edness, that’s a powerful combination.” Of course, this anti-establishment approach to one’s own political party is nothing new to the GOP. Affinity for the “political outsider” played a not-insignificant role in delivering the White House to a shady real estate magnate who’d never held public office. Indeed, as Vox noted, Moore’s election can be seen as a victory…

Trump’s Nominee to Fill RBG’s Seat Is Unfit. By Definition.

By Andrew L. Seidel

…be, make that nomination.’” He reiterated less than two years ago, “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.” We are in the middle of a partisan election right now. Election Day may be 43 days away, but many people, including myself, have already voted. In a new poll, Americans agreed that the seat should not be filled until after the election, including…

Right Wing Christians and Radical Feminists Form an Odd (Transphobic) Couple

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ively sued the federal government for daring to use its education agency to advise schools nationwide on emerging best practices. A district judge ruled in favor of those states and blocked the guidance in August. Given the arrival of a commander-in-chief who fires off Twitter insults in the wee hours of the morning, and a proposed cabinet that seems hell-bent on destroying the institutions they’ve been charged with running, we must resist the nor…

Religious Freedom Advocates Warn of “Theocratic Zones of Control”

By Patricia Miller

…of legal exemption,” according to Clarkson, by building on the success of high-profile religious freedom cases like Hobby Lobby, “religifying” organizations so they qualify for ministerial exemptions, passing state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRAs), advocating for new individual exemptions like that sought by Davis from issuing same-sex marriage licenses, and making religious liberty claims in local zoning cases under the Religious…

Pathological Optimist Documentary Makes a Medical Martyr of Anti-Vax Crusader

By Gordon Haber

…ublished an article with the deceivingly scientific-sounding title of Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children. Its authors claimed to have studied 12 children who suffered both from inflammatory bowel disease and a sudden onset of autism. According to its lead author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, eight of the children began to exhibit their behavioral symptoms—a sharp regression in langua…

“Split at the Root”: Adrienne Rich and (Religious) Identity

By Ryan Harper

…tify, accord with, ignore their existence”). This daughter of a fairly well-to-do Baltimore family—raised in part by an African-American domestic worker—also understood the struggle for identity did not occur only among the marginalized, though the struggle became starkly manifest there. Like James Baldwin, one of her primary influences, she knew that victimizing groups were also their own victims, imperiled by the injustices they perpetuated and…

Church Attendance is (Once Again) Correlated with Authoritarianism — So Why Do We Refuse to Acknowledge It?

By Chrissy Stroop

…ading this misinformation: A version of this thesis appeared recently in a highly-circulated New York Times article, which made the bold claim that ‘Trump is connecting with a different type of evangelical voter’ beyond ‘the churchgoing, conservative activists who once dominated the G.O.P.’ Despite its zombie-like resurrections since Trump’s rise to power, the assertion that unchurched White evangelicals are the most supportive of Trump is not sup…

Francis Must Make Changes to Have a Real Effect

By Patricia Miller

…ity rating, which is 11 points, not 6. But my point remains. Given the near-consensus that Benedict’s papacy was pretty much a disaster for the church, I find it a bit surprising that three-quarters of Catholics still had a generally favorable view of the guy. To me, as I said, it suggests that most Catholics don’t pay much attention to the particulars in Rome and have a more or less favorable view of every pope. And while Francis is obviously pop…
