Lewis’s sense, while dismissing whole denominations for defecting from “the historic faith.”) Elizabeth Johnson, The Activist Mommy, decided to burn the offending article for “teaching children…how to be safely sodomized.” She added, “We should not be teaching children, peri…

…tion to people of either sex. Crucially, when the bill was drafted, same sex marriage and opposite sex civil partnerships had not been made legal.

…essary, unfortunately—that well-done ethnography can reveal. What’s your next book? My next project will be sort of the reverse of this book, in which I’ll investigate how people from the “West”—the US and the UK, mostly—adjust to and manage cultural tensions when living in an “Islamic” context, that of the United Arab Emirates. I’ve spent over a year hanging out and talking to people at a social club for Westerners and conducted interviews of mos…

…ent officials” should behave. Finding a member of Congress whose views or experience are analogous to Moore’s is tricky, but Texas Sen.

But Cruz, who became a Senator at age 43, has had to temper…

Catholic Anti-Nuke Activists Looking at 20 Years in Prison a True Test for Religious Freedom

By Patrick Hornbeck

…se, or it shouldn’t. There should be a healthy debate about the place and extent of religious exemption in contemporary, pluralistic societies. The content of the religious conviction concerned, however, should not be at issue. And the question as to whether the government has no equally or less burdensome way of achieving its objectives should be a real inquiry, not a fig leaf. In practice, however, it seems that certain kinds of religious belief…

…“suspended the business” of CHESA. From Pink News: In Tanzania, male homosexual sex carries a sentence anywhere between 30 years and life in prison. Their Colonial-era penal code criminalises anyone who “has carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature.” Earlier this year, Tanzania stopped health clinics from providing HIV services, saying they “cater to homosexuals.” It is believed 33,000 people in Tanzania died from AIDS-related il…
