Christian Morality vs. Free Markets: The Constants of a Conservative

By Eric C. Miller

…mainstream—interested in freedom as well as virtue. Do you see the tension between freedom and virtue as a philosophical dispute, or is it more of a pragmatic matter? That is, in your view, does the debate hinge more on principle, or electability? I agree wholeheartedly with your point about how touting rights and freedoms can soften the rhetoric of even the most traditionalist—perhaps theocratic—candidates. If memory serves, there was actually a…

Rage or Courage?: YouTube Terrorism Take Two

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…tay on YouTube,” it said. Google is, in effect, walking a precarious line between advocacy of free speech and incitement to violence. Blocking the video might encourage copycat endeavors to prohibit other material, yet most would no doubt agree that endless provocation of violence must also be avoided—or at least mitigated. All companies that allow people to post content online—Facebook and Twitter, as well as Google—have grappled with similar is…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…ree to ignore the basic facts of economics. Indeed. Or the Bible. Richards uses the old false dichotomy technique to make his case that free-market capitalism is fully consistent with Jesus’ teachings and Christian tradition. He wants to save us from believing either that private accumulation is “bad” and causes much of the world’s suffering, or that “God wants you to prosper and be rich”—as though the prosperity gospel is in any way the counterpa…

My Business, Myself: Piercing the Corporate Veil

By Howard M. Friedman

…. If the First Amendment has been interpreted to guarantee a corporation’s free speech rights, does it also have free religious exercise rights guaranteed by the same Amendment? Annex Medical claims it does, citing as evidence its formal Mission Statement to manufacture medical products of high quality and good value, while conducting business in a way that is pleasing to God and is faithful to Biblical principles and values. We will accomplish th…

Destruction, Or, Why Do Fundamentalists Seem To Enjoy Blowing Things Up?

By Daniel Schultz

…as defined by the empire, then it will bear decisively upon sociology because the freedom of God will surface in the brickyards and manifest itself as justice and compassion. Just so. The “still-speaking” God is a far bigger threat to fundamentalists than any statue or untapped oil reserve. God is free, and so are we. Neither Taliban nor American fundagelicals can rest easy while that proclamation is on the loose. P.S. Devilstower passes on an ex…

Jewish Studies Is a Free-Speech Zone, and It Needs to Stay That Way

By Aaron Hughes

…ing Jewish life on college campuses. While I was aware of their efforts to promote certain discourses and to curtail others, I largely left them alone. This was perhaps made easier on my campus because Hillel does not really bring in speakers—on top of the fact that I have the privilege to teach some of the brightest students I have ever encountered. Many of my Jewish students here are searchers, trying to make sense of their religion and to make…

Supreme Court Rules Religion is Special… This Time

By Katherine Stewart

…ened to the community after-hours should make themselves available as rent-free houses of worship. If you treat religious worship as something different than, say, student theater workshops and local running clubs, the reasoning went, then you are discriminating against religion. The same line of thought informs the world of government-funded, faith-based social services. There is no difference between a secular nonprofit drug rehabilitation servi…

Praying To The God Of The SUV

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…rity discounts the reality of free will. The hijackers on September 11 had free will: they used it to hijack planes and fly them into buildings. The people going to work had free will: some called in sick, some had tight shoes and stopped for a Band-Aid. Some got to work early or came in on a day off. If God has granted us free will, then God must stand back and let us use it. Any other action means that we are simply automatons. There would be no…

Free Yiddish Lessons, Vacation Liberty School, and Brangelina’s Universalism: The Week in Religion, Poetically

By Michael J. Altman

…ula, California is facing opposition from the Baptist church next door because of “the whole issue of Islam and what it stands for.” It seems it’d be easier to build mosques if they didn’t have any connection to Islam. In New York, the Cordoba House mosque (a.k.a. the dreaded “Ground Zero Mosque”) is still embroiled in controversy. The latest blocking strategy has been to apply for landmark status for the current building on the site. Echoing the…

Muslim Students Shocked By Professor’s Column

By Haroon Moghul

…summer, but not because the university suddenly contracted an aversion to free speech. Rather because we have a moral obligation to consider the consequences of our language beyond simple ideological commitments: A university is a community of human beings, too. For a Dean to turn to successful businessmen, accomplished alumni, and hard-working students and tell them that their feelings of marginalization are simply the result of misreading obvio…
