…ct do you anticipate the show can have? For the first time, Americans can experience a contextualized India in all its diversity. There are Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims and different personalities among them—the ambitious ladies’ man, the shy girl, the office pest, the love interest, the insecure assistant manager, the stoic Sikh (Guru Singh), and the hijabi (Rashmi Rao).

…parently been crossed for the CDU, which started the process of trying to expel him from the party. A representative of the Central Council of Jews in Germany salled Maassen’s rhetoric “a vocabulary which exhibits a very brown, i.e. National Socialist, tradition.” Schuler, one of Orbán’s guests in his meeting with Dreher, gave Maassen all the time in the world to defend himself against allegations of racism and anti-semitism—in spite of the overwh…

It is for this reason that I hope to devote further energy and attention to the marvelous and complex overlap between religion and art in the new year.

In an increasingly pluralistic and globalized society, religiously-based ethics cannot produce any sort of moral consensus, and instead only leads to a dangerous clash of inflexible, theologically-based “absolutes.” Secular ethics, on the other hand, are accessible to all indivi…

Hallucinogenic drugs can also be a bridge between individuals and God: indeed the Peyote Church of God legally mixes drug consumption and Holy visions in the institutional liturgy. Even sex can be related to the Divine. “Oh god, Oh God, OH GOD!” is a common refrain in many porno clips, a verbal expression of otherwo…
