By Patricia Miller

…ar at this point whether Aitcheson will return to St. Leo’s. What was initially hailed as a brave reckoning with the past and the events in Charlottesville was quickly revealed to be desperate attempt to head-off a denouement by a former parishioner who stumbled across Aitcheson’s past on Google. As I’ve noted, the church has yet to fully come to terms with the racism in its own ranks, never mind the radical roots of the anti-abortion activism it…

…ose to take communion there anyway. It was after communion that he took a walk along the beach and started speaking to the waves about his tumultuous faith. The waves responded, McHargue says, when he spoke Jesus’ name. “Time stopped. The waves seemed to stand still, as if an unseen hand had pressed pause on the universe’s remote,” writes McHargue. “I felt God with me, in me, and through me.” But even after hearing God, his scientific mind struggl…

Facebook: Internet Highway to Hell

By Anthea Butler

…her sister Willow to ride on a friend who had the chutzpah to say “Sarah Palin’s Alaska is failing so hard right now.” Willow’s response was to call the poster a gay slur, and Bristol jumping in the fray to respondL “you’re just running your mouth to talk sh•t.” I give the Palin girls credit: the apples didn’t fall from the tree.

…e assumption here is that just because some forms of religion are patriarchal, all religion is harmful for women. However, many feminist theologians and thealogians have shown the possibility of remaining within religious traditions, or creating new religious traditions, while taking feminist questions seriously. I have not seen a marked change within the academic Women’s Studies literature though; there is still a lack of consideration of religio…

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…them as predatory, or presumptuous about U.S. Christians and their political affiliations. They might become angry that companies have such power in shaping the public’s perception of Christianity and, indeed, in shaping Christians’ own ideas about their communities’ identity and values. Perhaps the ad would act as confirmation bias, or serve to normalize slogans, tones, and political attitudes like “Let’s Go Brandon” among Christians. The whole…

By Kelsy Burke

…al responses), but there’s also plenty of candid talk about sex acts—especially online. On blogs, message boards and online stores, evangelicals receive answers to a wide array of incredibly detailed questions about sex. These websites, unsurprisingly, are strictly porn-free: no videos of intercourse, no nude images. Even terms like “cock” and “pussy” are swiftly deleted by moderators. If websites include images, they are stick figures, line drawi…

Sikh Temple Shooting: Two Massacres and the Virtual Transformation of Trauma

By Shruti Devgan

…immediate therapeutic character of the internet in processing traumas: the internet’s ability to shrink time and space extends to the very way in which a group trauma is coped with. Compared to the massacre of 1984, when the community was forced to hide their trauma as a shameful secret, the Wisconsin tragedy points to the internet is becoming a space for dealing with trauma openly and with the support of other groups. Trauma involves an inability…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…how if you actually read the Bible outside of the church it turns you liberal. Also, get a New Revised Standard version. There is a conservative Bible project that is cutting out passages considered too liberal, so get a whole Bible. Next, get out on the streets. You’ve got to put yourself in a different place. We call ourselves the 99% but, in fact, racial, sexual, gender identities and real socio-economic differences exist among people and unles…

I just genuinely didn’t like being evil all that much.” The same respondent applauded the survey and explained, “I personally felt perplexed as to why I had such an aversion to making Dark Side choices since this is just a game.” The ethics of play Thanks to the moral dilemmas it poses, SWTOR gives players an appreciation for the importance of ethical warfare. “There are many ‘grey’ decisions,” said one respon…

Krapp’s Last Tweet: The Rise (and Fall?) of Privilege in the Digital Economy

By Kevin Healey

…s not brood in solitude but steps onto the streets. It is neither rash nor paralyzed by fear and despair. With camera in hand, it leads us beyond the Janus-faced present to a future in which our technologies augment justice for all rather than privilege for the few. Let’s hope—or rather, insist—that tech leaders and legislators alike take heed. If they do, there is reason for patient optimism. As the Irish-Iranian poet Kareem Tayyar suggests, in a…
