By Timothy Beal

…n this story? Is it, as the dominionist interpretation argues, a matter of use value? Are animals and the rest of creation there for humankind to use, a bounteous gift of “natural resources”?

…ing, logical circularity of “news” and an (at least initial) inability for users to distinguish between credible news outlets and non-credible ones—that contributed to the plausibility of the announcement. Third, a good hoax hovers on the edge of believability. Like Scope Bacon, Google Nose Beta, or a Martian invasion, a well-crafted prank should have a solid media penetration (multiple and interlinked sources) and just enough of a connection to r…

…rationale for his religious school from defending segregation to religious freedom, arguing that, because the school received no federal funds, federal laws did not apply, omitting the fact that it paid no taxes.

…for eternity.” RB: This line of questioning does, in fact, get us into the uses—and misuses—of history (which, I suppose, brings up Jeff’s use of Jonathan Edwards and Charles Finney as “fundamentalist” precursors). More to Evan’s point, however, the widespread acceptance of the abortion myth tends, falsely, to skew the analysis of the religious right along a political axis. If you look at the true origins of the movement, on the other hand, it bec…
