By Anthea Butler

…ke away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car. We normally think of robots as almost pure code, yet the scene last week when Graystone orders the Zoebot to rip off her arm raises some interesting stakes in this.

…ther setback in the struggle for gay rights on the continent. Chad’s penal code is more than half a century old and does not explicitly mention homosexuality.

By Donald Heinz

…, Lutheran, and most Protestant, including evangelical, mission is defined today by a servant model. Modern Christians express their discipleship through medical, educational, agricultural service to those who need it, because they see the fully human Christ in all the faces of the needy and marginalized. The Christian martyrs in Afghanistan called themselves “the hands and feet of Jesus, not his mouth.” There is a lesson here for “progressive rel…

By Deborah Whitehead

…convincing was this product launch, complete with Facebook ad campaign and promotional website including a promo video that went viral, that a number of customers were disappointed and angry to find out that it was a fake. Part of the confusion seems to have been that the launch occurred on March 28, not the customary April 1. But just as important was consumer demand. Enough people were convinced by the slick product rollout that they actually wa…

By Peter Montgomery

…ay, in addition to struggling with an addiction to pornography. This short promo video offers an overview of their stories.

…leeper cell.” He is political and concerned about the plight of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories. He may wish to lend moral and financial support to Muslims in these regions but is not “operational.” The third type is the militant Muslim willing to fight and die for “Muslim causes.” Missing entirely from this discourse is the option to organize and become active in nonviolent civic or political organizations that suppo…

By John D. Carlson

…nvading a country and overthrowing its government. The US may have been in Afghanistan for eight years, but it never committed the resources to succeed. Obama, following Niebuhr, reminds us we are not as innocent as we think; amending for previous mistakes requires showing Afghans the US is serious about earning—quickly, one hopes—the right to withdraw. Finally, if Obama wants to root himself within the ethical realist tradition embodied by other…

This is also an indication of what war means to Americans domestically. What does it mean for the war to be over? For people in the U.S. versus people in the coun…

Goy to the World: What Does Hanukkah Have to Teach Us About Living in Empire?

By Garret Keizer

…ssion, then what? And how should we interpret a phrase like “the people of Afghanistan and Iraq” in one of my statements above? Which people? If an American occupying force is not viewed with favor by the people of Afghanistan, is a federation of local warlords? Does a girl whose face has been disfigured by a fanatic’s acid worry as much as I do about the dangers of American imperialism? That said, if a “good friend of America” oppressed its women…
