By Peter Montgomery

…known as bacha bazi, or boy play; powerful Afghan men often surround themselves with young teenagers as a mark of social status. The Times editorialized, “The Pentagon’s indulgent, even complicit, attitude toward pedophiles among the Afghan militias that it funded and trained is indefensible, at odds with American values and with international laws Washington has taken the lead in promoting.” China: Filmmaker sues over censorship A documentarian…

Pastor Now Sees Anti-Gay Movement as “Mean-Spirited”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…, “The Issue” that consumed his church members. Richmond found himself evolving on the issue, mainly because he resented that it was being put ahead of other, more pressing concerns like “feeding the hungry, preaching the gospel, comforting the afflicted, standing up to racial intolerance—these were the struggles I signed up for, not determining the morality of what adults did in their bedrooms.” Richmond preached against homosexuality, but found…

Better Dead Than ‘Fed’: Behind Palin’s Dig at ‘Unbiblical’ Fed

By Julie Ingersoll

“Cease and desist” was Sarah Palin’s rebel yell at Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke last week, in a speech attacking the Fed’s plan to buy up $600 billion in government debt to stimulate the US economy. While the plan known as “quantitative easing” has been, like all monetary policy, the subject of debate, Palin’s speech wasn’t disagreement so much as it was a rallying cry for Tea Partiers, and a reassertion the Christian Reconstructionist b…

By Sarah Posner

…r information that is critical of Muslims and Muslim-Americans getting involved in public policy. They compile that into a guilt-by-association Powerpoint and then shop it to reporters.” These individuals include, said Khan, Frank Gaffney, who issues baseless warnings to members of Congress about “creeping shari’ah;” Paul Sperry, co-author of the book Muslim Mafia, which claimed that the Council on American Islamic Relations had infiltrated Capito…

8 Great Hanukkah Clips from TV

By Michael J. Altman

Note: The second clip below (it may be after the jump depending on how you got to this post) begins playing automatically. You may want to pause it before reading and enjoying the videos. — eds. Most articles during the course of Hanukkah’s 8 days will remind you about the holiday’s history or, perhaps, relate stories about how various communities are celebrating. Not being Jewish and growing up in the Bible belt, everything I learned about Hanuk…

War on Christmas, War on Schmistmas, Happy Holiday

By Julie Ingersoll

Today I told someone I won’t see again until the first of the year that I hoped he would have a happy holiday. This genuinely warm wish generated an unsettling response in which I was accused of participating in a “war on Christmas” in favor of “political correctness.” For the record, I am in no “war on Christmas.” I am not a Christian and have no desire to regulate how Christians celebrate this holiday. Nor have I engaged in any effort to limit…

A Meditation on Shopping and Desire

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…d to shop and told that filling our shopping carts will be our country’s salvation. The very shopping that put individuals and families spiraling into debt is now being celebrated once again. While last year was the year of reserve and frugality, we are now back where we belong: in the season of spending. While not reviving the post-September 11 rhetoric of shopping as an act of nationalism, we are once again being encouraged to spend—and told tha…

Atheists and Christians Compete to Give More

By Lauri Lebo

I get so weary of hearing that unless someone believes in a being who will condemn them to Hell if they don’t behave, they can’t possibly be a good person. It seems to never end, this debate over who is more moral—Christians or those who don’t believe in God. But you know, if atheists and Christians are going to brawl, at least they should brawl over something that actually makes the world a little bit better of a place. Which is why I get a kick…

High School Senior Leads Effort to Repeal Louisiana Anti-Evolution Law

By Lauri Lebo

I’ve long had a soft spot for young people standing up to religious bullying. So I want to give a shout out to Zack Kopplin, a Baton Rouge Magnet High School Senior. Kopplin is leading a campaign to repeal the stealth creationist law that is the 2008 Louisiana Science Eduction Act. In December, Kopplin stood up to the Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian organization that had been trying to get creationist-language inserted into state public schoo…
