Coming Out on a Christian Campus, Then and Now

By Ed Madden

…ing finding ourselves in a world in which something fundamental about ourselves is a category of silence at best, more likely a category of condemnation and stigmatization. I have no doubt that many find themselves coming to sexual awareness at Harding, as I did, or they hope and pray that Harding and its culture will, in some way, cure them—something I had also hoped. Self-awareness is difficult at Harding, coming out well-nigh impossible. It’s i…

Judgment Day is Coming; Wear Clean Underwear

By Lauri Lebo

I last wrote about the End of the World in July, so I thought it was time for an update. Apparently, it’s still scheduled for May 21. Actually, May 21 isn’t technically the end of the world. Rather, it’s the Day of Rapture, when the righteous are magically taken up to heaven. Which also means, as anyone who has read the Left Behind series knows, that suddenly pilotless planes will fall from the sky and driverless cars will crash. So folks might w…

Tokyo Governor Says Tsunami is Divine Punishment—Religious Groups Ignore Him

By Levi McLaughlin

…t,” and they inspire thousands of clergy and lay adherents to devote themselves to the this-worldly and transcendent salvation of suffering people. More generally, the spirit of community, resilience, and an obstinate refusal to give up in the face of adversity speaks to the country’s legacy of self-cultivation, communitarianism, and self-sacrifice in the interest of social improvement—all qualities that can be characterized as “religious.” It is…

Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

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…

Why the Hell Does Hell Still Matter?

By Kathryn Gin

…eventually be saved represented an extreme backlash against the dominant Calvinist notion that God chose only some for heaven. Universal salvation seemed a better fit with the heady atmosphere of Revolutionary optimism and the Enlightenment faith in human ability. Yet believers in universal salvation did not become a majority after 1800. Instead, the Protestant orthodoxy found new ways to argue for hell’s relevance in the fledgling nation. It was…

Republicans Tell Iowa Homeschoolers Education Not Government’s Role

By Julie Ingersoll

…com: Get government out of the way of our education so we can educate ourselves and our children. There are some people in our government who aren’t interested in the same things that you and I are interested in. They are trying to create some kind of world order. Bachmann touted her background as an Iowan and a homeschool mom. She told the crowd: “The family has a level of authority that the government may have trampled on. We need to make sure t…

Nobel Laureates Tell Gov. Jindal to Repeal Anti-Evolution Law

By Lauri Lebo

A Louisiana high-school senior who is leading an uphill battle to repeal his state’s anti-evolution “academic freedom” law just added a bunch of heavy hitters to his list of supporters. Less than a week after a state lawmaker introduced a bill to repeal the law, officially known as the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA), 41 science Nobel Laureates sent a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal and members of the legislature backing the measure. “Biologic…

Muslims Need Not Apply—To the White House or Congress

By Julie Ingersoll

…g Tea Party groups (and the “herd of cats” style of the tea partiers themselves) allows tea partiers to say all kinds of distorted and extreme things which can then be denied by other tea partiers. The result for those of us trying to follow the movement is that every time we write about something extreme, it’s dismissed with “well, every movement has its fringe folks.” I started to write this a week ago but had second thoughts because the whole e…

Tim Pawlenty’s Dilemma: How Far Will His Anti-Choice Extremism Go?

By Sarah Posner

Republican presidential hopeful and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty has a problem, the same problem every GOP aspirant has: he wants to be radical enough for the party’s base, yet he has to appear anodyne enough for the rest of the country if he wins the nomination. In Pawlenty’s case, the answer to the latter call was to write an extremely dull book about himself, Courage to Stand. Conor Friedersdorf, for one, is unimpressed. Noting Pawle…

Remembering Gil Scott-Heron

By Mark Hulsether

As I write, the news has just crossed the wire that Gil Scott-Heron died on April 27, at only 62 years old. He was among a select handful of the musicians most influential for the rise of hip-hop music and slam poetry, during its immediate pre-history from the late 1960s to early 1980s. I first heard Scott-Heron in the 1970s for his signature anthem of black militancy, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”; and I heard him on tour in the 1980s w…
