Religion Reporting as Therapy? Praying for Help with Budget Crisis…

By Michael J. Altman

…on Sunday mornings. She wasn’t driving a bus, but a dispute over a traffic ticket involving a veiled woman in France has intensified controversy over French anti-veil legislation. Regardless of whether or not you get the religion of soccer, seminarians in Rome are quite happy to put on a pair of cleats. Forget the U.S. tie with England, I’m more interested in the Redemptoris Mater win over the North American Martyrs. Back in Los Angeles, Cardinal…

Ramadan: Third Day is the Charm

By Amina Wadud

…en you start of your regular day something sits like some a canceled movie ticket in lump on the top of your stomach. You belch a lot and it reeks of what ever this lump was made of, all morning long if not all day. On the other hand, the third day is the day your body starts to accept that it is fasting, requiring less food. Anyone prone to headaches those first two days due to severe drops in blood sugar and dehydration will be over it now and s…

Sarah Palin Calls Biblical Patriarchs “Neanderthals”

By Julie Ingersoll

…rro, who was the first female vice presidential candidate on a major party ticket, for all she did for “those of us who came after her.” One has to wonder what Ferraro was thinking as Palin carried on, placing Ferraro smack in the middle of Palin’s own reading of feminist history dating to Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Palin noted some things that had not changed in the years between Ferraro’s campaign and her own: the “neanderthals…

Strippers versus Church: Cosmic Battle With Civic Consequences

By Joseph Laycock

…reedom. These positions are rooted not in evangelical Christianity, but in American civil religion. Robert Bellah once described American civil religion as, “an institutionalized collection of sacred beliefs about the American nation.” It is exactly these beliefs that George appealed to when he said of his counter-protest, “The great thing about this country is that everyone has a right to believe what they want.” Another local business owner, Lar…

More Sex Icon than Feminist

By Kathryn Joyce

…tion in all instances except to save the mother’s life, and has joined the ticket with McCain, a man who has opposed efforts to institute wage equality, saying instead that women need more education and training. This twisting of feminist history and rhetoric to protect a champion of anti-feminist causes, traditionalism and sex-kitten objectification, is particularly unnerving for exactly the reasons that Palin’s biggest supporters claim it is: fo…

Biblical Patriarchy Advocates Celebrate Titanic 100th with “Women and Children First” Theme

By Julie Ingersoll

…y three times the survival rate of those in third. One would only use “raw numbers” if one was trying to make a point not supported by the numbers. In biblical patriarchy, the refrain of “women and children first” hides an agenda whereby the women are “first” only insofar as they keep their place which is subordinate to men. I wrote about the fallout when they don’t in my book, Evangelical Christian Women. And in Quiverfull, RD’s Kathryn Joyce sho…

Niqab and Short Shorts

By Hussein Rashid

…of protest is to wear the niqab and nothing else. Then, the women will get tickets, not for being nude, but for being clothed. In my opinion, that would show the absolute absurdity of the state trying to control women’s dress. I have written elsewhere that this sort of action, of controlling a woman’s body, is simply male penis worship run amok. These ladies, who call themselves Niqabitches, have done a great service in showing the inherent contra…

Tea party groups are learning about the “biblical basis” of the Constitution from the Constitution Party-related Institute on the Constitution.

Shucking Off The ’50s. And the ’40s. And the…

By Daniel Schultz

…relate to as how they relate. After all, social conservatives, unionists, and yes, even the rich deserve political representation, though not in today’s crapulent and apparently unchanging form. A new and more just way of being together might be just the ticket to getting the American political whale off the beach. All it would take would be a charismatic and articulate leader, who, along with a thoughtful and responsible political establishment,…
