A Sliver of White Evangelicals Abandoning Trump, But That May Be Enough

By Daniel Schultz

…cause serious headaches for his campaign in places like North Carolina or Georgia. But there are bigger threats to his reelection.

Praying in Fear

By Shabana Mir

…s of my life. It was like lying in peace on the Cumberland Island sands in Georgia while the warm sun washed sleep down upon me—except it wasn’t sleep, it was better than sleep. I remember my parents’ consternation over my vigils (after all normal people prayed only as much as they had to and no more, right?) and the personal Heaven I felt I carried with me when praying at leisure.

Christian Radio, Muslim Radio

By Svend White

…, over the years I have logged in many an hour listening like some wartime code breaker to folks like James Dobson, Chuck Colson, etc. For years, I was a near fanatical listener to Hank “The Bible Answer Man” Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute, tuning in like clockwork to his show weekdays 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Washington DC’s WAVA 105.1. Still, as much as I appreciated (and occasionally even found inspiring) these programs’ message of sel…

Conservative Catholic Elites Oppose Trump… as He Rides Catholic Vote to Victory in Michigan

By Patricia Miller

…?) And who were similarly silent when the party tried to capitalize on the coded racism of the anti-Obama forces in 2012 or upend the Affordable Care Act, even though the Catholic Church has been advocating for universal health care since Model Ts were on the road. And it’s even funnier that those who helped put Bush and Cheney in office and watched as they led the nation into endless, unwinnable wars, and justified torture to prevent an ever-pres…

To be sure, Bowie’s a freak—code for “fag” among the real-life Jeff Spicolis in my junior high class, righteous dudes whose idea of total radness is firing up a beer bong, dropping the needle on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, and watching The Wizard of Oz with the sound turned off. But he’s so heart-stoppingly beautiful, in such a confusingly feminine way, that he short-circuits my teenage brain,…
