From “It’s Just Words” to Just Words: Speech Ethics in the Time of Trump

By Brad R. Braxton

…n that was never shared. As my progeny, Karis possesses some of my genetic code. Furthermore, since we live in the same house and share daily experience, I also have contributed to her cultural DNA. Even as relatives who share so much, Karis and I must exercise patience if we are to genuinely hear, and be heard by, the other. If an abiding commitment to patience is necessary for healthy communication between blood relatives, how much more patience…

The Tebow Superbowl Ad: Offense, Defense, or Interference?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…Bowl halftime extravaganza some years ago, received the outrage it did because it was perceived to be an act of sacrilege within the free-floating social sacred that is the Super Bowl. So long as the religion is non-sectarian, non-denominational, devoid of anything other than marketing content (and not too nude) it is free to be aired at the Super Bowl. That is one reason why the American viewing public seems prepared to stomach Super Bowl adverti…

The Uncertain Post-Obergefell World of Religious Exemptions

By Sarah Posner

…isn’t covered because their boss thinks it’s tantamount to murder–dignity didn’t enter into the equation. We’re focused on the bakers and the caterers, in part because the religious right has made such a spectacle of them, with hyperbolic pronouncements about the end of religious freedom and free speech. It’s easy to forget that in most states, as well as under federal law, LGBT people are left unprotected in public accommodations, housing, and em…

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

By Julie Ingersoll

…’ shall be imposed on the people of these United States. We support a debt-free, interest-free money system.” Congressional Tea Partiers Vow to Challenge the Fed Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Fed, which passed the House earlier this year but didn’t become law, is expected to be even more popular in the incoming Congress. There’s even speculation that the House Republicans might mount a challenge to the whole system, and Rand Paul is promising to jo…

White House Unveils Contraception Accommodation Plan [UPDATED]

By Sarah Posner

…who will pay for the coverage: The catch here is that there’s a difference between “revenue neutral” and “free.” By one report’s measure, it costs about $21.40 to add birth control, IUDs and other contraceptives to an insurance plan. Those costs may be offset by a reduction in pregnancies. But unless drug manufacturers decide to start handing out free contraceptives, the money to buy them will have to come from somewhere. Where will it come from,…

“Mitt Romney Style”—A Virtually Religion Free 2012 Contest?

By Joanna Brooks

…n, and Democratic operatives have fallen in line as well. Perhaps it’s because Romney’s policy positions bear virtually no imprints of his faith. Perhaps it’s because Romney himself has taken pains to avoid discussing his religion. Or perhaps it’s because Obama would be ill-served by bringing religion into the campaign, given what happened in 2008 when he was obliged to defend himself against critics of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Hard-right b…

The Bad Religion at the Heart of GOP Healthcare Policy

By Peter Laarman

…poor and without health coverage, that’s all about you. We wash our hands. Free markets: If you are poor, you are perfectly “free” to sleep under a bridge, in the immortal words of Anatole France. But the wealthy are totally free to suck up health care resources via tax-favored health savings accounts. And it goes without saying that the insurance companies and health providers are totally free to suck out your blood. State authority on insurance…

What the Danish Cartoon Controversy Tells Us About Religion, the Secular, and the Limits of the Law

By Winnifred Fallers Sullivan

…contemporary Islam, Mahmood argues that many Muslims were not offended because a law against representation of the prophet was broken but because a person they loved and revered was insulted. She considers two possible legal framings of the injury, one as an incidence of racism to be classified as a hate crime, the other in terms of blasphemy and free speech. She then shows how each fails in this case for various reasons, but, that it is, in large…

Glenn Beck’s Political Theology

By Daniel Schultz

…as defined by the empire, then it will bear decisively upon sociology because the freedom of God will surface in the brickyards and manifest itself as justice and compassion. That’s the God I know and love, one who provokes real change on behalf of those who cannot create it for themselves, one whose love is not threatened by a diverse society, one who wildly and without a doubt free, and calls us to real freedom, which is to live as neighbors, w…

Take It Off, Or We’ll Make You: On Sarkozy’s Proposed Burqa Ban

By Shabana Mir

…lloween masks should be similarly avoided by Muslims. Select costumes that use make-up rather than masks. Select costumes that do not use any forms of head-covering (e.g. wigs, scarves, nun’s habit, pirate hat). Dressing up as, say, Whoopi Goldberg may be impermissible because it necessitates dreadlocks. Dressing up as, say, Queen Elizabeth also involves head-wear, and should be avoided. The Muslim-Catholic comparison has already become a sore poi…
