‘Good Wife’ Alicia Florrick is an Atheist (and Drinks a Lot)

By Lisa Webster

I wasn’t sure how far “The Good Wife”‘s Alicia Florrick had made it into cultural consciousness, but now that the NY Times‘ Eric Asimov has done a serious bit of pop critique on that character’s preference for red wine (strong women drink it, and they gulp rather than sip) I feel that it is okay to comment on her religion—or lack thereof. In this week’s episode, Alicia, embarked on her first-ever political campaign, must sit for a taped interview…

New LDS Handbook Cements Anti-Trans Policy—And it Doesn’t Make a Whole Lot of Sense

By Kelli D. Potter

I was raised in the LDS Church. In fact, I’m a sixth-generation Mormon. Or, rather, I was a Mormon until just over a decade ago when I left the church for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, its racism, gender inequity, and anti-LGBTQ+ policies. The last of these reasons was deeply personal since I am a transgender woman. Even before the infamous The Family: A Proclamation to the World (hereafter “the Proclamation”) was published…

Sex and the Chosen People: Be Fruitful and Multiply, Etc.

By Mandy Van Deven

…uality are exoticized, feared, deplored, considered titillating. There’s a lot to say, and so much of what has been said by the rabbis is so deeply troubling that there remains, for us, plenty more to say. Many of your contributors also write about the oppressive nature of marriage rituals and expectations. How are Jewish women re-scripting marriage away from this dynamic? There’s a lot of exciting work being done right now around marriage, as mor…

First U.S. Visit of the Virgin Mary Confirmed in Wisconsin

By Lewis Wallace

…e United States, and immigrants from Catholic countries may be pushing the numbers up. As a symbol of Catholic catechesis, and as a representative of a seemingly humbler, more educated past, Adele may have a chance to make her mark. If she does, the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help will need some visitor accommodations—like a parking lot. It might look to Lourdes to improve its website: on the official site for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes,…

Evangelical Pastor Argues for Full LGBT Inclusion: “I Think It’s Inevitable”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…nd is the litmus test for orthodoxy. Given that, I believe there will be a lot of out-of-hand dismissal of the book. Do you think the moveable middle of evangelicalism can use your book, especially its biblical exegesis, as a way to move toward acceptance for LGBT people? Evangelicalism is a very diverse, broad movement and there are many different expressions. I think, very shortly, there will be an expression of evangelicalism which will be incl…

RD10Q: The Fight Against Feminism

By Kathryn Joyce

…s audience as well, many of whom said the book was a fair exploration of a lot of questions they’ve witnessed play out in their congregations. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? Inform and piss off, I guess. In general, more people need to know about these topics. A lot of people find it hard to believe that this movement exists, and there’s certainly a “news of the weird” part of any story about an 18-ch…

Magic in the Air: How Intellectuals Invented the Myth of a Mythless Society

By Jason Josephson Storm

…ed so much normativity. Is there anything you had to leave out? There is a lot I had to leave out. I tend to overwrite, and the first draft was massive and I had to cut a lot. So I ended up eliminating rough chapters on French social theory, American philosophy, Japanese accounts of Western Esotericism, and German Monist Leagues. One of the hardest bits to cut was a short section on the American philosopher William James. Probably everybody has he…

Park51 and the Ground Liberals Are Forced to
Fight On

By Sarah Posner

…inciples so it’s kind of important when you see a poll that says a growing number of Americans think you might be a Muslim. The President continues to tell everyone he’s a Christian but yet the number rises. See that? Which came first, the thought he was a Muslim or the lack of trust? If he is a Muslim, he can’t be trusted? Or if you can’t trust him, he must be a Muslim? In any case, Obama strained mightily to placate the likes of Graham and Brody…

National Review’s Kevin Williamson Comes Out Against Daughters, Misunderstands Science

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…e any male offspring will someday either “cash in big” and produce a whole lot of offspring himself, or else be shut out, but female offspring will probably go on to crank out a predictable number of their own offspring every year. In such a situation, mothers in good condition can afford to take the risk on male offspring, because they’re playing with the “house money” that nature has given them. Meanwhile, mothers in poor condition should favor…

For Buddhism, Science is Not a Killer of Religion

By Paul Wallace

…I was visiting India for the first time and while I was there I learned a lot of interesting things. One of these is, the roads of India are perilous and unbelievably chaotic. No one really knows how to drive, it seems, and the water buffalo and cows are outnumbered in the streets only by the small and fast-moving motorized rickshaws. So when I was taking a four-hour taxi ride from Delhi to Agra I had to have something to distract my attention fr…
