Here lies a failure of nerve of colossal proportions. The New York Times reported the Obama deficit-reduction plan on the same Sunday front page where it also reported how Japanese consumers remain so traumatized by the devastation of their 1990s “lost decade” that they still r…

Dear President Bush

By Jimmy McCarty

…d and I was pissed. It was shortly after that the transformation began to happen. I was making good money (in my world $35,000 to $40,000 is really good money) but was extremely unhappy. I began to question the righteousness of preparing ships for war, and wondered if I would somehow be responsible for the blood of those killed by the weapons on board if they were used.

What This All-Star Christian Movie Gets Wrong About Christianity

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…al safety as he lies dying on the ground—is an enemy of Christianity. (And apparently there are a lot of those around, because the EMT in question finds himself in court over “proselytization under the cover of authority.” Whether these are meant to be criminal or civil charges isn’t entirely clear in the context of the movie. I have not been able to find reference to them in the criminal or civil code of Illinois, where the movie is set. I did le…

Gay sex has been a crime in Tanzania, punishable with life in prison, since British colonial rule, but there is no record of anyone serving serious time for it. LGBT Tanzanians have always been a…

We Would Be Wise to Pay Attention to Trump’s Apocalyptic QAnon Posting Spree

By Thomas Lecaque

…ind him. He holds in his right hand a ghostly “Q+” (according to some, the code name Trump himself uses when he posts on Q message boards) and the text reads “The World Will Soon Understand/Nothing Can Stop What is Coming,” a direct reference to “The Storm.” As I wrote back in 2020: The QAnoners’ apocalypse, unsurprisingly, is one of political partisan violence, culminating in “The Storm,” when all of the so-called “deep state leaders” will be arr…

…ons, among religions, among cultures, for an interfaith dialogue and I am happy to report to you that the following month, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously approved our resolution calling for an interfaith dialogue among the great religions of the world.

Well, the last time I looked, taxpayers came in all colors, races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual identities. Famil…

Prayer vs. Medicine in the Courts

By Shawn Francis Peters

…ikely to claim that this conflict in the laws (spiritual healing practices appear to be protected under one part of the criminal code but not under another) violates their right to due process of law. Wisconsin’s “treatment through prayer” provision is not unique: More than thirty other states offer similar kinds of apparent legal protections for devout parents who reject medicine and turn to prayer when their children are ailing. A number of grou…
