Racist Remarks by popular BYU Religion Professor Spark Controversy

By Joanna Brooks

…Bruce R. McConkie, a member of the Church’s high-ranking Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, once a leading proponent of racist theological justifications of the ban, told a gathering of LDS educators: “Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whomsoever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge…

Jews and Christians for Santorum?

A new website, and a new robocall in Ohio, is claiming that Christians and Jews are against Mitt Romney and for Rick Santorum, mostly because Romney is for your kid’s male teacher wearing a dress and heels to school, and Santorum is for “social sanity.” Here’s the text of the robocall, via the website JewsandChristianstogether.org: Hi, my name is Brian Camenker; I’m a Jew from Massachusetts. And, this is Darcy Brandon; I’m a Christian from Califo…

…never be able to change the laws back to being pro-woman until women themselves are voting pro-choice.” Christian women can own their abortions—or they can repent. There are entire ministries devoted to women who regret their abortions, like Rachel’s Vineyard, a Christian “therapy” retreat funded by Priests for Life.

Is Pro-Life Cause Célèbre Chen Guangcheng Actually Pro-Life?

By Lindsay Beyerstein

While anti-abortion advocates in the U.S. have embraced Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng as a “pro-life” activist, Chen is, in fact, a crusader against forced abortion and sterilization. In the U.S., “pro-life” connotes opposition to abortion, per se, so Chen isn’t an anti-abortion activist in the U.S. sense. He is a self-taught lawyer who brought down the wrath of local officials by demanding they follow the law of the land and stop forced abor…

NC Pastor Says Gays Should Be “Penned Up With a Fence”

By Anthea Butler

The recent vote in North Carolina opposing Same Sex marriage has unleashed a stream of invectives from fundamentalist pastors hoping to one-up each other on their homophobia. None, however, could outdo the most recent contestant to the fray, Pastor Charles Worley, who said that lesbians and gays should be “penned up with a fence, and food dropped down to them. In a couple of years, they would die, because they can’t reproduce.” Meanwhile, don’t b…

The Internets Own Your Religion

By Hussein Rashid

I am a scholar of religion by profession, but I like to play in technology. So when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the body responsible for generic top level domains (gTLD) like .com, .org., and .net, asked for proposals for new gTLD, I watched with some fascination. One of the earliest discussions was around allowing “.xxx” to indicate pornography-related sites. However, I am interested in a new round of names…

Neither The Joker Nor Godlessness Drove Batman Shooting

By Jeffrey Scholes

When men don’t fear God, they give themselves to evil. This was clearly the case in the latest mass murder. —Ray Comfort As many of us are struggling to find a reason or reasons for the Aurora, Colorado theater shootings in the early morning of Friday, July 20, there is no shortage of pundits offering their own explanations.

Masculinity and Mass Violence: When Will We Acknowledge the Smoking Gendered Pronoun Hiding in Plain Sight?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…away from the He-God of the sexist tradition, the problem is clearly not solved. If we’re looking at race and religion as important elements that mass killers have drawn upon for their violent rage, there’s no reason for us to look away from associated cultural constructions of masculinity as a comparably important factor. The sins of our religious fathers Whatever the unique complex of psychosocial, religious, financial, moral, political, or othe…
