Do Dogs Have a Soul?: Taking “Creaturely” Life Seriously

By Beatrice Marovich

…the body of a living creature, however, Dayan illuminates how her physical contact with dogs tests the boundaries of her knowledge of spiritual things. In evoking the way that dogs teach her about the life of the spirit, Dayan attributes to dogs what many refuse to attribute to anyone but human beings: something like spirit, a mind, or a soul. (Dayan is not particularly dogmatic about terms.) Many assume that the exclusion of other animals from sp…

Romney Had No Clue as to Obama Ground Game

By Joanna Brooks

…affs and offices,” Beeson said. “They were literally creating a one-to-one contact with voters,” something that Romney did not have the staff to match. “Now I know”? Yes, that’s the sound of me dropping my cup of egg nog. Because Rich Beeson could have simply counted field offices to make the inference that something was going on—Obama had three to four times as many field offices as Romney in the swing states. Or could have simply counted the st…

I Was Wrong About Occupy

By Donna Schaper

…gical as they articulated a need for communal, inspirational, face-to-face contact in which they could “appear” to one another. Secondly, they talked about the nearly complete privatization of municipal public space in a way that made a deep and tragic sense. Where can you go if you don’t own something? Does a public even exist if it has no space? The great irony is that they have been called the virtual demonstration, and here they were talking a…

The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

By Shaul Magid

…ish community. But since they haven’t repudiated Farrakhan as a figure, accusations of antisemitism remain. The reaction is an example of what Engel notes about antisemitism. Sarsour, for instance, raised tens of thousands of dollars in her Muslim community to repair the desecrated cemetery in St. Louis after an antisemitic attack, using some of the extra funds to repair a Jewish cemetery in Colorado. She also raised tens of thousands of dollars t…

How Julian Assange Is Like A Televangelist

By Sarah Posner

…ls Assange sent her after they met in a bar. Doyle has waged a wrenching crusade to get Moore and his supporters to acknowledge the severity of the Swedish womens’ charges, and not treat Assange as a persecuted do-gooder. (This can be accomplished, Doyle and others argue forcefully, without diminishing any commitment to a free press, combatting government secrecy, or ensuring that Assange receives due process both in Sweden and in the U.S., where…

Surprises in Survey of Hispanics on Homosexuality

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…SSRS, even had its own assumptions that surprised the researchers when the numbers debunked them. “With somewhere between three out of five Hispanics identifying as Catholic there was a thought walking into the survey that if there is a lack of support and acceptance in the Hispanic community, then it’s the Catholic nature of the community that’s driving it. Turns out that’s not the case at all. A majority Catholic Hispanics support legal gay marr…

Why Dylann Roof Acted on His Racism

By Joseph Laycock

…lyptic race war. If Roof did not read The Turner Diaries, he certainly had contact with people who had. In the days after the attack on the A.M.E. Church, discussion focused on how Roof’s actions were related to a wider culture of racism, both in South Carolina and throughout American society. It seems that within the culture of racist apocalypticism there is a division of labor between dreamers and doers, prophets and martyrs. Numerous hate crime…

Should NASA Have Given $1.1 Million to a Theology Institute?

By Michael Schulson

…itics/society/the economy/religion/etc. if NASA announced that it had made contact with an alien civilization, or at least had found some fossilized microbes on Mars? Other question are theory-oriented: how does the possibility of extraterrestrial life force people to think differently about sentience, human worth, the importance of Earth, or God? NASA seems to think these are serious concerns. “Astrobiology is expected to play a large part in fut…

Beyond Progressive Religion

By Ivan Petrella

…il end, however, because our religious diversity vanishes when it comes in contact with our political culture and process. We’ve become a country that actually requires its politicians to take openly Christian positions if they are to be successful, a country that sets up what I call “Christian litmus tests” for candidates running for office, a country that is unwilling to accept an agnostic, atheist, or non-Christian president. As David Domke and…
