GOP Does Not Stand For “Gay Old Party”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ave my friend soon enough. LaBarbera’s group is encouraging its members to contact the GOP’s new leader, Michael Steele, urging him to never, ever, under penalty of … well, a scolding, I suppose – and no more money from AFTAH – meet with those filthy, dastardly, gay Log Cabin Republicans – which boasts about 20,000 members nationwide. “Michael Steele and the GOP need to do the math: it is foolish and impractical to risk alienating millions of pro-…

Your Hatred Will Make Me Famous

By Joseph Laycock

…s blacklisted him from many clubs and internet forums. Individuals who had contact with Paige Brewer through vampire Web sites offered information to police in Minnesota. Others contacted Sharkey’s current paramour and tried to persuade her to return to her family. Sharkey responded to this rejection by sending an email to prominent vampires with the subject line “You are ALL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS,” in which he warned that he has requested a meeting…

This is Not a Religion Column: The Religious Vote of the Future, with a Pickle

…s vote of the future.” (If there is someone out there willing to say that, contact me and I’ll send your name along. Let’s get your career jump-started!) My own dreams of punditry went no further than my next reply. The most I could say on my assigned topic, I wrote, was that Christian conservatism is neither dead, as widely reported by the secular press, nor becoming more “moderate.” Rather, many strands of Christian conservative thinking are bro…

When Atheists Cry “Heresy!”: Sam Harris Condemns Obama Pick for NIH

By Eric Reitan

…ore the rich tradition of subtle thinking about it that has gone on for thousands of years. But I will say this: When you are dealing with whether there is far more to reality than meets the eye, you are dealing with the question of whether there is potential for the evils we encounter to be redeemed. Atheists look at the evils that afflict people in this lifetime and often think in the following terms: if this is the whole story, then these affli…

“Reason to Worry”: An Anti-Semitism Scholar Opens Up on Trump, Misogyny and the Future of Anti-Judaism

By Michael Schulson

…s amount to the equivalent of however many billion sightings. I think that number was inflated. But it doesn’t matter much. What’s the difference between ten billion views and, say, one billion views? It’s all bad. It’s just this question of magnitude. It’s a little bit like you’ve seen the tip of the iceberg, and someone tells “You know, 90% of it is underneath.” I had a similar experience when I was working on my first book, Communities of Viole…

Rick Warren and Homophobia in Africa

By Sarah Posner

…with Rwanda? The Archibishop of Uganda, Henry Luke Orombi, the Archibishop of Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya..etc all hold similar biblical positions on homosexuality. Our view about sex and marriage is purpose driven in glorifying God. Warren’s spokesperson told me the Warrens are still in contact with Orombi, who also supports the anti-gay law (but, according to Ssempa, not the death penalty provisions) but she didn’t know “the extent of the relationshi…

Are God and Aliens Compatible?

By Gabriel Mckee

…tter three years ago, and Vox Nova points us to a treatise by Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) that says essentially the same thing. Some of Funes’ comments, like his statement that “The Bible is not fundamentally a work of science,” are as old as Augustine. That’s not to mention the fact that, Vatican position aside, Funes isn’t speaking for the whole Church, and his statements in an interview are a far cry from a papal encyclical. His ideas are neve…

…r the devastation taking place in Southern Kordofan by referring to the refusal of the SPLM-North to lay down their arms to negotiate with Khartoum,” Smith observed. “But there is no moral equivalence between the SPLM-North’s actions and those of the government.” Phillips’ experience at the State Department did not surprise Jonathan Hutson, Director of Communications for the anti-genocide Enough Project of the Center for American Progress, who att…

Romney: Don’t Expect a Second Speech on Faith

By Joanna Brooks

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is studiously avoiding any contact with or comment on the presidential race, continuing instead with its multi-city, multimedia “I’m a Mormon” rebranding campaign. Who’s going to handle Romney’s Mormon issues? Does the campaign need surrogates who can strike back on the religion issue? Or will all of this religion hubbub fade into the background when America comes to terms with the truly sinisterer s…
