Thoughts from the “Bad Hombre” Debate

By Candace E. West

…emocracy look like on the other side of this election? It seems clear, at least, that our Trump hangover will be with us long beyond November. Trump has virtually no chance of winning, but after months of decrying “the media” and “the system” as rigged, he used the final debate as an opportunity to announce that he’ll have to decide, when the time comes, whether or not he’ll honor the results of the election. Let that sink in. Now remember that it…

By Peter Montgomery

…i-nu (尤美女) that would neutralize the gender-based Article 972 of the Civil Code, which stipulates that a marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman. Yu’s amendment would remove the “man and woman” provision from the article and recognize marriage as an agreement between “two parties,” a contentious point between supporters and opponents of the marriage equality legislation. However, to reduce opposition to the legislation, DPP Legislator J…

The Hypocrisy in Protests against Ultra-Orthodox in Israel

By Shaul Magid

…—often more adroitly than their modern counterparts. In his Mishneh Torah (Code of Law), Maimonides explicitly advocated the position that women should stay mostly in their homes. The kabbalistic literature now so popular in modern Israel is in many ways worse. We have evidence that in the heyday of Safed in the sixteenth century a “council for rectifying sins” (va’ad le tikun avonot) was established to seek out and corporally punish those who wer…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…This moved swiftly into the revision of Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code in 1935, which “would amount to a death sentence for gay men,” according to historian Andrea Carlo. The banning of books on the LGBTQIA+ experience and the closing of libraries; the legislation and platforms against transgender healthcare and LGBTQIA+ rights; these all draw from that playbook. All of these components–physical assaults, book banning, and legislation–are…

Bonnaroo 3: With a Buzz in Our Ears

By E. David Morgen

…performers that we don’t know well, and then end up near the front for at least a few of those whom we do. This year, though, things have been different. Thanks to this fine publication, we sport blue media wristbands that give us entrée into backstage viewing areas for some, though not all, of the shows. So we have been able to pop back and forth between the tents in order to see the acts that interested us the most—Iron and Wine, Vampire Weekend…

Beck Botches Social Justice

By Daniel Schultz

…it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, the idea, hang on, am I advising people to leave their church… yes!… If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish.” And the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good responded. Beck needs to get out more. I don’t know about the Book of Mormon, but here are just a few of the Bible verses concerning the poor and believer’s…

Soccer and the Sublime in the Shadow of Apartheid

By Preston Davis

…also be pedestrian, taking place year-round on every continent, every zip code. It is a game, proven by its global appeal, which defies socioeconomic standing. Therein lies further emphasis of the World Cup’s importance, too: the world stage. Marxism has long been called the world’s secular religion, but a football fan knows economic ideology pales in comparison to the world’s devotion to football. John Carlin of Time magazine is right when he sa…

Romney not Precisely Familiar with Questioning Obama’s Faith, but Stands By It

By Sarah Posner

…ould be a nation of religious tolerance. Also, without question, the legal code in this country is based upon Judeo-Christian values and teachings, Biblical teachings, and for the president not to understand that a wide array of religions and a conviction that Judeo-Christian philosophy is an integral part of our foundation is really an extraordinary thing. I think again that the president takes his philosophical leanings in this regard, not from…

On the 20th Anniversary of Waco

By Kate Blanchard

…rly Christian disciples and martyrs. But, conveniently for most of us (at least in the West), we need not make ourselves emotionally or physically vulnerable in the same way the first followers did. Buddhists, Muslims, Latter-Day Saints, and now even Unification Church members can also, like Christians, take comfort in the fact that their founders can no longer disappoint or embarrass them. Increasingly covered by ever-thickening layers of time, t…

Racial Justice and Queer Masculinity: The Gospel of Frank Ocean

By Josiah Daniels

…iptures, Job cries, There are those who snatch the orphan child from the breast, and take as a pledge the infant of the poor. They go about naked, without clothing; though hungry, they carry the sheaves; […] From the city the dying groan, and the throat of the wounded cries for help; yet God pays no attention to their prayer. Considering the name of the track, a Job-like bleakness permeates Ocean’s “Nights” where he cries, Shooters killing left an…
