By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…nt daughter Eden, Mark and Cheryl want to make sure they know her friends. Particularly Frankie, who is a friend from Olivia’s party days. (I confess I tensed my jaw a bit during the scene when Frankie and Mark discuss their concern for Olivia’s welfare, referring to her in the third person when she’s sitting right there.) After the dinner, Frankie leaves Olivia a sweet voicemail, leading her to wonder whether maybe she’s ready to date again. But…

Safety Not Guaranteed

By Jeanne Carstensen

…I walk down 10th Street toward the river, I read the signs of the water’s path: parked cars askew in the street, on the sidewalk; flooded basement after flooded basement; ribbons of detritus strewn in patterns that look like the banks of a rushing stream. As if it had been following the outlines of the map the flood stopped just short of Avenue B, not touching our Orange side of the street. * Zooming in, zooming out—calculating the odds. It gave…

…ren,”—the Haitian name for the Yoruba sea goddess Yemaja. The ceremony was partly to apologize to the goddess for damage caused by the BP oil spill of 2010, and partly to seek her guidance in finding better forms of water management. Unlike private services like blessings and divination, invoking La Siren for a symposium on water management is an eminently social and even political act. Glassman explained, “As a priestess, it’s my work to bring ba…

By Lauri Lebo

…t morning. At 8:59, the space shuttle, taking a detour due to bad weather, passed over Belize on the way to Kennedy Space Center. By the time the sonic boom reached our ears four minutes later, the shuttle was two minutes from landing. This must be what it feels like to be a creationist. Science continues to race ahead, making strides in mapping the history of our origins and outlining the myriad ways we are connected to all life. Meanwhile, creat…

…n by Lebanese authorities in 2013. But Sinno has struggled to process this painful ordeal: He wasn’t prepared for his fans to come under attack, too. “For a couple days after, I really started to question everything we’ve been doing for the last 10 years,” Sinno says, speaking by phone from a recent tour stop in San Francisco. “A big part of what we do and why we address politics and gender and class and whatever – be that through our music and th…

By Lauri Lebo

…te’s disingenuous attacks on evolution education, so I’m not sure why this particular post has gotten them so hot and bothered. First, David Klinghoffer had a bit of a snit on DI’s Evolution News last week over the issue of peer-reviewed intelligent design research—a topic I’ll revisit soon. This week, DI fellow and spokesman John West is upset over the fact that I didn’t appropriately credit those at Discovery for their creationist tactics. West…

By Andre Tartar

…years, other personal rules also fell by the wayside. I began signing off phone calls with Paz de Cristo (Peace of Christ), and exclaiming Graças a Deus (Thanks be to God) when celebrating life’s good fortunes. Though Jesus’ divinity remains a mystery to me, I became increasingly comfortable wishing to others the Peace I knew they’d found in Christ. More than once, I felt an all-too-spiritual tingle as I crescendo-ed in collective song. During ch…

Why Are We Drawn to Horror?

By Mathias Clasen

They had the right idea. It is snappy. I like it. How do you feel about the cover? I love the cover. I took that picture myself (with my cell phone), and the press did a great job with the layout. The picture is of a hallway in Dystopia Haunted House, a big h…

Similarly, General Wallnau told another gathering at Vida Church, on March 26, 2024 (translated into Spanish by Pastor Benjamin Diaz) that while evangelists will also target other swing states and wage the spiritual “War over America,” the ground game will also be critical…
