By Lauri Lebo

…e made in the committee hearing on the bill last week. “If you look at the code, these codes are dealing with illegal acts. Now, abortion is a legal act. So this has got nothing to do with abortion.” Here is the bill in its entirety: FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to provide for the protection of certain unborn children. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA: Section 1. Th…

In its Battle for ‘Life’ the Antiabortion Movement is Willing to Expose its Enemies to Death — And There’s an Old Christian Theology that Supports Them

By Beatrice Marovich

…antiabortion activists. The bill, HB 3549, seeks to amend the state’s law code so that an abortion would be treated as a homicide by the state’s judicial system, which could make the death penalty a potential consequence. It would be difficult to interpret this as anything other than an embrace of the death-dealing dimensions of forced birth politics. What’s going on? Why would a movement that seeks to “preserve life” be so ready to embrace death…

RDGenerations: Youth and Liberal Religion

By Lucia Hulsether

…p structure. Of course, you can’t blame groups like this for being wary of new volunteers. M: That’s true, especially considering how the Reagan Administration paid spies to infiltrate the Sanctuary Movement. But if they depend on volunteers and recruit them…? L: The cliquishness was not the only problem. The leadership structure seemed almost nonexistent (supposedly it was consensus-based, but volunteers were out of the loop). This blocked opport…

Is Michelle Obama Out of Line?

By Tamura Lomax

…reotypes. Finally, Obama is grievously out of line for violating the tacit code of silence that plagues our country on issues of race, racism, and slavery. Many believe that it is politically incorrect to talk publicly about America’s perennial sins (both past and present) or to speak of America as anything but “the promised land,” or the fabled “City upon a Hill.” This includes bringing up any of America’s contradictions, such as the construction…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…nel, “videos to make your noggin get bigger,” contains several videos that promote 9/11 trutherism and COVID-19 conspiracy theories. There is a video that features Richard Gage, the founder of the conspiracy group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, speculating about the financial benefactors from the Twin Towers’ collapse. The theme of an evil new world order run by craven elites is extended in the next verse: I wish politicians would look o…

Listening and Supporting: The Spirituality of Nurses

By Wendy Cadge

…ning) than on religion, defined in terms of religious institutions. Ethics codes, like the Code of Ethics for Nurses of the American Nurses Association, emphasize the importance of patients’ spiritual well-being and the NANDA International, which develops language around nursing diagnoses, recognizes three diagnoses related to spirituality and spiritual distress. In medical and broader public discourse about religion, spirituality, and medicine, i…

The Secret History of Easter

By Joseph Laycock

…o-Indo-European dawn goddesses (Any and all citations are from Wikipedia). New Testament scholars have noted that since The DaVinci Code became a cultural phenomenon, there’s been a surge of conspiratorial claims about Jesus, the early church, and the influence of Pagan mystery religions. Authors such as Craig Evans and Bart Ehrman have written with bewilderment at the revival of “mythicist” theories of Jesus and “nineteenth-century philosophical…

Islamic Intellectual Leadership at a Crossroads

By Amina Wadud

…comprehensive affect of their mutual intellectual cooperation. This bred a new paradigm, for the time (which some mistakenly think we need to revert to in order to go forward at this juncture in history). Yeah, I know you know the bylines about Islamic philosophers who revived, preserved, and further developed Aristotelian and Hellenistic philosophical traditions; or about Arab and Muslim medical treatises that led the world until modern medicine;…

One of These Things is Not Like the Other: Religion and the Obama Campaign

…dency, signaling the possibility of different coalitions, the emergence of new and different “religious” issues, and different ways of imagining the relationship between religion and politics in the United States. In short, religion no longer “belongs” to the political right (if it ever really did—Waldman was right about that), but it is a matter worth puzzling over, this question of the Illinois Senator’s religiosity, the question of why the only…

‘I Don’t Buy It’: The Gospel According to Frank Underwood

By Cathleen Falsani

…and addresses us, the television audience: Truth be told, I never really knew him or what his dreams were. He was quiet, timid, almost invisible. My mother didn’t think much of him. My mother’s mother hated him. The man never scratched the surface of life. Maybe it’s best he died so young. He wasn’t doing much but taking up space. But that doesn’t make for a very powerful eulogy, now, does it? Like so many politicians, Frank uses faith as a ploy…
