By Haroon Moghul

…been a loser as a political candidate. His political party, Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf, has yet to win any major political seats (although that could change with the upcoming May elections.)

By Kathryn Lofton

…discovery that celebrities are “just like US!” Even within this din of come-to-Jesus moments, McCain’s story is discordant, failing to supply some of the basic ingredients for a ritual confession of faith. It includes no mention of God (or Christ) as an actor in his life or even in that dirt-drawn moment.

McCain had made some claims about a born-again experience, and he allied himself with the “Christian faith.” Yet there seemed something missing in the middle of this talk.

God Grows Up: Robert Wright’s Evolution of God

By Robert Wright

…e’s something to be said for encouraging book browsers to pick up the damn book and open it in order to figure out what it’s about.
