Which is the ‘Real’ Reality?: Doctor Who Part IV

…” Before long the full mystery unfolds: The Doctor and his companions are being tested by an impish alien called the Dream Lord, who has presented them with two realities to choose between. Which is real—idyllic life in an earthbound village (itself menaced by hidden aliens) or the more clearly perilous life on the TARDIS (which, of course, offers a sort of family life of its own)? Ah, but that twist—at the end of the episode we learn that neither…

Rev. Smith Goes to Washington

…Currie: There are different ways to serve as an advocate and to serve the community. Much of the time communities of faith address social issues through charity programs—and those kinds of programs are clearly needed. But our community desperately needs tax reform to stabilize human service and health care programs. Oftentimes such discussions are uncomfortable in a church atmosphere and so I’ve decided to [enter] this race because without such r…

First Draft Of History Today Could Be Fox News Promo Tomorrow

…to the Black Plague, the 9/11 attacks, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bloody Sunday, or even the Jonestown massacre, as commentator Pat Caddell told Sean Hannity. (Real classy.) Rather than have students learn anything about the actual details of the plan and whether it was successful at increasing health care coverage to millions of Americans, the board would no doubt want students to be taught how reform represented the Communist takeover of Amerik…

Ugandan Landslide a Message from God?

…ly half the population identifying as Catholic, and nearly the other half identifying as Protestant. So, it can’t be said that the devastating landslide in Bududa was caused by a failure to revere God. Could it be then, that this landslide has come as God’s wrath against a bill that singles out some of God’s children for special punishment simply for their existence? Could it be that God is telling Uganda that they are sinning against God by even…

Heroes: Sex and the Single Superhero

…the desert, Moses ventured to his mountaintop and the Buddha took his seat under the bodhi tree at times of profound social crisis. Now note, in these examples and in countless others close at hand, that heeding the hero’s call to departure entails severing or forgoing the bonds of traditional domestic life—a prospect that’s easier to contemplate if the longing for the social and sexual relationships of a householder is attenuated or absent in the…

The Myth of ‘Voodoo’: A Caribbean American Response to Representations of Haiti

…a shared sense of identity and the ritual/theological grammars required to guide their common life and transmission of humanity from one generation to the next. If God’s good nature is reflected in the slave trade, what was the Devil up to? American ignorance of Vodou beliefs and practices aside, I am befuddled by Robertson’s lack of reflection on what his tall tale of Haiti’s unpaved road to hell inevitably registers about the nature of the Chris…

Good Without God: The Ethics of Atheism

…th Religion Than Without It. Writers like these were trying to help people come to some understanding regarding our collective appreciation of the mysterious. In Good without God, Epstein illuminates the positive components of atheism by exploring the basic tenets and history of humanism. As a Christian, I appreciated Epstein’s gentle ability to guide me through his reasoning without insulting my own tradition—though he does cite religious leaders…

Bishop John Shelby Spong Declares Victory: Is it Premature?

…en they are no longer even tolerable. Falwell, of course, is not longer around to offer any opinions, but Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is still around to make a response: Bishop Spong clearly hopes that his new manifesto will bring all debate over homosexuality to an end. Not hardly. While the bishop’s manifesto is written in the language of bravado, it actually represents an intellectual posture of surren…

Purpose Driven Atheism: Secular Maharishis Seeking True Believers

…mple as giving up religious faith. If that’s all it took, the Soviet Union under Stalin or China under Mao would have been such nice places to live, and our largely secularized Ivy League universities would not be filled with backstabbing intellectuals ready to kill each other (metaphorically speaking) over who gets tenure. The Context of the New Atheist Crusade I suspect that the intensity of the New Atheists’ anti-religion crusade has less to do…

Why Was Suspicion Over “The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven” Ignored for Years?

…have known better. They should have had the spiritual discernment, wisdom, compassion, and intestinal fortitude to not sell a book which contains, along with all books like it, deep theological problems. Claiming that the book relies too much upon experiential wisdom at the expense of the Bible, they bemoan “how far we are willing to go outside the realm of scripture and accept [extra-biblical accounts] as having been from God.” They cite Alex’s v…
