I Was Wrong About Occupy

By Donna Schaper

…gical as they articulated a need for communal, inspirational, face-to-face contact in which they could “appear” to one another. Secondly, they talked about the nearly complete privatization of municipal public space in a way that made a deep and tragic sense. Where can you go if you don’t own something? Does a public even exist if it has no space? The great irony is that they have been called the virtual demonstration, and here they were talking a…

How Julian Assange Is Like A Televangelist

By Sarah Posner

…for Investigative Journalism reported, Matt Schroeder of the Federation of American Scientists, which itself has fought government secrecy, has concerns about WiliLeaks. As Schulz notes, “It’s no small matter that Schroeder and the non-partisan group he works for are criticizing Wikileaks. Manhattan Project scientists who designed the first atomic bombs founded FAS more than half-a-century ago.” With regard to WikiLeaks, Schroeder “argues the reco…

Surprises in Survey of Hispanics on Homosexuality

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…xuality proves anything, it’s that Hispanics are religious and that social contact with LGBT people influence them in much the same way it does the general population. Just as in white and black communities, there are traditionalists who won’t be convinced no matter what, fundamentalists who are heavily influenced by their clergy and their churches, and progressives who are socially integrated and far more accepting of LGBT people (and many who ev…

…lyptic race war. If Roof did not read The Turner Diaries, he certainly had contact with people who had. In the days after the attack on the A.M.E. Church, discussion focused on how Roof’s actions were related to a wider culture of racism, both in South Carolina and throughout American society. It seems that within the culture of racist apocalypticism there is a division of labor between dreamers and doers, prophets and martyrs. Numerous hate crime…

Are God and Aliens Compatible?

By Gabriel Mckee

…s the strongest statement of that attitude: “I look forward with horror to contact with the other inhabited planets, if there are such. We would only transport to them all of our sin and our acquisitiveness, and establish a new colonialism. I can’t bear to think of it. But if we on Earth were to get right with God, of course, all would be changed. Once we find ourselves spiritually awakened, we can go to outer space and take the good things with u…

Facebook Doesn’t Kill Churches, Churches Kill Churches

By Elizabeth Drescher

…not formed on Facebook, they were enriched by students’ continued digital contact. The problem with regard to churches and other religious communities (and we see this over and over again with Facebook group pages whose only visitors are the minister and the technophile parishioner who championed the church’s foray into the digital domain) seems to be that there’s not enough social to go around. That is, if church were, indeed, a robustly social…

Should NASA Have Given $1.1 Million to a Theology Institute?

By Michael Schulson

…itics/society/the economy/religion/etc. if NASA announced that it had made contact with an alien civilization, or at least had found some fossilized microbes on Mars? Other question are theory-oriented: how does the possibility of extraterrestrial life force people to think differently about sentience, human worth, the importance of Earth, or God? NASA seems to think these are serious concerns. “Astrobiology is expected to play a large part in fut…

Beyond Progressive Religion

By Ivan Petrella

…il end, however, because our religious diversity vanishes when it comes in contact with our political culture and process. We’ve become a country that actually requires its politicians to take openly Christian positions if they are to be successful, a country that sets up what I call “Christian litmus tests” for candidates running for office, a country that is unwilling to accept an agnostic, atheist, or non-Christian president. As David Domke and…

LaBarbera’s group is encouraging its members to contact the GOP’s new leader, Michael Steele, urging him to never, ever, under penalty of … well, a scolding, I suppose – and no more money from AFTAH – meet with those filthy, dastardly, gay Log Cabin Republicans – which boasts about 20,000…
