Teaching Love: Soulforce Takes it to the Quad

…re here basically trying to do the same thing to us. They’re wanting us to talk to them and our students to talk to them to try to get us to believe the way they do, but as an institution we have those beliefs in the Bible and we believe that it’s very clear on what it says about homosexual behavior. We didn’t feel it was necessary to allow them on campus to try to push something that was against what we believe.” Crook says he doesn’t know whethe…

The Obama Paradox: Civility vs. Capitulation?

…e of civility. At the same time, without something more substantive, civil talk is simply that—talk. Civility, in contrast to empty rhetoric, is cultivated in pursuit of a moral end, whether that end is a classic notion of the common good, national security, or a sustainable economy. As a means to a moral goal, civility is capable of speaking tough words, but it does so with the humility necessary to reach a principled compromise. The virtue of hu…

Growing up Duggar: Its All About Relationships is the third book in the reality TV family’s publishing arsenal, but it’s the first book written by the Duggar daughters, Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger.

Why All the Silly Devil Talk Should be Taken Seriously

MC Hammer recently released a video “Better Run Run” [see below] where he insinuates that Jay-Z worships the devil. But this is more than just regular rap beef, one artist’s put-down of another. If you know where to look, the internet is awash in conspiracy theories about pop culture icons (Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, etc.) and their affiliations with evil. The usual suspects, a crowd of virtual vigilantes, inc…

“Reason to Worry”: An Anti-Semitism Scholar Opens Up on Trump, Misogyny and the Future of Anti-Judaism

…happened in a tiny town in the middle of the mountains. They probably were talking about it as a massacre in order to justify the fines on the populace. You might say it’s like people talking about anti-Semitism in order to justify fundraising. On my last day of research in this archive, I came across one scrap of 14th century paper which said that dozens of people—300 or so, I think—were killed in the village. It even described how some were drag…

Jesus Went to Hell, But Nobody Wants to Talk About It

“It was Saturday that Jesus Christ went to Hell.” This is one phrase that Christians, whether mainline or evangelical, Catholic or Protestant, will likely not hear from the pulpit this week. And yet the story of Christ’s descent to the underworld has deep roots in tradition. The fourth century Apostle’s Creed tells us that following his crucifixion, but before his resurrection, Jesus “descended to the dead.” The Athanasian Creed of at least a cen…

If Apes Could Talk to Atheists

For centuries, a dominant majority of Western philosophers and intellectuals have asserted that humans are the “rational animal.” Our ability to reason, so the logic goes, is the one thing separating us from the plethora of other animals on the planet. Instinct, passion, and emotion, traditionally assigned to the animal side of life, often meant that being “good”—being the sort of human who behaves morally—required a removal of the animal or “bea…

Yes, Let’s Talk About Kermit Gosnell

Kermit Gosnell is on trial in Philadelphia, charged with eight counts of murder at his grisly abortion clinic. The Associated Press covered the opening proceedings of a trial expected to last eight weeks. A New York Times reporter was also present when the trial opened. His story appeared on page A17, which apparently wasn’t prominent enough for conservatives who are complaining that the media is under-covering the story because, as Charles Kraut…

A Note to Megyn Kelly & NBC: How to Talk About Conspiracy Theories

It looks like Megyn Kelly’s interview with Alex Jones will go forward on NBC this weekend. I am sympathetic to those who think this mainstream exposure will help to legitimize Jones but, at the same time, as an ethnographer I have often made the case for studying people whose views are abhorrent. In fact, I showed a clip from Jones’ show in my class last term. The validity of NBC’s choice will depend, in some measure, on the context with which th…

“The Lord’s Standard of Morality” Promotes LDS Rape Culture

…with sexual violence. Callister would probably recoil at the idea that his talk not merely enables but encourages the mistreatment and devaluation of women, but it does. When women talk about inequality in the church, they’re not just referring to the fact that men have the priesthood and women don’t, that men have opportunities and encouragement to practice the supposedly divine activities of leading, deciding and governing, while women are encou…
