…I PROMISE. MAY GOD BE BESIDE YOU AS YOU STAND FOR EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS PLANET, ESPECIALLY ALSO FOR 1ST WORLD AUSTRALIA, SHARING IN YOUR OPPRESSION SO MUCH, -AND EVEN MORE SO!” The reference to crusaders, to striking evil forces, is very close to an active call for violence.

Only 5 Million “Real” Catholics in the U.S.?

…ion year when the other candidates promise to eviscerate the social safety net. And now the Vatican is going after the sisters. The pollsters had better gear up, because the number of Americans identifying with—and funding—the institutional church is definitely at risk.

Grassroots Faith: The Lessons of The Social Gospel

…mple, was the social gospel’s primary objective to cast a wide ideological net to create a broad coalition of secular and religious leaders, or was it to identify itself with specific economic and political policies?

…touted by Jerome Corsi, the conspiratory theorist and contributor to World Net Daily who co-authored the book of Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry in 2004, and whose 2008 book Obama Nation was filled with falsehoods about the then-presidential candidate. Corsi is also a notorious birther. Gallups, as documented by Richard Bartholomew last summer, previously produced a video, “Jesus Saw Satan as Baraq Ubamah,” and opined that the gulf oil spill was…

…ts, beliefs, or teachings, and any policies or decisions related to such tenets, beliefs, or teachings.” (A later section of the bill specifically shields religious institutions from the effects of losing accreditation for reasons related to mission.)

Ponzi Schemes and Prophecy

…believes Social Security needs to be saved, that it’s an important safety net for Americans who have paid into it all their lives.” Perry did not invent the Ponzi scheme analogy for Social Security; back in 1995, economist James Glassman (he who wrongly predicted that the Dow would hit 36,000) opined that Social Security was like a “Ponzi scheme” in the service of his argument that it should be privatized. (His failed prognostications on the robu…

…“unaffiliated” category will benefit the most from the “switchers” with a net gain of 61.5 million, many of them men and women who formerly identified as Christian. But by 2050 the “unaffiliated” are expected to comprise an older (and less fertile) demographic that won’t be able to welcome new folks to their team fast enough to sustain that kind of growth in the long term, according to the report.

Hitchens Debates Conservative Evangelical: Nothing Happens

…uting “missed again!” every time a new atheist kicks one straight into the net. But I think this analogy tells us more about the current state of the so-called “God debates” than it does about anything else. It seems to me that far too many people treat these debates as a zero-sum competition. Hitchens and Wilson are eager to play that game—and, like sports rivals, they can enjoy authentic camaraderie off the playing field. Winning the Argument, L…
