By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…on activism in general, and by whom. A point of comparison might be the now-infamous Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia physician who allegedly performed abortions under fraudulent and negligently unsafe conditions, prescribed painkillers illegally, restrained patients against their will, and is now charged with eight counts of murder based on accusations that he killed babies delivered alive. Not that it’s worthwhile to compare the men’s actions—fo…

Will God-Gaming Alter the Bible?

By Rachel Wagner

…hite and Fable, which directly encourage such a perspective taking a tongue-in-cheek jab at traditional religion. In The Bible Online these issues are somewhat more confused, complicated by your dual identity as God (through control of wealth and resources) and as his patriarchs (through specific role-play). Perhaps, though, we’ll find that players’ ability to control resources is thwarted by divine intervention within the game’s algorithms. Perha…

By Rachel Wagner

…Wailing Wall has recently been constructed in Second Life, the popular user-built online virtual “world.” The creator of the virtual Wailing Wall, “Xanadu,” explains that the digital wall, “is a peaceful spot to sit and grieve, pray, meditate, or comfort a friend.

The Case for Treating Near-Death Experiences Like Acid Trips

By Andrew Aghapour

…s. I spoke recently with Mitchell-Yellin about the physiology of death, out-of-body denture spotting, and why LSD trips are helpful for thinking about near-death experiences. _______________ Andrew Aghapour: In your book you take on “supernaturalist” accounts of near-death experiences, which emphasize elements of NDE’s that should be physically impossible. Could you tell me more about supernaturalism as a genre? Benjamin Mitchell-Yellin: Supernatu…

Should Faith Healing ‘Do Business’ with Modern Medicine?

By Beatrice Marovich

…commerce. Often, religion and medicine are obligated to do business by the patient herself. Patients, who walk into a doctor’s office with concrete religious practices habituated into their daily lives, with myths and stories crawling under their skin, bring religion and medicine together whether these disparate disciplines want them to or not. Patients have been the primary cause of what Harrington calls medicine’s “imperfectly secularized” natur…

The Third Jihad, Adelson, and Gingrich

By Sarah Posner

…of information request, we now know that the NYPD not only showed the anti-Muslim film The Third Jihad to officers, but showed it on a continuous loop. Muslim groups are calling for the resignation of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who gave an interview to the film, and his spokesperson, Paul Browne, who first said the filmmakers used footage of Kelly without his knowledge, and later changed his story to admit that he had recommended Kelly partic…

Religious Freedom Org Sticking By Trump Clinging to SCOTUS Nominations

By Sunnivie Brydum

…and national level. And both have a decidedly anti-LGBT agenda. The Orlando-based organization might not have the massive financial backing of the ADF, but it’s clear the two groups share an ideological mission, and it’s hard not to see that Liberty Counsel hopes to grow up to be as influential as ADF. In fact, Liberty Counsel has proudly taken credit for the proliferation of transphobic “bathroom bills” in legislatures across the country, despite…

By Frederick Clarkson

…state. RD: Many are rightly concerned about rise of white supremacist, anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim bigotry. But your experience suggests that many white Christians may not be as safe as they may think. After being smeared as anti-faith on Fox, you wrote on Facebook that you “Came home from church this morning to a vile, obscene voice message attacking me for hating religion. Also, several angry emails and Twitter messages attacking me as anti-reli…

Resurrection of ‘Comstock Laws’ Would Threaten Access to Abortifacients — But Even That Fear Misses Bigger Picture

By Gillian Frank

…t in most cases, women sought to terminate unwanted pregnancies by the tens-of-thousands. Some sought out illegal providers. Others self-aborted. The danger of both was evident in the existence of septic wards devoted to treating botched abortions. One of these was at Cook County’s Public hospital on Chicago’s West Side. It was a 40-bed ward, often filled to capacity, devoted to women injured from illegal abortions. One doctor who did his rotation…

Welcome to the Shari’ah Conspiracy Theory Industry

By Sarah Posner

…uslim organizations fall into lock-step with it, stems solely from a single 20-year-old document written by a single Brotherhood member in 1991. In the controversial terrorism financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation, which first resulted in a mistrial in 2007, and convictions in a 2008 re-trial, federal prosecutors introduced a document, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.” Gaffney and other…
