By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…o-life, conservative state. Senator Crain’s office did not return repeated phone calls, but according to The Daily Beast, he “said the bill is simply a statement that Oklahoma is ‘pro-life.’” Senate Pro Tem Brian Bingman said much the same thing, according to Reuters, offering that “Oklahoma is a conservative pro-life state—we are proud to stand up for what we know is right.” Well, yes, it feels very good to be proud of things, doesn’t it? Might I…

Lila Rose Targets Planned Parenthood with Lies

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…in to bring about a greater good. That point was made in oh, say, the 1968 papal encyclical reaffirming the Catholic Church’s ban on artificial birth control. “Neither is it valid to argue,” the encyclical states, “that a lesser evil is to be preferred to a greater one… [I]t is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it[.]” (Humanae Vitae II.14) Awkward.

By Luis Amate Perez

…other projects he has in the pipeline. As he told it, one day Frank and a partner “did statistics on Christian numbers” and decided that it was a huge market to tap into. According to Frank, in their first year alone (2008), they did over $250,000 in sales, and the J.D.T. line is only growing. In February the New York Times published R.M. Schneiderman’s article “Flock Is Now a Fight Team in Some Ministries” about the “growing number of evangelica…

Thank You Breitbart, For The Islam

By Haroon Moghul

…ent, and describe the dissension that appears to be tearing the Republican Party apart, between “establishment conservatives” and younger, more radical voices. But what’s neat about these essays is also that they offer us a window into how the authors see other identities, including my own. There are several mentions of Islam or Muslims in Bokhari and Yiannopoulos’ essay, two of which I quote here because of the deeper meaning revealed by these in…

By Sara Tillinger Wolkenfeld

…a human-made tool designed to make life easier. Yet much like AI today it sparked panic.

According to this section of the Talmud, it was forbidden to write down any religious teaching outside of the text of the Bible. And yet, despite the clear prohibition articulated in this passage, some…

By Sarah Posner

…oung former aide in the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and has barely registered a ripple in coverage of the campaign. Until the bitter end, of course, when, less than two weeks before election day, we learn that President Obama might be—wait for it—evangelical. Dutifully chronicled by CNN’s Belief Blog editor, Dan Gilgoff, the story is three parts recycled Obama-prays-with-Kirbyjon Caldwell-and-T.D.-Jakes reports…

Facebook: Internet Highway to Hell

By Anthea Butler

…become the latest “sinful” activity. Perhaps Rev. Miller should get on the phone to Sarah Palin, and counsel her about her kids’ activity on Facebook. Bristol Palin found time from her “Dancing with the stars” practice to get on Facebook with her sister Willow to ride on a friend who had the chutzpah to say “Sarah Palin’s Alaska is failing so hard right now.” Willow’s response was to call the poster a gay slur, and Bristol jumping in the fray to r…

The Abandoned Orphanage: Hillary Clinton’s Mother Teresa Moment

By Jeff Sharlet and Kathryn Joyce

…onaries of Charity chapters is to place the “spiritual well-being” of poor patients above their physical condition, secretly baptizing dying patients while refusing to use their abundant financial resources to deliver life-saving medical treatment. We wanted to ask Teresa’s organization why they’d flipped the property, and whether they’d ever had the proper medical facilities in place for an orphanage. But when we knocked on the door to the DC Mis…

…Elected President” and felt the pandemonium of celebration around me. The palpable energy that had until that moment felt like an undercurrent became a gushing waterfall, some of which seemed to be making its way through to my phone. I received a swarm of text messages and emails from different people I know across the country, arriving almost simultaneously: This is the best moment in my lifetime, politically. Shout out to the ancestors who r re…

God Dissolves into the Occupy Movement

By Nathan Schneider

…hat are prone to gravitate to this movement. Folks like myself who want to participate and help will not tolerate the kind of disrespect of a noted Civil Rights leader, even if it wasn’t deliberate. Still, I am 100% down with the Occupy movement. Every movement will have its growing pains, and this was one of them. There have been other racial incidents, including here in Philadelphia. I hope these growing pains will not hamper the momentum of a m…
