Romney Banking on Trump’s Birthers Pulling Him Over Finish Line

By Sarah Posner

…nd there is a very big group of people who really understand the Koran far better than I do. I’m certainly not an expert, to put it mildly. But there’s something there that teaches some very negative vibe. I mean things are happening, when you look at people blowing up all over the streets that are in some of the countries over in the Middle East, just blowing up a super market with not even soldiers, just people, when 250 people die in a super ma…

Why South Korea (and the US) Use Amusement Parks to Push Creationism

By Andrew Aghapour

…public campaigns by the creationist movement in South Korea. In 2008, for example, the Korea Association for Creation Research created an exhibition at a popular South Korean amusement park which, they claim, attracted more than 116,000 visitors in three months. More recently, the STR began an effort to publically contest evolutionary theory by highlighting scientific discord over the lineage of particular species, such as Archaeopteryx. Nature no…

The End of Michele Bachmann?

By Sarah Posner

…s in the United States is a fabrication. For her proof, Bachmann cites an exhibit from the US government’s prosecution in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing case. Here’s what I wrote about that exhibit, and that case, over a year ago: This claim that the Muslim Brotherhood’s aim is a worldwide theocracy, and that all American Muslim organizations fall into lock-step with it, stems solely from a single 20-year-old document written by a singl…

Liberal Intolerance, Or, an Occasion for Public Theology

By Byron Williams

…ut there are troublesome moments within the human condition where a chasm exists between our vaunted claims of tolerance and the inconvenience of praxis, where we are forced to reconcile the tension that our ideals are more moral than our actions. Those of us who subscribe to a liberal orthodoxy wish to believe that intolerance is somehow beyond our moral sphere. But the challenge presented by orthodoxy of any variety is the failure to see humanit…

By Peter Montgomery

…h; Eat properly; and Get Rest. Other rules caution against harmful drugs, excessive drinking, and sexual promiscuity. Two chapters are devoted to the Golden Rule, stated both positively and negatively (“Try not to do to things to others that you would not like them to do to you”). Some chapters are straightforward: Do Not Murder. Others get a bit more complicated. Chapter 9, “Don’t Do Anything Illegal,” warns that doing something illegal can open…

Well, It Would Have Been a Good Religion Question…

…rbing the public peace according to regulation 201 A4 of the Israeli legal code. The punishment for this crime is six months in prison. They also broke regulation 287A by performing a religious act that ‘offends the feelings of others.’ The punishment for this crime is up to two years in prison.” After her arrest last week, Hoffman told the Forward’s Debra Nussbaum Cohen: “I was saying Sh’ma Israel and arrested for it. It’s just unbelievable,” she…

The Demographic that Should Keep Rove Awake at Night

By Katherine Stewart

…they’re clearly the most feared subcategory. When atheists support same-sex marriage, for example, it’s not because they don’t believe in marriage, it’s because they believe in love and commitment. When they insist on removing creationism from public school curricula, it’s because they believe in the power of science and reason to improve the human condition. And if one should really need proof that atheists are as moral as any other group, they…

Do Not Have Sex with This Man

By Sarah Sentilles

…rt families in concrete ways. He’s talking about a “more family-friendly tax code.” He wants the government to pay people to procreate. It’s a “big government” Republicans can get behind—a “baby government.” Though women of childbearing age are the people Douthat wants to get busy getting pregnant, he doesn’t talk about women very much—or the social, physical, and financial costs women still pay for having kids. Douthat blames women without talkin…

Why I’m Grateful for 2012, The Rapture, and other Millennial Delusions

By Jay Michaelson

…significance is not support for communities of color or fairness in the tax code, but rather alignment with cosmic forces of enlightenment, it makes some sense. Post-millennial lefties tend to be really scary, or really wacky, or both. In pop culture, they inhabit films like Fight Club or the latest Batman flick: utopian idealists who will use any means, including violence, to bring about the transformation they seek. In practice, though, they te…

HHS Issues Proposed Rule Expanding Religious Exemption for Contraception Coverage

By Sarah Posner

…widely expanding the universe of organizations that would qualify for the exemption. The exemption does not apply to for-profit companies, some of whom have sued the Obama administration, claiming that the coverage requirement violates their religious freedom. For organizations who do not qualify for the exemption, but still do not want to provide coverage, the proposed rule would require them work with insurers to provide separate contraception c…
