…n Cameroon aged 24. …“This is a fight for human rights. Its does not pit African traditions against western traditions or the colonised against colonisers. Africa has the same universal values and belongs to humanity. It is not separate, and neither is Cameroon,” she said. Nkom, says international support is vital. “Diplomacy has a very important role to play because … if I did not have the backing of United Nations member states … I would possibl…

…nothings in God’s ear, beseeching him to fill me with his holy spirit.

The Demographic that Should Keep Rove Awake at Night

By Katherine Stewart

…ian senator. Some on the right could scarcely believe that this is what America really wants. “Millions of Americans looked evil in the eye and adopted it,” wrote Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver in his post-election commentary. He has a point—except that, for the majority of Americans, the “evil” they looked in the eye was the one they rejected on November 6. Others on the right, like the Rev. Dr. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist…

Religious Right Panic: “Anarchy” will Result if DADT is Repealed

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…about rampant sex and religious liberty with over-the-top rhetoric: No American, especially those serving in the armed forces, should be required to check their religion at the door. The agenda that is pushing the repeal of this legislation (the agenda of sexual liberty and anarchy) does not mix with religious freedom—they are like oil and water. The question we should be asking ourselves is whether you would tell somebody putting themselves in h…

Supreme Court OKs State Funding Scheme for Religious Schools and Bars Challenges

By Peter Laarman

…ayer of my persuasion (we’ll call her Petra from Yuma) finds using the tax code to benefit such schools offensive to the First Amendment. In the past, Petra from Yuma could go into court to challenge the tax credit as a form of state-subsidized religion. But Petra (or a Thomas Jefferson redivivus, for that matter) is now out of luck. The core issue is whether providing the tax credit has the exact same practical impact as simply giving tax revenue…

…o tried to silence Rhea County schoolteacher John Scopes for teaching evolution in 1925, by limiting even an objective discussion of the scientific strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory,” Fowler wrote last month in an op–ed in the Chattanoogan. But “strengths and weaknesses” are merely code words to try to water down the teaching of evolution. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, has issued a statement against the bil…

2012 Presidential Hopefuls: God Game is On

By Sarah Posner

…ed into the “founding principles,” “Judeo-Christian” foundation, and other code, but they did more. They wept; they told stories about soldiers and family members; they evoked imagery of mountains climbed and enemies vanquished. Mitt Romney, though? Not so much. Speaking directly after Pence, who since the inaugural Values Voters Summit in 2006, has always invoked the language of the religious right base, Romney was at a disadvantage. He was borin…

Devil’s Bookmark: Doubting God’s Existence, but Angry Nevertheless

By Bernard Schweizer

…literally a doubting Thomas. Much of Wood’s narrative concerns the tension between these two antagonists. But it is a milder tension than the intense frustration that informs the work of disappointed misotheists like Zora Neale Hurston and Rebecca West—both of whom reflexively equated their father’s betrayal of them with God’s abandonment of humanity. By contrast, Tom genuinely loves his father; he just finds him to be a bit pathetic and tiresome…

Satan, Contributor to Teen Vogue‘s New “Sodomy” Section?

By Mark D. Jordan

…s against concealed aversion as well. Anal intercourse often operates as a code for male-male sex. Adults now living in the U.S. should have figured out that gay men are not the only people having anal sex. They may even know that not all gay men like anal intercourse or choose to engage in it. Still, no small part of the reaction to the Teen Vogue article is animated by fear of that great bugbear of “conservative” Christian ethics—namely, male ho…

Why White Women Are Leading Defenders of Kavanaugh

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ral character. Even respectable white women like Ford must comply with the code of silence protecting toxic masculinity. The demonization of Ford by the right is yet another indication of how low the GOP faithful are willing to go to gut human and civil rights. As ReproAction Network has noted, Kavanaugh’s repugnant record on women’s rights puts him in lockstep with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. His well-documented, insidious appellate co…
