By Devin Kuhn-Choi

…an ad in a local shop or community center. Last minute emergency? Call the airline right away to see about possibilities for accommodating your needs. Likewise, if one is ardently anti-abortion for moral reasons, rather than only focus on making it illegal, prevent it by limiting unwanted pregnancies: help ensure adequate, healthy sex education and contraception are available to those who need or want them.

Penn Jillette’s Signs You May Already Be an Atheist

By Steve A. Wiggins

…he book is very loosely structured on the Ten Commandments, each with a rewording from Jillette’s unique perspective. That having been noted, the book does not focus on the question of god’s existence; instead it is full of anecdotes from the author’s life—some quite moving—that help to explain why he can’t countenance the existence of god. “Up Your Santa Claus Lane,” which describes Jillette’s response to his mother’s death, cannot fail to move….

By Kent L. Brintnall

…while only 42.2% of positive portrayals occurred on scripted programs. According to the Council this showed that “Hollywood” (the metonym for those writing those religion-negative scripts) was hostile toward organized religion whereas ordinary Americans (those generating the “reality” of unscripted series) “enthusiastically endorse religious belief.” How this finding is to be squared with another report from the Council that characterized reality…

The Religious Implications of Nudity

By Steve A. Wiggins

…ance-enhancing drugs. The sense of freedom and fun (and free food, even if airline food) was exhilarating. The airport has now become a place of horror. Do they have full-body scanners? I wonder as I’m herded into a long, bovine line. Abattoir or boudoir? Why is this bothering me so much? Don’t Touch Me There Even cursory reflection reveals my embodiment issues are buried deep in my religious upbringing. I was a teenage fundamentalist. That remark…

By Kara Loewentheil

…h ultra-Orthodox men interfering in your travel, you can just take another airline. If only it were as easy for female employees affected by the numerous lawsuits against the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive coverage requirement to find a better job. *Correction: This post originally indicated that gender separation was due to concerns about women’s menstrual cycles.

An Architect Reimagines the Synagogue as Ark, Shelter, Floating Fortress

By Kathryn Joyce

…s write the commentaries. As long as you have the original, authoritarian words, things can be reborn healthfully.” Friedman’s fourth synagogue, Dalet, likewise interprets the letter’s meaning of “door,” and its associations with poverty, humility and selflessness. Friedman’s inspiration for Dalet is tinged with anger from his participation in the City Council of Glen Cove at the time of the 1990 Avianca airline crash in the nearby Long Island tow…

‘Have a Blessed Day’ May Not Be a Sign of Christian Nationalism, But it’s Not Innocuous Either

By Chrissy Stroop

…ngers with “salaam aleikum” rather than “have a blessed day,” we’d be having a very different discussion now—one most likely involving threats of Islamophobic violence and perhaps violence itself, as well as severe backlash against the airline. Christians, in other words, retain a highly privileged place in the American social hierarchy, and it seems to be that our best option for achieving a functional democratic future is to call out and work to…

Does War Make Sense? Science and Religion on the Battlefield

By Nathan Schneider

…reigns over every battlefield), the challenge of warfare has been to lend order to chaos. There is a war within every war, one pitting the ballet of orderly abstractions against the scrambling movements of armed and terrified human beings.

Antoine Bousquet’s recent study, The Scientific Way of Warfar…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ones who would deny health care to the “least of these”—those who can’t afford it because of skyrocketing insurance rates, those who have lost their jobs—thus the chance to “earn” those benefits, and those who haven’t yet had the opportunity to “earn” it because they are young and can’t find jobs. Jesus was very clear that we are to take care of one another, that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, something even Paul reiterated in his lette…

“Reconciliation” With Indigenous People is Comforting For Many Canadians, But is a Christian Concept Up To The Task?

By Pamela Klassen and Joseph Wiebe

…that she doesn’t want settlers to feel guilty or to ask her what to do in order to reconcile. Instead she told a story. Campbell grew up in Saskatchewan, with Mennonite settlers nearby. Campbell’s grandmother became good friends with a Mennonite midwife. They exchanged medicinal recipes, gathering plants and herbs, cooking, baking, and delivering babies. They spoke two different languages—Cree and Low German—and yet they shared a mutual love of t…
