Penn Jillette’s Signs You May Already Be an Atheist

By Steve A. Wiggins

…ily throughout puts to shame those who populate our headlines with the divine injunctions misguided parents cite to punish their children too severely. Penn may be an atheist, but he would not sacrifice his family, even for “God.” Few will be surprised that many of these stories are funny, but they are often angry too. Having written on the lack of trust I have in the TSA before, Jillette’s rant in “Penn’s Bacon and a Kiss Airline” was like findin…

What the Lost Finale is Really About

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…the soul) damned.” To be lost is not merely a geographic problem for marooned airline passengers, or for men unwilling to stop and ask for directions—it’s a spiritual and moral condition. These days a google search turns up over 500,000,000 hits (that’s half a billion); not too surprising for a basic and often-used term. Similar numerical results come from google searches on terms like “run” and “hide.” Meanwhile, “found” yields over 1.3 trillion…

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Men “Stand Up” for “Religious Freedom”… On a Plane

By Kara Loewentheil

…work. The problem is what happens if the woman/women won’t cooperate. As one news source described a recent outburst: “Hundreds of ultra-orthodox Jewish men delayed takeoff of a transatlantic flight by refusing to sit next to women, and then caused chaos once it was airborne [by standing in the aisles for the entire flight and refusing to occupy their seats].” Obviously a congested plane aisle isn’t the end of the world (although one can imagine…

What’s More Frightening Than Snakes on a Plane?

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. Work to make affordable, quality prenata…

Does Hormonal Birth Control Turn Chimps Gay?

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ere’s how it starts: Studies have shown that women release a chemical hormone, or pheromone, when they’re fertile, making them more desireable and attractive to men… When a woman is taking a contraceptive, her body responds as if she is pregnant and infertile, and therefore no longer releases the pheromone of fertility, making them less desirable to men. Studies have shown that men are far more attracted to average, fertile women than they are eve…

God’s Obituary: A Humanist Response to Mass Murder

By Anthony B. Pinn

…ist as clear markers of the relationship between suffering and spiritual renewal has produced this knee-jerk reaction to tragedy. I understand the desire for meaning; the yearning for purpose even in the most horrific of events. Humans by their very nature seek connections, push for meaning, but this turn to a cosmic force—a tendency to await a “word from the Lord”—clouds our ability to fully grasp the nature of human tragedy and slows our efforts…

Liberal Christians Come Out Swinging at Trump, Mostly

By Daniel Schultz

…sounds like they’re not giving up on the fight for immigrant rights. Mainline leaders were mostly subdued, at least the ones who did react. For example, leaders in episcopal systems, as is their wont, called mostly for prayer and reconciliation in the aftermath of the election. “Let us commit ourselves to the hard work of life together,” wrote Bishop Matthew Gunter of the Diocese of Fond du Lac. United Methodist Council of Bishops President Bruce…

Did You Read About Conservative Judaism’s Anti-Black Antisemitic Smearing of Hebrew Israelites? Neither Did I

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…and a rabbinical intern at a Conservative movement-affiliated synagogue in Newark, New Jersey, raise serious concerns about the intersection between mainstream Judaism and Hebrew Israelites.” The language represented in this passage reveals not a concern with intersection but contamination. Once again, if this is simply an issue of unaffiliated clergy presiding over services of a member congregation, why make the distinction between “mainstream Ju…

Religious Right Dream of Privatized Public Education Gets Boost

By Julie Ingersoll

…ick Scott’s plans to massively expand Florida’s voucher plan, which would inevitably result in taxpayer money funding religious education in Christian schools and Christian home schools. The plan would save money because the dollar amount of vouchers is lower than the actual cost of vouchers due to additional state infrastructure costs. New Jersey Governor Christie has now announced his own far-reaching plans to transform New Jersey public educati…

Talking With the “Religious Terrorist” that Turkey Wants Trump to Extradite

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…with comfortable, overstuffed chairs and couches lining either side with one prominent chair at the head of the room, almost like a throne. Clearly it was his, since there was a TV remote and some reading material beside it. I stepped aside so he could take the chair but he insisted that, as the guest, I should take the honored spot. He took a more modest seat by the side. Tea and Turkish sweets arrived shortly after, and the conversation began….
