Better Science Through God?

…ism. And, while Christians grapple to find their notion of the soul in the latest neuroscience, metaphysicals (together with the Dalai Lama) can’t get enough of it. Fortunately, we don’t have to choose. Science as a way of living doesn’t depend utterly on theology. An evangelical can map the human genome, an atheist can unravel the big bang, and a Buddhist can be twice as likely to become a scientist than the average American. In any case a theolo…

Anti-Gay Groups Running Out of Search Engines

…on the Fox site are vowing to boycott Google in favor of Bing, Microsoft’s latest venture into the search engine business. They might want to rethink that move, too, since Microsoft was one of the first companies to include sexual orientation in its non-discrimination policies and actually offers “partial coverage for transgender surgery (effective in 2006) to its existing coverage of other transgender-specific health benefits.” In the words of Ho…

Atheists are Americans Too, Vuvuzelas, Etc.

…mory?  There’s an app for that.  You can even use your iPhone to tweet the latest execution news, like the Utah Attorney General.  But for others the internet is a place for anti-religious rage. Over at the Huffington Post, they have debuted a new discussion between religion and science and the American Association for the Advancement of Science continues to seek dialogue between science and religion.

The Vatican v. Protestant Free Thinkers

…ntly rehabilitated modern scientists. Viewed this way, it would be but the latest intervention in one of the premier slugfests of modernity, the sandlot struggle between “religion and science.” But these volumes are a part of the culture of the Library, and therefore far less interested in slugfest or point-scoring. To view them strictly within the armature of the Church would be to misrepresent their stated purpose, or purposes, ones that are far…

End Times on the Gulf Coast

…lling one person. The monthly average for June is half that. It’s only the latest in a series of flash floods. In Tennessee, 18 people died. In Arkansas, 20 were killed. The waitresses looked teary-eyed at the customers, as if they were simply unable to bear any more bad news. We stared back at the women with the same expression. What the hell has been unleashed? Of course, you don’t have to be washed in the blood of salvation to know that somethi…

Progressive v. Conservative Religion Writers

…bama’s vaunted Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships? In the latest installment of RD’s collaboration with bloggingheads.tv, associate editor Sarah Posner talks religion and politics with Get Religion’s Mollie Ziegler Hemingway. They don’t exactly agree on the politics of the Democrats’ efforts to reach “people of faith,” and they definitely don’t agree on the question of whether LGBT rights should yield to religious conscience right…

Clueless in Gaza

…m our historical experience, and from the ‘ethos’ of self-righteousness as promoted by Prime Minister Begin. In my opinion, there is no greater threat to our survival than this ethos of self-righteousness. It renders us blind and unable to understand our situation—and it gives legitimacy to bad national leadership. Both Harkabi and Leibowitz died in 1994. Toward the ends of their lives, each spoke in prophetic terms about Israel’s political-milita…

Vatican Equates Women’s Ordination with Priest Pedophilia?

…hurch, which eventually built cathedrals for just such periodic gatherings of the local groups that otherwise worshipped and carried out their justice work in their own homes and centers. So while the Vatican staff is busy translating its latest dictum into various languages, Catholic people, with the help of our friends, are living new models of Church. We do so in the hope that we might salvage the heart of the tradition we value, even while the…

Which is the ‘Real’ Reality?: Doctor Who Part IV

…ppropriate—whether directed toward ourselves or towards others. And so the latest episode of Doctor Who challenges us to reflect not only on the nature of reality and how to identify it, but on the question of what images we make of God (mentally more often than physically), and to recognize that the mask that constitutes our image of God usually bears a striking resemblance to ourselves.   Henry Jenkins__________ When The Doctor ‘wakes up’ in the…
