Bishop Among Those “Outed” by Ugandan Tabloid

By Jocelyn Edwards

…erosexual Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo. His inclusion was only the latest example of the persecution that the bishop has faced for speaking out on behalf of the country’s embattled homosexual community. The Ugandan Rolling Stone (no affiliation to the US publication), which has outed almost 30 gays and lesbians over two of its issues, epitomizes the heightened discrimination that gays and lesbians and their allies have faced following the…

Einstein’s Religion, Darwin’s Agnosticism

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…entury phenomenon of “fundamentalism” was built. But that seems merely the latest skirmish in a far longer war. Indeed, one of the most striking features of much contemporary discussion of the battle between religion and science is the way both sides (rest assured, there are really more than two) sound like sandlot adolescents arguing about “who started it.” The scientists have apparently never forgiven the Church for its treatment of Galileo. And…

Will Voters Approve Marriage Equality?

By Sarah Posner

…On the latest bloggingheads, The American Prospect’s E.J. Graff and I discuss whether polling showing 52% support for Maryland’s marriage equality ballot question will hold on election day: We also discussed the marriage referenda in Maine and Washington, and why Graff thinks the three-year campaign by marriage equality advocates in Maine will pay off. You can watch the whole thing here….

Better Science Through God?

By Nathan Schneider

…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…

LGBT-Friendly Church is Not “Christian” Enough?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…dily resurrection of Jesus and the notion that Jesus died for my sins. The latest insult to my self-claimed Christianity came in the form of a website that lists LGBT-friendly churches around the US I had submitted my congregation, Jubilee! Circle in Columbia, S.C., to be listed in the database, since I consider us an LGBT-friendly Christian congregation. Imagine my surprise, however, when one of the site’s owners wrote to question my Christian cr…

Facebook: Internet Highway to Hell

By Anthea Butler

…e pimped out on the internet by perverts. Now, social media has become the latest “sinful” activity. Perhaps Rev. Miller should get on the phone to Sarah Palin, and counsel her about her kids’ activity on Facebook. Bristol Palin found time from her “Dancing with the stars” practice to get on Facebook with her sister Willow to ride on a friend who had the chutzpah to say “Sarah Palin’s Alaska is failing so hard right now.” Willow’s response was to…

Visit From Conservative Sex Educator Divides a Town

By Eric C. Miller

…state of American sex education. If you’ve been following the story of her latest exploits, you know that the abstinence educator spoke last week at George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia, where she reportedly told students, “If you take birth control, your mother probably hates you,” and “I could look at any one of you in the eyes right now and tell if you’re going to be promiscuous.” Covering that same visit for the Charlesto…

Keeping God Out of Science Class in an Obama Administration

By Lauri Lebo

…aims it no longer wants to require the teaching of intelligent design, its latest book, Intelligent Design 101, champions just that: If future courts recognize the many flaws in the Kitzmiller ruling, it may fare better in the courts and the classrooms. Such a scenario, balancing design and chance rationales for the origins of the universe and life, should be proposed in school boards, taught in public school classrooms, and presented in legislati…

The Tea Party are Sodomites

By Jay Michaelson

…applying to many more straights than gays. (Indeed, to more teenagers: the latest surveys show that 55% of teens have had oral sex, including over 87% of non-virgins.) Then again, in America, these “neutral” sodomy laws were almost always prosecuted against gays only, and since the medieval period there has never been any doubt as to who the real Sodomites are, notwithstanding the broader definition. Jordan goes further, arguing persuasively that…

Our Lady of Good Hope and Excellent Behavior: Why this Apparition and Why Now?

By Lisa Bitel

…rnalists and television reporters, meanwhile, usually just poke fun at the latest Virgin on a Tree Stump or bleeding statue, without bothering to learn more about the long history of local Christian devotions and pilgrimage. Catholic bishops and parish priests usually take a hands-off approach to reported apparitions, at least in the U.S. As a diocesan archivist in Sacramento told me, when I telephoned to ask about a vision event in the Mojave Des…
