Is Sex Outside Marriage Dehumanizing? The Problem with Tim Keller’s ‘Biblical’ Sex Ethic

By Chrissy Stroop

…er adopted a ‘kids these days’ flex, decrying what he sees as an “individualistic, therapeutic understanding of the self,” from which he pivoted to quibbling over definitions again, now with more dismissal of his critics’ supposed embrace of “post-structuralism.” Yesterday, Keller tweeted yet another lengthy thread about this ‘insidious’ therapeutic ‘self,’ attempting to appropriate non-white cultures in his crabby critique of “Western individuali…

Comparing Gender Transition and Surrogacy to War and Human Trafficking, Vatican’s ‘Dignitas Infinita’ is an Intellectually Embarrassing and Harmful Mess

By Mary E. Hunt

…se by the stated claims of wanting to be a synodal church; that is, a more listening and dialogic church than its ancestors. ‘Synod’ is insider vocabulary meant to signal dialogue, listening, and ‘walking together’ (synod) toward love and justice. Good luck with that when this, the official statement on morality, reflects neither participation nor openness to new sources and new voices. The dissonance makes obvious that the power structure hasn’t…

An Open Letter to American Muslims on Election Day

By Haroon Moghul

…ly want, and what they clearly oppose? Life doesn’t work that way. You can list all the reasons you want about why one candidate has shortcomings and use this as a reason to justify not voting against the other, far worse candidate, but ultimately, to me, this election comes down to one simple question. Do you respect yourself? In a time of escalating Islamophobia, that question might be the single most critical question of all. Because, name one…

Evangelicals Looking for Walker to “Do Nothing” in 2016 Election

By Sarah Posner

…to use “‘God and country’ talk borrowed from a 1980s-era television evangelist.” Moore “has a good feel of the pulse of evangelicals” and “represents a wide segment” of them, said Tobin Grant, a political scientist at Southern Illinois University and blogger on religion and politics for Religion News Service. Unlike his predecessor, Richard Land, known for inflaming the culture wars, Moore’s “focus is more on religious and social concerns than di…

No Turkey for Me: Confessions of an Indian Militant

By Johnny P. Flynn

…he years Indian militants have also been called communists, fascists, socialists, and radicals bent on destroying America. In fact, those names—which cancel each other out in any logical mind—have been applied in recent months to another tribal man, Luo of Kenya, who occupies the Oval Office at the moment. As an Indian militant I am discouraged, but not surprised, that the mainstream media has so far failed to recognize the stomp-down amazing fact…

Is Sport Worth Dying For? Lessons From the Vancouver Olympics

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…eflection, was what things were worth risking one’s life for. On any short list of such things, one’s city, one’s honor, one’s lover, and one’s gods would enjoy a place pf prominence. The contests at Olympia were dedicated to Zeus, those at Nemea were dedicated to Poseidon, those at Delphi were dedicated to Apollo, and so on. It is worth recalling and acknowledging that every culture has the forms of violence it sanctions, especially when that vio…

Queer [Theory]-Bashing by Georgia Republicans; The New Know-Nothingism Creeps

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…y taxes, the wisdom and justice of which are debatable.) After mistaking a list of faculty created specifically for media outlets for a university course guide (in fact it identified their areas of research expertise), these state legislators began calling for an investigation of colleges throughout the Georgia state system (27 four-year campuses in all), in order to weed out courses that should not be taught, and quite possibly, to downsize furth…

Wiesel to Romney: Stop LDS Baptisms of Holocaust Victims

By Joanna Brooks

…ses the LDS “Family Search” genealogy database today must scroll through a list of policies including the proviso that names of “Jewish Holocaust victims” should not be submitted by non-family members, and then must indicate that they are in keeping with policy when they submit names for proxy rites. But violations continue, and they are a source of great shame and embarrassment. Perhaps more can be done. Listening in on conversations among Mormon…

Lila Rose Targets Planned Parenthood with Lies

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ple cash their paychecks—perhaps they even follow Doug Scott’s LDI boycott list in their daily shopping—go home and tune in to EWTN, read the latest blogs and decide what to pontificate about tonight. They don’t act, and they don’t worry anymore about results, except those which will be occasionally delivered through prayer. If we could pray away abortion, however, it would have been over a long time ago. And those are just a few examples. All of…

Battle of Antisemitism Definitions is Actually a Proxy War For Criticism of Israel

By Joshua Shanes

…ury. In my youth, American Jews forged (in both senses of the word) a pluralist community through Holocaust commemoration and Israel celebration and worship. I don’t use that word worship lightly. Many of us were raised to worship Israel, and we manifested that devotion through innovative myths and rituals, from dance to liturgy and beyond. This was a core of the curriculum of the Jewish day school I attended for nine years, for example, far more…
