Many of us were raised to worship Israel, and we manifested that devotion through innovative myths and rituals, from dance to liturgy and beyond.

…ah Cummings (D-MD), the son of two Pentecostal ministers, accused Issa of “promoting a conspiracy theory that the federal government is conducting a ‘war’ on religion.” Cummings added that “The pill has had a profound impact on their well being, far more than any man in this room could know.” Maloney, before she left the hearing, took on Issa in her statement: “What I want to know is, where are the women?

…her GOP candidates. In 2012, they have expanded their candidate invitation list. In 2008, Perry—possibly in a preview of the focus of a presidential run—invited pastors to a Policy Briefing by invoking Islamophobia (via the Texas Freedom Network): Both our nation and our Judeo Christian heritage are under attack by a force that is more dangerous than any threat our world has faced in recent memory.

Who Wins When Bible is Blamed for Gay Bashing?

By Mark D. Jordan

…times and places have cited their Bible to authorize crimes against a long list of people—including those accused of same-sex relations. But then let me ask the obvious question: Who gains when a gay activist endorses the most homophobic of marginal interpretations of the Bible after half a century of gay or gay-friendly efforts to establish better readings? By “better” readings, I mean truer readings. Because, of course, even the one version of L…
