RDPulpit: Dry Bones & Oil Spills: the Dangerous Memory of Ken Saro-Wiwa

By Peter Herman

…lies fled from the military into the jungle. This is all the cost of doing business, isn’t it? Make no mistake: this was not simply an example of a dictatorship run amok. Shell sent monetary aid to the regime. Shell requested “security operations” of the Nigerian military and police forces. Shell told the Nigerian regime to deal with Ken Saro-Wiwa and the other leaders of MOSOP. Shell’s lawyer attended their military tribunal. Brian Anderson, Mana…

By Lauri Lebo

…ntal, health, and justice needs of the communities. Landry handed them his business card and they agreed to talk later. Landry is admittedly still struggling with his message, but he knows he’s fed up with seeing such helplessness in his people. “For 300 years, people have getting screwed here,” he said. “Acadians and Indians, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re poor.” An Amazing Amount of Uncertainty In the small communities that rise up out of t…

Is Obama the Antichrist? Why Armageddon Stands Between the President and the Evangelical Vote

By Matthew Avery Sutton

…the evangelical movement since the Great Depression. Obama is caught in a classic catch-22. The Antichrist, the Bible explains, is going to masquerade as an angel of light. This means that the more Obama accomplishes as president and the more he improves America’s image abroad, the more suspicious evangelicals will become; they don’t want to be duped by the devil. Obama’s talk of more cooperation with other nations, the possibility of a national…

Muslim Students Shocked By Professor’s Column

By Haroon Moghul

…oley, like Varadarajan, writes for Forbes.com). Last year, Stern School of Business brought onboard a Visiting Professor, Thio Li-Ann, also a member of Singapore’s parliament, who had argued during a 2007 parliamentary debate against legalizing sex between men and had expressed strong homophobia in her online writings. Rightly, she left over the summer, but not because the university suddenly contracted an aversion to free speech. Rather because w…

The Man Who Hoarded 17,000 Bottles of Sanitizer Did Nothing Wrong ― And That’s the Problem

By Daniel Schultz

…Street hedge funds. And just like arbitrageurs everywhere, Colvin says his business works by “fixing ‘inefficiencies in the marketplace.’” That is, prices for something like hand sanitizer are set inefficiently when it’s sold through the local supermarket or Target; the market will bear higher prices, and Colvin is willing to do the leg work to collect the premium. Colvin says that it costs him more to deliver the goods than might be apparent: “Ju…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…t. Many historians have observed that the Republican Party had been in the business of rejecting democratic ideals since the passage of the Civil Rights Acts in the 1960s. They were unwilling to share democracy with people they deemed were less than them. Watergate was part of this. The 2000 election and the 2016 election were other watershed moments of the GOP’s slide toward a full rejection of American democracy. I see J6 as a culmination. Can y…

Female Breadwinners=Death of Civilization, Says Fox Panel

By Melissa Weininger

…the home, engages in agricultural labor singlehandedly, runs a successful business. This was the ideal for the traditional Jewish wife, and in many Jewish households in nineteenth-century Europe (and many ultra-Orthodox communities today), women were the primary breadwinners, a role considered essential to the maintenance of a vibrant, stable, ethical society. The highest value of the community was Torah study, which was only open to men, and onl…

Confront Death by Avoiding Fritos: The Gluten Lie, Fad Diets, & Foodie Faith

By Michael Schulson

…hat makes the best story, and science writers, myself included, are in the business of making science compelling by telling stories. It’s true: we report scientific findings in a narrative form. One important point: science is filled with conditionals and religious literature is not. Any religious literature, any revealed scripture, doesn’t have lots of mights and coulds and maybes and further revelations are needed. There’s nothing wrong with tha…

Franklin Graham Defends Himself from Birtherism Charges by Engaging in… Birtherism

By Sarah Posner

…and many others have shown, years ago, Graham is just flat wrong about the business about Islamic law and Obama’s father. I’ll let Hussein’s 2008 post explain: Although he [Obama] was born to a Muslim father, his father renounced his faith. To be a Muslim is not a legal status that is transmitted by birth, like Judaism is confirmed through the mother. A child can be raised as a Muslim, but still renounce the faith when she reaches the age of compr…

Why I Joined Over a Thousand Faith Leaders in Masterpiece Case Brief

By Marie Alford-Harkey

…to perform a wedding for a same-sex couple. But Masterpiece Cakeshop is a business open to the public; it cannot choose to deny service to same-sex couples. If Phillips believes baking a cake for a same-sex couple violates his religious beliefs, he can choose not to operate a business. The same would be true if an atheist baker believed that baking a cake for a baptism violated their beliefs. An individual is free to hold and to practice such bel…
