…st only, in most cases, at the mercy of advertising revenues. So while the number of voices has increased, the number of well-funded reporters has decreased.

Content is certainly being generated, but it’s proving no easy replacement for print. Many publications weren’t initially eager to embrace the online wor…

I Volunteer to Root Out Christian Extremism

By Peter Laarman

…of wimpy. But then you can never be too sure, can you?) My mention of high schoolers supposes that American high schoolers with a “cause” can get their hands on major weaponry. Yes, they can! And please understand that the LAST thing I want to do is interfere with their Second Amendment rights. So-called “privacy” is negotiable; the Right to Bear Arms is not. As you and I know full well, access to guns is not the issue here. Bad intent is the issu…

By Joanna Brooks

…e in being “benevolent” and “doing good to all men.” And one could quote a number of uniquely LDS scriptures from the Book of Mormon to cast new light on the human aspect of the immigration question, including King Benjamin’s timeless question in Mosiah 4:19: “are we not all beggars?” Are we not all immigrants? When Mormon pioneers—almost entirely European-American—arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, Utah did not yet belong to the U…

Uganda Isn’t Alone in Persecuting Gays

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…oposed legislation criminalising them and threatening them with death. The scapegoating must stop.” For that scapegoating to stop, strong opposition must be raised by religious voices not just in America but around the world.

…ascist government and state-controlled media, we’ll fail to see the next fascism coming. A fascist state doesn’t emerge out of nothing—in fact, the conflict about how far Republicans should push oppression using the mechanisms of the state is eerily reminiscent of the conflicts in Italy in the 1930s. As historian John Ganz points out: “(…) this tension between conservative elements of the bourgeoisie and the rowdy mob of the “party” is straight ou…

The Christmas lights in the commercial were all LED, so: you’re welcome, Environment. Can I use plastic bags again now? RM: I was forced t…

By the Way: Religious Right Losing its Grip?

By Randall Balmer

…ing about meaningful reform on this issue is to change the terms of the conversation and alter the moral climate. Besides, the only thing that both sides of what currently passes for debate over abortion agree on is that making abortion illegal will not have a significant effect on the number of abortions. The developments at Regent University and the University of Notre Dame suggest that younger evangelicals understand that, as do a growing numbe…
