In Which I Explain why Marathon Runners are Depraved and Should Just Have their Knees Fall Off Before I Give them One
Red Cent

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ideas about how other people should use their bodies? Should we allow huge numbers of other people to do improper things with their bodies, especially when we might end up indirectly paying for it? I say no. This is why I hope you will join me in support of God’s Design For Walking. For there is a scourge of marathon-running in this country. How do I know that marathon-running is not something you should be doing with your body? I mean, it’s only,…

Christian Morality vs. Free Markets: The Constants of a Conservative

By Eric C. Miller

…e, seems to cast traditionalist commitment in libertarian language. Do you buy that interpretation? That’s an astute point. “Religious liberty” is a perfect example of fusionist rhetoric and fusionist ideology. After Reagan succeeded so dramatically with a fusionist “God and markets” message, there have only been a few non-fusionist conservatives to gain much national traction. Pat Buchanan’s 90s-era culture warriors are one example; although, by…

Excerpt: The Christian Roots of Zionism

By Shalom Goldman

…uages, became a mainstay of Zionist polemics. The phrase was utilized in a number of ways, some more sophisticated than others. While some advocates of Zionism used it to imply that Palestine was empty of people, that suggestion was contradicted by the reports of many Western visitors. The phrase was most pointedly used to claim that the Arabs of Palestine had no distinct Palestinian identity. They were ‘‘Arabs,’’ not a cohesive national group. Th…

Battling The Antichrist By Outlawing Microchips

By Joseph Laycock

…y in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times,” said Cole. “Some people think these computer chips might be that mark.” In spite of some ridicule, Cole’s bill passed the Virginia House of Delegates by an overwhelming 88-9 majority—because, as his fellow Republican David B. Albo opined, “The fact that some people who support it are a little wacky doesn’t make it a bad idea.” Cole is not…

The Paranormal to Pop Culture Pipeline

By Joseph Laycock

…as “full of off-the-shelf Halloween junk, dolls and toys, books you could buy at any bookstore,” it’s an important case study in lived religion and the free exchange of ideas between pop culture and paranormal belief. The Warrens (Ed passed in 2006) were infamous demonologists whose greatest “case files” have resulted in such “real life” horror films as The Amityville Horror, A Haunting in Connecticut, and The Conjuring, which featured “Annabelle…

New Poll Shows Pro-Stupak Democrats Out of Step With Constituents

…a system that, over time would be no different from Stupak: shrinking to zero insurance coverage for abortion for women needing federal subsidies to buy insurance, or covered by any (currently theoretical) public option….

Paul Ryan’s Bible, Jim Wallis’, Or None of the Above?

By Sarah Posner

…or decades. The evangelicals tolerate it, because, minus the atheism, they buy it, too. As Jeff Sharlet showed in his book The Family, the founder of that powerful organization, Abraham Vereide, got his start as a union-buster and opponent of the New Deal. The Family, or Fellowship, offers religious succor, counsel, and cover to Washington’s most powerful people, and its annual National Prayer Breakfast is attended by Democrats and Republicans ali…

Goodbye to Amy Winehouse, Living Celebrity Dead

By Mathew Schmalz

…and desolate. Offerings at her shrine are a material currency in which we buy back some of that dark energy—an energy found in the freedom of contradiction. When I first lived as a student in India 25 years ago, I went to a temple dedicated to the Goddess Kali in Jaipur at which a special offering was presented. My Indian host family told me to not come home without the offering, sweatmeat, available in stalls near the temple. As I ascended the s…

Clinging to Religion,
but Not Guns

By Sarah Posner

…gun violence and deeply afraid of becoming victimized by gun violence, we buy more guns while loosening rather than tightening gun laws, thus actually increasing the chances that we or our loved ones will die a gun death. All of which has to lead to the conclusion that there is a spiritual reality underneath this social sickness. Is it too much to say that we are in the grip of “principalities and powers” that delight in the suffering they incite…

Sam Harris and the New Islamophobes, Deconstructed

By Hamdan Azhar

…ic grounds of “self-quantification” and “Bayesian morality.” This is the proper contextual lens in which to read the enablers of neoconservatism and the apologists for new atheism. To buy the meme that the irrational fear of Islam represents a failing of Islam and Muslims is to end the possibility of constructive discourse….
