Family Research Council is Attacked—Tony Perkins is Quick to Blame SPLC

By Evan Derkacz

Listen to FRC president Tony Perkins talk about the deplorable shooting that took place at his group’s headquarters yesterday: [The shooter] was given a license to shoot an unarmed man by organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center that have been reckless in labeling organizations as hate groups because they disagree with them on public policy. Naturally, you want to tear your hair out. You want to mention that if the Southern Poverty Law…

It’s Barack v. the Bible, Says Barton

By Paul Harvey

…se we always need a “Party of Fear,” whether it comes in the form of Federalists dubious of democracy in the New Republic, or nativists fearing the influence of “new immigrants” in the 1850s (or the 2000s), or contemporary commentators suspicious of Obama’s foreign, Islamic, or radical roots. Even from his grave, hack journalist Andrew Breitbart continues to taste that fear, and spread the hate. And a “religion of fear” serves a multitude of purpo…

Christian-Only Prayer Rally The Response Goes To Early Primary States

By Sarah Posner

…ugust event. The main themes: purity and obedience to Jesus. The mailing list from the August Response is being used by the AFA to send voters information about Champion the Vote, a project of the non-profit group United in Purpose, which, according to the L.A. Times, “is using sophisticated data-mining techniques to compile a database of every unregistered born-again and evangelical Christian and conservative Catholic in the country.” United in…

All Your Dead Mormons Are Belong To Us

By Jay Michaelson

…y offensive it is to a Jewish person to see Anne Frank’s name on a similar list—only, this time, one meant to be taken seriously? Finally, though, there’s the weird fact that we Jews are offended by Baptism of the Dead even though we don’t believe in it. I assume none of my fellow Israelites really believe that because someone puts a dead person’s name in a jar, that person is really converted to another religion. In other words, we’re offended b…

Burning Down the Temple: Religion and Irony in Black Rock City

By Sarah M. Pike

…Visionary State: A Journey Through California’s Spiritual Landscape, journalist Erik Davis places Burning Man alongside other Golden State phenomena. Burning Man arose from the ashes of Haight-Ashbury and what Davis calls California’s “great polytheistic fusion of transplanted religions, nature mysticism, tools of transport, and creepy cults.” But nineteenth-century camp meetings and spiritualist conventions that upended traditional worship norms…

Waiting for Lightning to Strike: A Wobbly Agnostic among the Atheists

By Carolyn S. Briggs

…there is no God, just as I always knew there was a God. Call us fundamentalists, the two of us. But here’s the difference: I am a reformed fundamentalist. I can now entertain the idea that my truth may not be the only truth. I want to understand, to listen and consider other people’s points of view, even when I find their convictions strange or frightening. That’s why I’m here. If I reject this group’s beliefs without understanding them, then I h…

Romney’s Mild Rebuke to Bryan Fischer, and Fischer’s Ugly Speech

By Sarah Posner

…f sincere, authentic, genuine Chrisitan faith.” In the rest of his laundry list of presidential prerequisites, Fischer veered from there to discuss the “mythical separation of church and state,” the need for a president to “reject the morally and scientifically bankrupt theory of evolution,” and to believe in “the same Creator” as the founders— the “creator revealed in the pages of the Old and New Testaments.” That led him to an extended anti-Musl…

GOP Presidential Candidates’ Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy

By Paul Wallace

…eed to subscribe to any particular scientific theory in order to right the listing economy, or to protect U.S. interests abroad, or to navigate Capitol Hill. In principle, one could reject the heliocentric theory and still be a first-rate president. But he is ultimately wrong about the inappropriateness of the question. It is appropriate because the answer has consequences that go far beyond science. He was not being asked to understand the detail…

#OccupyWallStreet and the Antichrist

By Sarah Posner

…y the other types of institutions Kazin names, and I’d add churches to his list of “think tanks, legal societies, lobbyists, talk radio and best-selling manifestos.” The Democratic Party thinks it can’t afford in any way to support an institution that might take on the Wall Streeters who stuff campaign coffers with cash. Fear of an imagined “false prophet of peace” and prophesied leader of a “one-world government” and “one-world economy” could he…

Does Religion Justify the Murder of Troy Davis? [Updated]

By Jay Michaelson

…he one hand, certain crimes deserve death. Whatever we make of the Bible’s list (which includes violating the sabbath and committing adultery), there are indeed acts so heinous that the blood of the victim seems to cry out from the earth. (Gen. 4:10) On the other hand, we human beings can hardly ever be sure of ourselves. We are fallible—no more so than in the case of “eyewitness” testimony, as devastatingly catalogued in a recent Slate article ab…
