…d they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we…

Romney Accuses Obama of Stifling Religious Liberty

By Sarah Posner

…llow conservatives. Now that he’s expected to be his party’s nominee, he feels compelled to take up its most potent religion crusade this year: the claim that religious institutions who are opposed to contraception should get a special exemption from the requirement of the Affordable Care Act that employers provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, free of co-pays. Even those religious institutions which have been, without complaint, prov…

Burning Man: Religious Event or Sheer Hedonism?

By Lee Gilmore

…participants are encouraged to give their resources, time, and creativity freely to one another. Event organizers also consistently refuse all offers of corporate sponsorship, believing that it would be antithetical to their vision for the event to do so. On the flipside, this means that participants and others sometimes misconstrue the “gift economy” ethos as requiring Burning Man organizers to refrain entirely from engaging in the real-world m…

…a condition of joining a zone of countires that allows visa- and passport-free travel. Poroshenko’s government was dealt another blow when a member of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s own party denounced the bill in a passionate back-bench address. “As a country with a thousand-year-old Christian history, we simply cannot allow this,” lawmaker Pavlo Unguryan said. “Today, a special status for sexual minorities is simply unacceptable.” Scotland:…

The Christian Roots of the New Age: The Aquarian Gospel

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…m. The reason this book is called The Aquarian Gospel has to do with the (relatively) new modern science of astronomy. As Levi’s wife, Eva S. Dowling, explains in her introduction to the book (she movingly refers to herself as “scribe to the messenger”), the new astronomy posits the existence of a central sun, around which our sun and system of planets revolve. It was believed to require something on the order of 26,000 years for our solar system…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ve his candidate some traction in this race. Haley, for her part, has never denied that she was raised in a Sikh family, but asserts that she has since converted to Christianity. Knotts, however, doesn’t believe that, telling the Free Times: “We need a good Christian to be our governor,” he said. “She’s hiding her religion. She ought to be proud of it. I’m proud of my god.” Sadly, Sen. Knotts, I’m not so sure he’s proud of you….

By Chrissy Stroop

…ption that “Christian” is a synonym for “good” comes at the expense of nonbelievers and adherents of minority religions, who are never given the same benefit of the doubt as Christians. For what it’s worth, by the way, it turns out that Boebert, who attends New Creation Church in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, does understand and affirm orthodox Christian atonement theology about Jesus’s crucifixion. It didn’t take much effort to dig up video of her,…

Hell 101: A Back-to-School Reflection on the Persistence of Belief in Eternal Punishment

By Hollis Phelps

…ions rather than religious ones, as is often assumed. Or, said more accurately, hell is for them, like for many Americans, a projection of culture, what Feuerbach called “our inward nature.” This projection, in turn, gives a metaphysical stamp of approval to our cultural practices: there must be winners and losers here because there are winners and losers in the next life and vice versa. Otherwise, what’s the point. Hell, then, is necessary, and t…
