I believed all Indians were Hindus, because all the Indians I knew were Hindu. Fortunately, adolescence, attendance at a big college, and a healthy addiction to books disabused me of such naive assumptions. But they continue to run rampant, due in part to lack of exposure….

Crying Witch: Learning From the O’Donnell “Dabbling” Debacle

By Spencer Dew

…the term as a self-description, it also gives us all a chance to consider anew the means by which the religious or cultural other has been and continues to be dehumanized and demonized.

…of Mandela’s legacy. Mandela taught us, said Lapsley, “that we all have a role to play in shaping the world of our dreams. We can live together, we can be a human family, we can live together in peace, with dignity and respect to each other.” This inspiration to new generation truly does put the life of Nelson Mandela, as it continues to have profound meaning in South Africa and the wider world, in all of our hands.

The Martyrdom of Cecil the Lion

By Jacob J. Erickson

…o tears on his show describing the event. Recognizing the pop-value of the news, Buzzfeed tracked all the reactions to Palmer’s story. The outrage is often directed (in some ways rightly) toward an individual. The events often make news due to the “celebrity” status of large animals like lions.

By Drew Konow

…estone encrusted Bible, with a giant bedazzled cross around her neck and a cape embroidered with another cross trailing behind, Alyssa Edwards says “I never thought I would be in full drag, holding a holy rhinestone Bible marrying two men.” Here and elsewhere, Alyssa walks the line between campy religion and sincere religious practice.

…tures Bellah outlined in his influential essay. While the Thanksgiving Day newspaper is full of flyers encouraging the Christmas commercialism that begins tomorrow, this holiday is precious to many US citizens precisely for it simplicity and sometimes elegance.

…sake of the little ones. Many little ones will fall into this sin if LGBT promoters push them. And we also protest for the sake of the LGBT promoters themselves.

Rather, his focus is on understanding the decisi…
