The Man Who Hoarded 17,000 Bottles of Sanitizer Did Nothing Wrong ― And That’s the Problem

By Daniel Schultz

…Street hedge funds. And just like arbitrageurs everywhere, Colvin says his business works by “fixing ‘inefficiencies in the marketplace.’” That is, prices for something like hand sanitizer are set inefficiently when it’s sold through the local supermarket or Target; the market will bear higher prices, and Colvin is willing to do the leg work to collect the premium. Colvin says that it costs him more to deliver the goods than might be apparent: “Ju…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…it’s hard to see where we’re going. The reason I’m adapting my research on American businessmen working with Nazis in 1940 into a streaming mini-series is because in 1940, it really wasn’t clear which way things were going. That was a paradigm shift, too. We grow up with stories about a triumphant America that won World War II, but in 1940, it wasn’t at all clear how history was going to play out. I want American audiences to understand that, espe…

The Republicans’ Dangerous Quest to End Nonexistent Taxpayer-Funded Abortion

By Sarah Posner

…ould result in higher taxes for women and their families, as well as small business who provide health coverage to their employees. The bill has 227 co-sponsors, mostly Republicans, and is supported by the Family Research Council, American Family Association, National Right to Life Committee, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Concerned Women for America, Priests for Life, the Susan B. Anthony List, and the Latino Partnership for Conservativ…

Why #FreeBritney is an #Exvangelical Cause

By R.L. Stollar

…ne angle. While several journalists have noted the role of Spears’s former business manager, Lou Taylor, in Spears’s conservatorship, Taylor deserves greater scrutiny. In Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino’s New Yorker piece on Spears’s conservatorship, for example, they include a single throwaway line about Taylor’s religious beliefs: “Jamie had become close to Lou Taylor, a business manager who shares the Spears family’s Christian faith and whose hu…

Female Breadwinners=Death of Civilization, Says Fox Panel

By Melissa Weininger

…erself with strength,/And performs her tasks with vigor./She sees that her business thrives;/Her lamp never goes out at night.” In other words, there is nothing she doesn’t do: she takes care of the home, engages in agricultural labor singlehandedly, runs a successful business. This was the ideal for the traditional Jewish wife, and in many Jewish households in nineteenth-century Europe (and many ultra-Orthodox communities today), women were the p…

Confront Death by Avoiding Fritos: The Gluten Lie, Fad Diets, & Foodie Faith

By Michael Schulson

…hat makes the best story, and science writers, myself included, are in the business of making science compelling by telling stories. It’s true: we report scientific findings in a narrative form. One important point: science is filled with conditionals and religious literature is not. Any religious literature, any revealed scripture, doesn’t have lots of mights and coulds and maybes and further revelations are needed. There’s nothing wrong with tha…

Franklin Graham Defends Himself from Birtherism Charges by Engaging in… Birtherism

By Sarah Posner

…and many others have shown, years ago, Graham is just flat wrong about the business about Islamic law and Obama’s father. I’ll let Hussein’s 2008 post explain: Although he [Obama] was born to a Muslim father, his father renounced his faith. To be a Muslim is not a legal status that is transmitted by birth, like Judaism is confirmed through the mother. A child can be raised as a Muslim, but still renounce the faith when she reaches the age of compr…

Why I Joined Over a Thousand Faith Leaders in Masterpiece Case Brief

By Marie Alford-Harkey

…to perform a wedding for a same-sex couple. But Masterpiece Cakeshop is a business open to the public; it cannot choose to deny service to same-sex couples. If Phillips believes baking a cake for a same-sex couple violates his religious beliefs, he can choose not to operate a business. The same would be true if an atheist baker believed that baking a cake for a baptism violated their beliefs. An individual is free to hold and to practice such bel…

Why the Women’s Ordination Question Will Shape the Future of Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…ublications, and some forms of inquiry stigmatized. LDS institutional and business insiders often cite with approval Harvard Business School professor and former LDS regional authority Clayton Christiansen’s work on “innovative disruption” as a force in institutional life, but it is hard to conceive of an organizational culture more allergic to disruption than today’s gender-segregated, regionally- and racially-dominated, hierarchical, and geront…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…of religious thought in this country. They always have, inasmuch as Anglo-American Protestants could never quite decide how much to follow Jesus Christ and how much to follow John Locke. But fealty to high finance has doubtless gained market share among the religious in recent decades. Recall how Alabama’s Republican governor, Bob Riley, a conservative Christian citing gospel principles, tried to bring some tax fairness to his state in 2003. Rile…
