Driscoll Makes Plagiarism Complaint Disappear

By Evan Derkacz

…“Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse in a free and open encounter? Her confuting is the best and surest suppressing.” I am with Milton here: The freer the press, the less the innocent have to fear and the more the guilty need to be worried. We’d like to think so. But the rub, as Miller argues, is that all too often the light merely shines on crafty rhetoric. Read Miller’s piece here. *Ingrid Schlueter resigned, sh…

Mister Rogers’ Radical Pacifist Neighborhood

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…d were saddened and disturbed by Mister Rogers’s apparent unwillingness to free Shamu from the confines of the Sea World tank. The letters are very touching in the care they express for a killer whale in need of the freedom afforded by a vast ocean. They are also moving in the sense that they are the product of Rogers’s own creation—his handwork in encouraging children to express their feelings, including those of anger and disappointment. The let…

Christianity’s Greatest Counterfeit

By Willie James Jennings

…tle to do with the worship of a marginalized Jew, named Jesus, who came to free the poor and oppressed. This counterfeit Christian community worships power, desires control, and imagines the world revolving around self-sufficient men (and a few women). I call it “Mad Man Religion.” Mad Man Religion looks just like Christianity. It connects religious practices to free market practices like you would connect pieces from a Lego set. And it offers to…

Army Disinvites Graham to Prayer Day

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…Islam, that are enslaved by Islam and I want them to know that they can be free,” he said. Which begs the question about how Christians treat women. While it’s true Christian women are not expected to wear burkhas they still are treated horribly by many Christians. Many Christian denominations continue to ban women from ordination or to any leadership position where they may be in a position to “teach a man.” Conservative Christians still expect w…

Christian Lawyers Claim Religious Persecution

By Sarah Posner

…amilton, “is about the agenda that started with Rosenberger of re-crafting Free Exercise claims that have no chance of winning into free speech claims.” In Rosenberger v. University of Virginia, decided in 1995, the Court ruled that a public university engaged in “viewpoint discrimination” when it refused to fund religious clubs on the grounds that such funding might appear to be an endorsement of a particular religious group, in violation of the…

8 Bill Maher Statements For UC Berkeley To Consider Before Commencement

By Nathan Lean

…ding this ruckus, however, are a few missing (and critical) points. First, free speech does not guarantee Maher or anyone the right to be invited by elite institutions to deliver keynote speeches. In no way does uninviting Maher infringe upon his ability to express his views in public. In fact, he does so regularly on his primetime cable television show to roughly 4 million viewers. Second, the purpose of a university commencement address is to sp…

Channeling T.S. Eliot, Ross Douthat Fears The Loss of Taboo

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…nnection with Islam, forced by Islam’s “radical fringe.” Otherwise, we are free to offend, liberally and often. Taboos have been eradicated, limits eliminated. But we’ve heard that all before. Writing in the 1930s, modernist poet and essayist T.S. Eliot begrudged a society with nothing left to blaspheme against: “I am reproaching a world in which blasphemy is impossible.” Eliot believed it had all been done: righteous heroes made into laughingstoc…

Are Religious Leaders Prepared to Engage “Religious Liberty” Questions Post-Hobby Lobby?

By Carolyn Davis

…ders need to help their congregations tell the story of American religious freedom, both its successes and its failures. Celebrate the ways religious liberty provides the crucial bulwark that allows for pluralism of belief and experience: offer special worship services, sermons, education programs, and social media outreach efforts that critically engage the tensions between freedom and liberty in religious practice and American citizenship; take…
