Is Proselytizing Ever Okay? Are We All Proselytizing All The Time?

By Chrissy Stroop

…of “If I respect your boundary, I am violating my religion,” you should feel free to tell them that their religious freedom ends where your own religious freedom and moral autonomy begin. The fundamental fact remains that you haven’t asked them to change their mind about anything; you’ve only asked them to leave you alone. If we want to have a functional pluralist society at all, we need people, broadly, to respect such boundaries. Stalking and h…

…better jobs so as not to move away from her, but doesn’t tell her how he feels. She feels the same way about him, and likewise hasn’t told him. Meanwhile, using a perception filter to disguise itself as a second story to the house he lives in, a marooned spaceship has an automated emergency holographic program, which is looking for a pilot, luring people into the ship and connecting them to it, thus far always killing them in the process.

By Mary E. Hunt

…d other media outlets that will not let this case fade away. I doubt sincerely that the clergy fellows will cut him loose for prosecution in other locations. They have already hedged their bets by saying that it is not clear that the new 2013 Vatican guidelines can be applied retroactively in this case. Problems of double jeopardy remain of course. In short, while the Vatican’s rhetoric is promising, the timing and expected next steps make clear t…

Should Evangelicals Smoke Pot?

By Eric C. Miller

…, Crouch says this: We at Christianity Today believe Christians are absolutely free to use marijuana (where legalized). And, when it comes to pot in our particular cultural context, we think it would be foolish to use that freedom.

And since our particular context is not conducive to marijuana use, marijuana use would be…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…in this country. But for that to happen, the racialized and masculinized notions of what freedom means will need to recede—and the whole vile edifice of our herrenvolk democracy will need to be exposed for what it is. Romantics are free to cling to Shelley’s belief that poets are our unacknowledged legislators. Realists these days will prefer to take their guidance from scrupulous historians, doing their job without fear or favor and holding up a…

…ke over America by implementing Sharia. We’re seeing the rhetoric around “religious freedom” as Christian privilege, the denial of which is framed as persecution from the Trump Administration—but there are at least two other places to keep an eye Sekulow’s influence.

By Carmen Celestini

…es who protected “American values” of family, gender roles, morality, and religion. In Caldwell’s articles, and in the rhetoric of much of today’s conservative movement, it was America’s abandonment of God and embrace of LGBTQ2SA communities, feminism, and effeminate men, that opened the door for the communist/socialist infiltration. Caldwell’s advice was to “treat your son, from the very bassinet, to be manly,” as he wasn’t an adorable baby, but…
