By Sunnivie Brydum

…osite sex”—is clearly drafted to evoke visions of sexual violation, a tried-and-true (though patently false) scare tactic anti-LGBT activists frequently use to defeat nondiscrimination policies. Even setting aside the fact that ADF’s claim belies a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be transgender (transgender women are women, not men), and its erroneous conflation of gender identity with sexuality, the case is flimsy at best.

How Would Religion Respond to Extraterrestrials? A Thought Experiment

By Ed Simon

…lar Atheist Community has announced that the “…discovery of alien life once-and-for-all disproves the idea of a creator god.” But Christians are left wondering whether the papal encyclical will explain how the crucifixion of Christ redeemed the Sagittarians, or whether they had need of their own “alien Christ.” For the next few days at least the Vatican remains silent while that corner of the night sky near NGC 6809 is still pulsing out prime numb…

Are Social Issues Non-Issues?

By Jay Michaelson

…n fact articulate a clear, moral vision: where men like him are in charge, free enterprise reigns, and those who are weak deserve the suffering they get. While preaching compassion, Romney exuded the cool confidence and blithe disinterest that served him well as a venture capitalist and endears him to libertarians. Unfortunately, an alternative model of human greatness was not provided on the other side—at least not on this night. Social issues ma…

…ured or killed in the Oak Creek shootings. Everyone in the community is welcome, and non-Sikhs are invited to show their solidarity. Just underneath that announcement of welcome, the “Law Enforcement Training Video On Sikhism” is posted.

By Elizabeth Drescher

…nk Brooks gets it right (just before he gets it wrong): The Internet-versus-books debate is conducted on the supposition that the medium is the message. But sometimes the medium is just the medium. What matters is the way people think about themselves while engaged in the two activities. He goes on to insist that “the literary world [by which he means the world of printed books] is still better at helping you become cultivated, mastering significa…

Raised a Catholic, Gorsuch and his family most recently attended a Protestant church in his native Denver. Not a conservative evangelical megachurch, but an Episcopalian one. That’s right.

Baring Their Testimonies: Mormon Women Get Naked for the Camera

By Holly Welker

…r decision. I don’t feel like a husband should be able to say no. He can feel uncomfortable about it, but it’s still not his body. What are the theological or doctrinal ramifications of your project? Mormon doctrine is a very embodied doctrine. Our theology of God is about an embodied god. We believe that God was once as we are. We believe that our bodies are temples. We believe that it’s spiritually important to take care of our bodies. This…
