Paranormal Vodka, Exorcists and a Demonic Doll: Welcome to Paracon, Based on the Work of the Demon-Hunters Who Inspired the ‘Conjuring’ Series

By Eric Harrelson and Joseph P. Laycock

…ox: a demon-possessed doll so dangerous it’s locked in a glass case with a sign that reads “Warning Positively Do Not Open,” yet here it sits in a casino ballroom before 5,000 fans and potential possession victims. The crowd around Annabelle is huge, so I snap a quick selfie with the doll, and Joe and I continue on our way. There are other objects in the Warren Museum exhibit, including a skull used in “Satanic rituals,” the “Necromonicin” (a ridi…

What the Hell is Wrong With Us? A Muslim Response to America’s Failure to Change

By Haroon Moghul

…icle is property, of course, and the individual right to property is quite significant in Islam, but it isn’t absolute. If your property can harm someone, then the right to life supersedes the right to engage in commerce or build wealth. So consider the question of speed limits again. As cars become safer and smarter, maybe the speed limit can go up. But as traffic increases, maybe it should go down. (I don’t know, I’m not a traffic engineer.) The…

LGBTQ Victory at Christian Azusa Pacific U. Leaves Significant Questions About Future and Faculty Security

By Chrissy Stroop

…stian as well as Christian students, and thus does not require students to sign its statement of faith. This in particular may have made it untenable for the school to hold to overtly discriminatory rules with respect to student conduct in the face of public scrutiny. Before the latest change, APU alum and Brave Commons leader Erin Green, who has worked closely with APU students from the beginning of the push for change, began encouraging students…

Yom Kippur Prayers for Corporate Atonement at Occupy Wall St.

By Sarah Posner

…Living. In addition, Sieradski is a writer, photographer, filmmaker, and designer whose work explores themes of post-normative Jewish cultural expression. I see from the Facebook page you put up for the Kol Nidre minyan at Occupy Wall Street that you already have more than enough people for minyan. To your knowledge, is this the very first Kol Nidre service in the history of the world that takes place in solidarity with a protest against economic…

Pro-Life Tempest Over Obama’s Notre Dame Speech

By Mary E. Hunt

…things such coverage? A quick look at the Newman group’s Web site with its sign-on petition ticking like a doomsday clock is enough to cast doubt on the veracity of its claims. So what if X number of people say to rescind the invitation? Last I heard, Holy Cross Father John Jenkins was hosting the party. Obviously, this is not simply about a graduation speaker. The President of the United States is being instrumentalized in a long Catholic theo-po…

Will Texas Really Be Able to Undermine Marriage Equality?

By Sunnivie Brydum

…its decision cannot abridge the rights and benefits that a state must afford to same-sex couples. It remains to be seen how effective this particular case—with its backing from powerful Republican leaders in Texas—will be in gutting the freedom to marry in the Lone Star State. But it does signal the latest, and clearest to-date, sign that marriage equality is far from legally settled. As long as there are right-wing politicians and civilians will…

Indonesia: As Volcano Erupts, a Spiritual Loss

By Mark Woodward

…ries of natural disasters that have struck Indonesia in recent years are a sign that the end of the world and the Day of Judgment are at hand. Others report having visions or dreams in which victims ask them for prayers. Some survivors tell miraculous stories of be warned by spiritual beings of the coming danger and being told to pray and recite the Qur’an. One family who lived only a few hundred yards from Mbah Marijan’s compound escaped with onl…

Remembering Rumsfeld: The Defense Department Gospel and America’s Desert Crusade

By Nathan Schneider

…perverse dreams, both equally doomed, offer an inkling of hope that there is enough common ground between the apex of American power and the popular expressions of its terrorist enemies that the two might someday graze together, like Isaiah’s wolves and lambs. It is, backhandedly, the sign that a more patient dialogue, over years of inevitable sacrifice and setback on all sides, might finally be fruitful, uncovering a world everyone can stand to…

Vandals Deface Easter Billboard in New Zealand

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…mber anything I said. . .’” Vandals were not amused by the church’s cheeky sign and again defaced it—only this time, the vandals didn’t just indulge in mindless destruction. Instead, as church spokesman Rev. Clay Nelson said, the graffiti was an actual rebuttal: “It took me a while to read the graffiti, but it’s definitely a biblical reference, rather than just a tagging. “Clearly they objected to the theology on the billboard because they wrote J…

The Irony of Trumpism: A Turning Point for Muslims in American Politics

By David Krueger

…one level, the inclusion of Khan in a prime convention speaking slot is a sign that party officials are increasingly comfortable with including Muslims in a visible way. Khan was introduced by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Monday night’s headliner, Bernie Sanders, was introduced by Minnesota’s Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to U.S. Congress. Yet there were moments in the convention that seemed to affirm old stereotypes about Muslims as “f…
