A Muslim’s faith is the shuttle he mounts to escape the confines of narrow realism.” As events unfold like a collapsing dam in North Africa and…

RDPulpit: Obama Missed the Hope in State of the Union Address

By Daniel Schultz

…been desperate to suppress this insight for decades. God is free, and in that freedom, for the poor. That there is the possibility of change, that the bubble has burst and the financial certainties are on the brink of collapse, that the numbness and despair have been pierced—all of this should be evidence for the faithful that God is “operating under a new plan.” This is not the hope Joe Hill famously derided as “pie in the sky, by and by,” but…

Unlike in 1989, it isn’t America standing for freedom, but a neighboring Muslim democracy that has taken the lead.

…ving Islam should be jailed. A HuffPo news item gives more detail, saying that a person is free to leave Islam without harassment, and should only be jailed if they preach to others that they should leave Islam. (I am relying on second-hand reports as Adhami has numerous lectures and there is no direct link to what the reporters are referring to).

…lly the economy; they will end wars; they will set the captives free. But what happens when messiahs fail? What happens when promises of hope are met by realities of despair? What happens if prosperity eludes us? What happens if violence and terrorism abound? What happens if change results in more of the same in Washington and the world? Americans must be ready for this. Otherwise, we may be preparing ourselves for a fall of edenic proportions. Af…

A Pence Presidency Would Give Margaret Atwood’s Dystopian Vision a Run for its Money

By Diane Winston

…e Pence joined the Trump ticket, I’ve been haunted by Duvall’s character. What would that quiet, white, Christian male authority look like in today’s world, and what kind of society would Commander, oops, President Pence seek to build? As Trump’s troubles grow by the hour so does the urgency of these questions. Online and off, the term Christofascism is creeping into conversations. Christofascism, a word coined by theologian Dorothee Sölle, refers…

As Pat Robertson Retires, Here Are 10 of His Most Cringeworthy Moments

That’s what Pat Robertson did after Haiti’s devastating earthquake in 2010, which Robertson attributed to a “curse” tied to the malevolent spiritual forces with the help of which, he assured 700 Club viewers, Haitian slaves overthrew their French colonizers in a late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century revolution.

Anderson echoes precisely what same-sex proponents have been saying all along with regard to children: that the desire to marry is in fact a desire to be more traditional.
