ELSEWHERE: IRS to Pro-Life Group: Promise Us This, or No Tax-Exemption for You

Last updated on: May 17, 2013 at 11:55 am By Brad Williams

I cannot believe that the IRS did this. Not because I do not think people can’t be this biased, but because the political and ethical ramifications of it should be dizzying. Read more

Just to Clarify: The Boy Scouts of America Are Not Endorsing Homosexuality

Last updated on: May 17, 2013 at 9:04 am By S. L. Whitesell

The Boy Scouts are both a private association and an icon of American wholesomeness. Boy Scouts represent the clean cut, responsible adventurers among us, always looking to improve themselves, their environments, and those around them. While the Scouts are not an explicitly religious organization, and definitely are not a parochial wing of evangelicalism, the organization was founded in a fit of Teddy Roosevelt Progressivism, spurred by worries about the negative effects of urbanization and the like. Over the past decade... Read more

The Moviegoer: The Colossal Vitality of Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby Illusion

Last updated on: May 17, 2013 at 7:25 am By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. I went into Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby with some reluctance. Luhrmann’s penchant for superabundant style–made famous by Moulin Rouge, whose popularity still escapes me–could go one of two ways insofar as it is a competent filmic rendering of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Undoubtedly, Luhrmann’s eccentric auterism could serve well both the source material’s extravagant parties at Gatsby’s mansion, and even Fitzgerald’s lyrical sense of prose.... Read more

Citizenship Confusion: The Boston Bombers Tell Us Why They Did it

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 11:25 am By Alan Noble

Citizenship Confusion, Alan Noble discusses how we confuse our heavenly citizenship with citizenship to the state, culture, and the world. This morning, CNN reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators why he and his brother committed their horrifying act of terrorism in Boston: Tsarnaev scribbled [in a note found in the boat he was captured in] that the Boston victims were collateral damage as Muslims have been during war and that an attack against one Muslim is an attack against...

Muslims Stoning Christians in Michigan? Not quite… (Updated)

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 11:01 am By Alan Noble

The following is a detailed look at a conflict which took place last year at the Arab Festival in Dearborn, Michigan, in which Christians were assaulted for “preaching.” This post was originally published in June 2012. This week a federal judge threw out the case against the police who failed to stop the assault (allegedly) and asked the street preachers to leave. While many publications have spun this incident as an example of Muslim violence and savagery, as I show here,... Read more
