Unjust Laws: MLK and Contraceptive Mandates

Last updated on: January 30, 2013 at 1:07 pm By S. L. Whitesell

Last week, in the guise of celebrating one man’s legacy, the nation took a day to solemnize our formal commitment to equality before the law. Blacks in this country have suffered much, finally gaining their freedom only to be hunted like animals in some places. I understand that the beneficiaries of and successors to the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. look to him as an icon, a martyr in the struggle for civil rights. I would be a sentimental fool if...

The Church and Boarding House Community for Singles

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 8:27 pm By Amy Lepine Peterson

Recently the Globe and Mail reported that for the first time in Canadian history, there are more households comprised of singles than of families with children. Where single dwellers “accounted for only 7.4% of homes in 1951,” census figures from last fall show that now, 27.6% of Canadian homes have just one occupant, a trend that the is “mirrored in the United States and a few steps behind similar trends in Europe.” At The American Conservative, Rod Dreher considers whether this change...

Mixed Signals: Nigella Lawson Refuses to Airbrush Her Curves for The Taste

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 7:56 pm By Erin Straza

Did you hear about the latest celebrity photo airbrushing incident? The buzz surrounds English food writer Nigella Lawson, who is one of the hosts/judges on ABC’s new show The Taste. Promotional materials for the show include Lawson, who is wearing a form-fitting dress. And it shows the curve of her stomach. Rounded stomachs are frowned upon in Hollywood, however. Airbrushing techniques are typically used to create a more subtle curve so as to not offend the Hollywood standard. Lawson refused:... Read more

YOLO! SNL Turns the Phrase On Its Head And Demonstrates Another Kind of Faithlessness

Last updated on: January 30, 2013 at 7:30 am By Guest Contributor

Most of us have heard the phrase “you only live once,” now commonly shortened to that maddeningly moronic acronym YOLO. Rappers Drake and Rick Ross blessed us with this gift in pop culture, and it’s now common to hashtag #yolo in tweets and instagrams depicting recklessly stupid behavior. The main point is you only live once, so why not? It’s the mantra of mindless kids and the punch line to many jokes about youthful foolhardiness. As someone somewhere once put... Read more

Creationally Unintelligent? A Review of the Needs for Scientific Education

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 6:38 am By Christopher Hutton

How well do you know your evolutionary process? Could you tell me the difference between the process of Microevolution and Macroevolution? Despite what it seems most evangelicals think, it’s worth knowing basic knowledge of science, especially when it comes to our theological issues. Our schools should be acting as buildings which hold the arguments for both, from the pros to the cons. Sadly, the bias is there, and science education standards are at an all-time low. And it’s likely because... Read more

Women in Combat: We Will Lose This Fight. Let’s Lose For the Right Reasons

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 8:49 am By Brad Williams

It was the summer of 1993, and I remember it like yesterday. I was an 18-year-old boy straight out of high school, and I was sitting on a bus in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. My Drill Sergeant had just boarded the bus. His uniform was crisp, and his glare was all business. It was surreal, like a scene from a movie, only this was real life. He stood there for a moment surveying us, somehow seeming both tense and relaxed.... Read more

The Quinoa Craze: The Occasional Problem with Buying Better Food

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 8:43 am By Jewel Evans

Personal experience tells us that it costs money to buy food. And it’s also obvious that it costs more money to buy better food, the sort often labeled “organic,” “fair trade,” “free of preservatives,” and so on. A somewhat recent food trend in the latter camp is quiona (keen-wa), a Peruvian whole-grain full of amino acids and known as a complete protein. This item is praised in the food-conscious, vegan, and “granola” crowds. It provides a serious dose of protein,... Read more
