“Ham on Nye” Debate Doesn’t Reflect Reality

Last updated on: February 5, 2014 at 5:55 pm By Christian Piatt

Whenever I hear about someone else making a case for New Earth Creationism in the name of Christianity, I’m embarrassed, once again, to associate myself with them. And people wonder why many of us prefer to identify as “Jesus followers” or “Spiritual but not Religious” rather than be lumped in with the Ken Hams of the world. Duh. The thing is, a healthy number of us who consider ourselves to be Christian embrace science. We think critically. We accept the... Read more

God is Disappointed in You! (CultureCast)

Last updated on: February 4, 2014 at 9:23 pm By Christian Piatt

This week, we welcome Mark Russell and Shannon Wheeler, author and illustrator, respectively, of the book, “God is Disappointed in You.” If you’ve ever found it tedious to plow through all 66 books of the Bible, this humorously irreverent digest is a great starting point. It’s worth it, if for nothing other than the circumcision cartoon. We’re also introducing a new segment called “Bourbon Corner,” where Christian Piatt and Patrick Don Vito break down all things bourbon: this week’s featured... Read more

Forget Swords and Plowshares: Turn Guns Into Guitars

Last updated on: January 30, 2014 at 8:21 pm By Christian Piatt

Most people haven’t heard of “Legislative Theater,” thought it’s been around for about fifty years. The idea is to use the arts – and more specifically, theatrical productions – to affect social and political change in a specific, concrete way. And although the concept was born in South America, Pedro Reyes has brought it to the United States. In a recent National Public Radio story, he explains how the concept came to be a reality. It began seven years ago when... Read more

Christianity 21: Cultivating a More Generous Christian Conversation

Last updated on: January 30, 2014 at 12:05 am By Christian Piatt

Doug Pagitt and Tony Jones have been at this whole church leadership thing for a while now. As two of the voices at the forefront of the emerging Christianity movement, they are visionaries, strategists, and hands-on practitioners who, as much or more than anyone, have wrestled with the complex and persistent question of what tomorrow’s Christian faith looks like. For one thing, there’s an emphasis on the word movement: ideas, communities, and understanding of what it means to be engaging... Read more

Why the Grammys’ “Macklemore Weddings” Were a Good Thing

Last updated on: January 29, 2014 at 6:56 pm By Christian Piatt

Lots of folks have been chattering about the mass wedding that took place in the middle of Macklemore’s “Same Love” performance at the Grammys this past week. The lighting-quick ceremony included dozens of couples, both same-sex and opposite sex, presided over by none other than music and film star Queen Latifah. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ song, which deconstructs the biases around same-sex couples and promotes an openness to marriage equality, went viral this past year, particularly as the Youtube video...

Is Wealth a Sin?

A recent report by OXFAM offered some sobering data about both the concentration and flow of wealth in the world today. A few key points, also summarized by a new business article on The Atlantic website , include: The richest 85 people in the world control as much wealth as the poorest 3,000,000,000 people; Nineteen out of 20 “G20” countries are experiencing growing income inequality between rich and poor; In the United States in particular, 95 percent of the post-financial-crisis capital growth has been...
