GODSTUFF PROJECTING FAITH: Buddhism, “The Simpsons” and how we see ourselves Applying a religious label to anything other than a person has always left me feeling a little squirrelly. Only a being with volition and free will could choose to call him- or herself “Christian” or “Buddhist” or “Jewish.” So the notion of “Christian music” or “Buddhist film” or “Jewish art” seems like a fallacy to me because a creation of human hands, especially one as subjectively viewed as a...

PRAY FOR TAMMY FAYE We’ve always had a soft spot for this woman, with her wigs and bad makeup, and what has genuinely felt like a sincere faith and pathos underneath it all. Even in the dark days. Even during the scandals and the histrionics and the mascara running down her chipmunk cheeks. She’s a pistol and we love her, in spite of (no, really, because of) herself. Tammy Faye (Bakker) Messner is gravely ill. She’s battled colon and lung... Read more
