The best Christian book of the year

Last updated on: April 10, 2014 at 10:34 am By Dan Wilkinson

To read the words of these women who are living out their calling in the face of enormous challenges is simultaneously heart-wrenching and exhilarating.

A queer feminist Muslim you should meet

Last updated on: October 12, 2014 at 5:34 pm By John Shore

The below originally appeared on Aaminah Khan‘s terrific blog, Days Like Crazy Paving, where it was illustrated with the picture above and titled Muslim, queer, feminist: it’s as complicated as it sounds. I wanted to share it here (which I do with Aaminah’s permission) because I think it so perfectly illustrates the truth that we are all sailing in basically the same boat. Day by day I think we move toward one world. I love this particular step in that direction. Take it away,... Read more

Thanks, Christians, for making me live a lie

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 6:21 pm By John Shore

I am a liar. I have no choice but to be. And for that I have mostly to thank religion—especially, of course, Christianity, which has always been eager to propagate the REAL lie ... Read more

What can movies tell us about the afterlife?

Last updated on: May 28, 2014 at 10:30 am By Dan Wilkinson

What do our stories tell us about who we are? What do our songs, our books, our paintings and our movies reveal about the reality of our existence? Do our artistic expressions point toward deeper truths that lie beyond the merely physical, or is our creative output only a subjective reflection of our innate longings and desires? In “Death at the Movies: Hollywood’s Guide to the Hereafter” (Quest Books), Lyn and Tom Davis Genelli wrestle with these questions through an... Read more

The Embarrassing Speculations of Ken Ham

Last updated on: May 28, 2014 at 10:30 am By Guest Blogger

This guest post is by UC supporter Pete Lefevre. Out of a morbid sense of curiosity, I watched the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate this past week. For me, the origins of our earth and our species have been amply explained through scientific inquiry and those who argue for a 6,000-year-old earth — who treat Genesis as a science and history textbook — have not fully considered the numerous and powerful arguments that might disturb their closed system. That accusation might... Read more
