Negative Space: religion
- The Adjustment Bureau
- A potentially great movie, The Adjustment Bureau devolves into a chase and a cheap love story in the final third of the film. It’s as if they ended the first Matrix movie with Trinity and Neo settling down in the suburbs of the Matrix.
- Article VI
- Article Six of the U.S. Constitution transfers power from the Articles of Confederation to the Republic.
- Divine Lore
- Lists of divine spirits and gods.
- Is religious faith a political sin?
- I’d be more afraid of someone who masturbates emotionlessly, than someone who follows Christianity’s teachings on adultery.
- Is religious freedom a license to discriminate?
-
The Reader is proud to offer space for this guest editorial to the American Civil Liberties Union. We prove our dedication to tolerance whenever we fight religious extremism.
- Left believes atheists are wasteful bullies?
-
The left is touting a new study that claims to show that those without religious upbringing are more likely to sympathize with victimizers than with victims, and are more wasteful with other people’s resources.
- Lord, thy will is hard
- We all fulfill God’s will. From the mightiest to the lowliest, we all are a part in God’s plan. Ask any Christian, and they’ll tell you that they believe this. Get down to the specifics, however, and you’ve touched on a central, and difficult, part of Christian faith.
- The Temple of Aphaea at Aegina
- On the north coast of Aegina, about 9 miles from the ancient town, there was a sanctuary on a wooded ridge. There, people were by the second millennium already worshipping a nature deity, who in Greek times bore the name Aphaea.
- There will be lies
- The media takes a blunder by Coons on the first amendment—and outright changes what both candidates said to make it look like a blunder by O’Donnell.
- Why Drugs?
- Whether it is children spinning themselves into hallucinations or religions incorporating mind-altering drugs, there appears to be some human need to induce “variations in consciousness”.
