[Editor’s Note: This just keeps getting stranger. Last month, I received a news dispatch from a disturbing future version of America through an anonymous remailer. The other day, I received a message from a different address, presenting itself as the same thing… but apparently from a very different future than the previous one. I have…

I haven’t written a post on morality in a while, and this one’s a little different than past entries. This is an issue where I haven’t made up my mind, and I’m hoping that people’s comments can illuminate the issues and help me reach a final decision. Through the economic chaos of the past two…

I feel bad writing about so much terrible news for women so close to Mother’s Day. On the other hand, what better time is there to emphasize just how much still has to be done in the global fight for women’s rights? Despite all the outrages against women committed by the religious right in America,…

As you probably already know, today is Mother’s Day. But I learned something very interesting about the holiday from a sermon today at the Unitarian Universalist church my wife and I attend, and I’d like to share it with you. Given how rampantly commercial Mother’s Day has become, you might be forgiven for assuming, as…

The Language of God, Closing Thoughts By B.J. Marshall Collins’ final word comprises two points: that there is joy and peace in God’s creation, and that the war between science and spirit should end.

Free speech is always and everywhere under attack in the world, and as depressing as it is to have to keep pointing that out, I think it’s vital to highlight it when it happens so that this human right is never taken for granted. Unfortunately, these past few weeks have offered a surfeit of examples.…

So, I think it’s about time for another self-promotion thread. What say you? If you maintain a blog or other site that you want to tell us about, now’s the time! Feel free to post a comment telling us about yourself and your site: who you are, what you write about, and why we should…

At the end of last month, the Delaware legislature voted to approve a civil union bill. If Democratic Governor Jack Markell signs the bill, as he’s said he will, Delaware will become the newest state to grant same-sex partnerships all the same legal rights as heterosexual couples – joining, by my reckoning, ten others: Vermont,…

I had a post about marriage equality I was going to put up today, but instead, let me just say this: Holy shit, we killed Osama bin Laden. I’m still speechless – this doesn’t seem real. My reactions, more or less in order: (1) When I opened my news reader this morning, the first headline…
