Purity culture meets Mom’s divorce-court gift (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I threw my paint brush down and demanded my mother explain why she didn’t like my fiancée. It was summer between my junior and senior year in college. Mom and I were painting a bathroom in my parents’ house. She had just asked if I knew that a prominent man in our community had been engaged to someone else before breaking it off and eventually marrying his wife. I knew this was a veiled suggestion that I break off my engagement. That was not going to happen. I had known from early on that Mom wa
Bobs, heartbreaks and space jellyfish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I will ask off work if you really want me to. But I think you need to do this trip solo. And just heal.” Heeding those words from my wife, here I am, south of Daytona Beach, Fla. — in solitude for a week for only the second time in my 60 years.

Should joining a church be as easy as getting a prescription for Viagra? (opens the original)

Joining a Baptist church was even easier than getting a prescription for ADHD or erectile dysfunction. When I was on a state regulatory board for counselors, we
Tennessee gubernatorial candidate would ban mosques (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With a toothy laugh, Tennessee GOP primary gubernatorial candidate Monty Fritts defends his pledge to ban Muslim mosques and other “pagan” houses of worship. The primary election is August 6, and state representative Fritts faces two opponents: Sen. Marsha Blackburn and U.S. Rep. John Rose — both vying to be the most like Donald Trump. Fritts’ jovial friendliness to even an oppositional interviewer makes it clear why he appealed to the 32nd Tennessee House district voters who elected him. Howeve
Half-truths and the Six Commandments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The Ten Commandments are displayed in the Supreme Court of the United States.” “There are more trees in the United States today than when the pilgrims first landed.” What do these two claims have in common and so what? It’s important because, in a 9-8 decision, a federal appeals court ruled that public schools in Texas are allowed to display the Ten Commandments, which might lead to a Supreme Court landmark case. This represents a profound threat to the United States’ status of a democracy for
