• August 9 -- David
Kirkpatrick's Churchgoing Habit
Another month, another story by David Kirkpatrick on the propriety
of conservative churches voicing support for the Bush campaign.
• July 19 -- "Ethnic
Cleansing Celebrated As the Height of Piety"
Nicholas Kristof's column is slightly less offensive than its
title ("Jesus and Jihad") but it's close: "No, I don't
think the readers of [the Christian apocalyptic novel] 'Glorious
Appearing' will ram planes into buildings. But we did imprison
thousands of Muslims here and abroad after 9/11, and ordinary
Americans joined in the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in part
because of a lack of empathy for the prisoners."
• February 3 -- Religious Wrongs at the
Times
Does the Times require religious guidance?

• September 17 -- “Christ’s
Girlfriend”
The Times Sunday magazine features a Deborah Solomon interview
with the editor for “Revolve,” a fashionable Bible for teenage girls.
Solomon calls one passage “positively regressive” and describes Mary
Magdalene as “Christ’s girlfriend.”
