Romney’s quiet first

The New Neo Posted on April 23, 2012 by neoApril 23, 2012

When Obama was nominated and elected, one of the big deals was that he was the first African-American in that position. And that really was a big deal, given our racial history, and despite the fact that his black ancestry … Continue reading →

Religiosity and age

The New Neo Posted on April 20, 2012 by neoApril 20, 2012

Here’s a study that purports to indicate that people get more religious over time: Belief in God is highest among older people and increases with age, perhaps due to the growing realization that death is coming closer, University of Chicago … Continue reading →

The good life, the long life

The New Neo Posted on March 14, 2012 by neoMarch 14, 2012

In yesterday’s thread about eating beef, commenter “SteveH” asks: Where does this obsession with quanity of life come from? I could understand it if we lost years on the average lifespan over the past 100 years. But we’ve gained tremendously. … Continue reading →

The church, contraception coverage, and Obama

The New Neo Posted on February 9, 2012 by neoFebruary 9, 2012

If the Obama administration thought they could sneak this one in (mandatory coverage of contraception) under the rubric of women’s rights, they must be surprised at the depth and breadth of protest it has aroused: Abortion rights organizations, pro-choice Democrats, … Continue reading →

The Cat (Stevens) came back

The New Neo Posted on February 1, 2012 by neoMarch 4, 2021

The singer formerly known as Cat Stevens is nothing if not controversial. It’s hard to write about him even now without generating a firestorm of hatred. But I’m going to try. Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) is hated by a lot … Continue reading →

Hansel and Gretel: losing their religion

The New Neo Posted on December 24, 2011 by neoNovember 28, 2018

I love the opera “Hansel and Gretel,” by Engelbert Humperdinck (no, not that Humperdinck or this one; this one). His name may be a yuk, but the music he composed is among the masterpieces of opera, soaring and sonorous, tuneful … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on December 1, 2011 by neoDecember 1, 2011

Early election results indicate the Muslim Brotherhood is doing well in Egypt: The party formed by the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s mainstream Islamist group, appeared to have taken about 40 percent of the vote, as expected. But a big surprise was … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on November 23, 2011 by neoNovember 23, 2011

Barry Peterson is a man facing a dilemma (the video can’t be embedded, so you’ll have to watch it at this link). His beloved wife Jan has early onset Alzheimer’s, and she now lives in an institution where he visits … Continue reading →

Candidates and religion

The New Neo Posted on August 25, 2011 by neoAugust 25, 2011

Those of us old enough to remember when JFK was running for office (I was just a wee slip of a girl, myself) can recall the furor about his Catholicism. Kennedy’s allegiance was to the Vatican! was the cry. He … Continue reading →

Christian terrorism?

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2011 by neoAugust 1, 2011

The logic of those who claim that Breivik was the Christian equivalent of a Muslim terrorist leaves a lot to be desired. Are there Christian clerics clamoring for the murder of Young Socialists in Europe, in order to preserve the … Continue reading →

Gay marriage and religious freedom

The New Neo Posted on July 13, 2011 by neoJuly 13, 2011

Although gay marriage was approved by the legislature on New York, opponents are vowing to fight on. They propose a state amendment to ban gay marriage, although my sense is that passage would be an uphill battle—especially since there is … Continue reading →

Geert Wilders not guilty: free speech wins in the Netherlands

The New Neo Posted on June 23, 2011 by neoJune 23, 2011

The trial of Dutch politician Geert Wilders for inciting hatred against Muslims may have passed under the radar screen here for the most part. But it’s important, as is his acquittal, which indicates that at least a modicum of free … Continue reading →
