Get Religion is a national and global journalism site focusing on how the mainstream press covers religion news in politics, entertainment, business and sports.
I do not expect a second wave of Steve Jobs religion coverage at this stage of the game, even with the fascinating, almost civil religion tone of the official Apple memorial service.
A few weeks ago, I spotted a pair of TOMS in Goodwill. Knowing the shoes run anywhere from around $50 to $100, it seemed like a cultural moment where the trendy shoes have made it into a second-hand store.
Religion flared up in last night’s debate in Las Vegas, with Anderson Cooper asking the GOP presidential candidates to address questions about whether or not to vote for a candidate based on their faith.
Today was a long day and I didn’t get to dig into the tree-pulp edition of The Washington Post until after dark, during a later-than-normal commuter train home to the south side of Baltimore.
Remember Harold Camping, the man who predicted that many would be raptured on May 21? Camping (who has wrongly predicted these kinds of events before), set a prediction for the end of the world for October 21.
Radio guy Todd Wilken really ambushed me late this week when we hooked up to do the latest “Crossroads” podcast (click here to download or here to listen on your computer).
Within about five minutes of reading about Steve Jobs’ death, a friend texted me, “Get ready for all the overreaction about Steve Jobs, who was obviously dying for years.” It’s also interesting (but not surprising) to see how quickly Gawker would publish a post “What Everyone Is Too Polite to Say About Steve Jobs.” How soon is too soon to start critiquing someone’s life after their death?
I attended the Values Voters Summit to do some reporting for Christianity Today, and I feel like I attended a different event than some of the reporters there.
The Divine Ms. M.Z. Hemingway is on the road right now, but I can still pass along this item from one of her emails to the GetReligionistas circle. It concerns a rather strange headline about Mitt Romney, America, God and world domination.
