Mommy explains her plastic surgery

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:00:56 +0000

In Dallas (naturally), a parenting magazine discusses how easy it is for mommies who don't like their post-child bodies to get surgery -- and to have it financed! -- to reverse the effects of time and childbirth. Don't like what nursing has done to your na-nas? Doc has just the solution:
Doctors say some women, especially with...

Why I became Orthodox

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:46:58 +0000

Wrapping up my four Beliefnet years, I was thinking about the posts that attracted the most attention and comment in that time. Without a doubt the most popular (in terms of attracting attention, not all of it admiring, to be sure) was the October 12, 2006, entry in which I revealed and explained why I'd left the Roman Catholic Church for Eastern Orthodoxy. At 5,000 words or so, it was probably the longest post I've...

‘Rape by deception’? Huh?

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:51:28 +0000

The BBC this morning reported on a bizarre case in Israel of an Arab man convicted of "rape by deception," because he'd led the Jewish woman with whom he'd had consensual sex to believe he was Jewish. Ha'aretz has the story here. Plainly it's a racist verdict, and a bizarre one -- but there's more to the story than Ha'aretz lets on. According to the BBC radio report I...

Non-bigots against gay marriage

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:45:42 +0000

I wrote earlier about how useful it is to humble yourself and try to see what the world looks like through the eyes of your opponents. Jonathan Rauch, the gay journalist and same-sex marriage backer, does an exemplary job of that in a recent speech....

China is turning Christian

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:24:24 +0000

I saw recently a statistic saying that China today exports as much every six hours as it did in all of 1978, when Deng Xiaoping's revolutionary opening of China to the world started. Thirty years ago, would anyone have foreseen China as prosperous as it is today? And would anyone have predicted that so many Chinese would be turning to Christianity? Read the full post here »

Here’s your chance to say goodbye

Rod Dreher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:13:48 +0000

By week's end at the most, I'll be saying goodbye to Beliefnet and moving this blog over to Big Questions Online. When I make the announcement, I'll close all comments threads, because I won't be able to monitor them anymore. I'll be giving coordinates for the new blog and all that, but because when I turn out the lights on my Beliefnet career, there won't be any combox commentary after that, I want to give all of you a chance to say goodbye to each other, if you won't be following me to the new...
