-Emily Timbol-Reeves points out evangelicalism's overemphasis on virginity. Money quote:
While there isn't anything wrong with encouraging young people to wait, there is something wrong when that encouragement is done by telling them how ruined their lives will be, and how much they've "lost" if (and most likely when) they do mess up. Maybe, instead of raising young people to be terrified of sex and the repercussions they'll face if they do mess up, Christian leaders should spend time talking about how amazing it can be when it's within the relationship for which it was intended.
Take note of that, Rebecca St. James!
-When she wasn't (rightfully) calling out The Gospel Coalition, Rachel Held Evans was responding to Ross Douthat's god-awful article about liberal Christianity.
-And finally, even though this is actually from two weeks ago, Bruce Epperly explains how the Higgs Boson can be seen as a metaphor for how God is the center of everything.
