FON DU LAC, Wis.- A Wisconsin priest's Volkswagen Beetle bearing a "God Squad" logo is the subject of a cease-and-desist order from Best Buy's corporate offices. Best Buy officials said the logo on the vehicle owned by the Rev. Luke Strand of the Holy Family Community parish in Fond du Lac is too similar to the "Geek Squad" logos on the Beetles used by the company's computer technicians, the Fond du Lac Reporter said Monday. "Father Luke Strand has been contacted by Best Buy as it would relate to his 'God Squad' car. He is working with Best Buy to...

Supporters of California agriculture called on the Obama administration and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday to lift water restrictions that were imposed to protect the endangered delta smelt, saying the fish is putting farmers out of business. The Pacific Legal Foundation presented a "Save Our Water" petition with 12,000 signatures at a Sacramento news conference, calling on Mr. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, to request that the Obama administration convene the federal Endangered Species Committee, also known as the "God Squad," to remove the water curbs. "California should be known for the Rose Bowl, not a dust bowl. But there's a...

A bipartisan group of Michigan lawmakers wants all sixth-grade girls to be vaccinated against cervical cancer. A Republican state senator who is the lead sponsor said it's the first legislation of its kind in the U.S. The vaccine was approved by federal regulators this summer and hailed as a breakthrough in cancer prevention. The shots prevent infections from strains of a sexually transmitted virus -- human papilloma virus, or HPV -- that can cause cervical cancer and genital warts. At the time, conservatives expressed concern that schools would require the vaccine for enrollment. They argue that such mandates infringe on...

by Mark Finkelstein December 23, 2005 - 08:40 What the Today show probably intended as a warm-'n-fuzzy holiday segment just veered wildly off course when a rabbi spoke some unvarnished truth. The topic was "December Dilemma: Interfaith Holdidays," and dealt with the issue of celebrating the holidays in families with children where the parents are of different religions. Footage was played of a family with a Jewish wife, a Christian husband and a couple of very cute daughters. They were predictably shown admiring both a menorah and a Christmas tree. Back in the studio, David Gregory interviewed "The God Squad,"...

A pair of respected religious figures have made a new plea on behalf of life for Terri Schiavo, saying that at a minimum her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, should be allowed to take over her care. Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Tom Hartman, popularly known as "The God Squad," in an appearance on Don Imus' top-10 radio program, decried the treatment of the brain-damaged Florida woman who, after a ruling by a state judge more than 11 days ago, has had her feeding tube removed and is slowly dying of starvation and dehydration. "[The case] is really an outrageous...

We enjoyed the theological discussion between Rabbi Marc Gellman, the Jewish half of "The God Squad," and CNN's Aaron Brown Tuesday night. Gellman makes clear that no authority has the right to end someone's life, and certainly no one has the right to stop someone's life by starving them to death or depriving them of water. Here's the exchange: <>Brown: I guess I'm looking for a road map here. What does it mean in this day and age to be alive? Gellman: What it means is that you have an elemental right to stay alive. If you are innocent, if...

The words were said countless thousands of times last year as a minister concluded the ceremony. "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." But so often man and woman do. While gay marriage has been roundly condemned in most churches (and rightly so), you will not hear much about divorce. In many cases, if divorce is discussed in church, it's talked about as this horrible circumstance that comes upon people, listed in the same breath as automobile accidents or serious illnesses. The Bible is quite clear on the issue of divorce. Malachi 2:16 says it clearly, "For...

<p>Some Jews and conservative Christians are questioning a pro-family group's association with an Islamic organization.</p> <p>Rabbi Marc Gellman, a syndicated columnist who makes frequent TV appearances as half of "The God Squad," resigned last month from the advisory board to the Alliance for Marriage (AFM) because it includes a representative of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).</p>

Since Sept. 11, we've been living with the specter of religious fanaticism. So it's grimly refreshing that two judges from the Ninth Circuit on the Left Coast have now offered us a glimpse of secular fanaticism. Unless you've been living in a potato sack, you know the court ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance (because it includes the words "under God”) violates the First Amendment provision against the establishment of a national religion. That is not true. What is true is that the ruling violates both common sense and the foundations of our country's deepest political and religious identity. Most...
