Lying in the Name of the War Lord: Jane Roe’s Fake ‘Conversion’ is a Feature Not a Bug of the Extreme Christian Right

By Frederick Clarkson

…ng-term war with everyone else. And in this war, lies are a feature, not a bug. The theorist-in-chief of this war is 20th century theologian, R.J. Rushdoony whose influence on the development and the eschatology of the evangelical wing of the Christian Right makes him a figure of historical consequence. His school of thought is called Christian Reconstructionism and the wider movement he principally engendered is generally called Dominionism. Most…

Hail Santa! War-on-Christmas Outrage Over Satanic Tree Reveals the Self-Serving Ambiguity of ‘Religion’

By Joseph Laycock

…n has argued that the ambiguity of the word “religion” is a feature, not a bug. As he puts it, “[religion’s] utility is linked to its inability to be defined.” Just as Christmas can be either religious or secular depending on whose interests are being served, a group can be either a religion or an “anti-religious force” as needed in order to create the impression of complying with the establishment clause while actually advancing Christian privile…

Religion Profs Critique PBS’ God Documentary, Call it Simplistic

By Matthew Avery Sutton

…years, PBS—like the history profession as a whole—has caught the religion bug, producing excellent shows on Aimee Semple McPherson, Jim Jones, the Mormons, and now God in America. They should be applauded for their effort. This is not to say that there is not room for criticism. But we need to be fair about what we are criticizing. The transcripts for this entire series are not much longer than the page count of a single academic article. Profess…

If You Were Faced With Him

By Amina Wadud

…n any longer when her baby remains fussy. Still, when you get around these bug-eyed bundles of joy, some of their goodness rubs off. So, even when I say to myself “I must set limits,” I break my word again and again. So, yesterday was one of those days when I felt like I didn’t have a life of my own—despite managing some how to successfully raise five children, mostly as a single parent. I had three stops to make with my youngest daughter, baby in…

Fight to the ‘Death’ and Go ‘Hungry’ at Hunger Games Camp

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…utopian terrariums setting forth ideals for each generation. It’s not just bug juice and mean girls. A Hunger Games camp depoliticizes the ethical point beneath Collins’ brilliant trilogy—that the game is not a game; it’s a trap and a means of control wielded by a dictatorial government. As in the 1980s film War Games, the only way to win is not to play. Hunger Games camp simultaneously makes a political move by normalizing our embodiment of viole…

End-Times Watcher Sees Satan in an Energy Drink

By William R. Black

…o not exist. Two or three people you know fall ill and you say, “There’s a bug going around.” Every time you press the crosswalk button, the sign eventually says “Walk,” so you press the button every time. A colon and a parenthesis become a human face. Conspiracy theorists find clues in airport murals, music videos, and energy drink labels. Social scientists call this associative or magical thinking, and it is part of what makes us human. The impu…

Commentary on Caitlyn Jenner Reveals Fundamentalism’s Abusive Dynamic

By Chrissy Stroop

…r’s transition, it’s become clear that abuse is very much a feature, not a bug, of Christian fundamentalism. I can’t say how Jenner herself may react to the invective being spewed by Burton and many other conservative Christian bloggers, but I can say that attitudes like Burton’s contribute to a climate in which far too many LGBTQ youth commit suicide or end up on the streets. As a former Evangelical ultimately alienated by the ugliness of the cul…

Krapp’s Last Tweet: The Rise (and Fall?) of Privilege in the Digital Economy

By Kevin Healey

…h tailspin. Of course, from a certain perspective, such fears are merely a bug in the system, best removed in the interest of mission efficiency. Such is the legacy of management science, whose history stretches at least as far back as Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 tome The Principles of Scientific Management. In recent years, management techniques have expanded with quasi-religious flair, with Google serving as an exemplary case study. In the w…

Scalia’s (Not Very Catholic, Right Wing) Originalism

By Patricia Miller

…nalism,” the highly controversial doctrine that the Constitution is like a bug entombed in amber, forever frozen in its original meaning to the people of the day. For many, his towering contribution in this arena not only overshadows his devout Catholicism, but overrides it. As Emma Green writes in The Atlantic: His Roman Catholic faith often seemed to lurk in the background of his opinions, especially in cases involving abortion and homosexuality…

The New God-Fearers (FKA “The Nones”) and Where to Find Them

By Carlos Wilton

…in our culture.” Then the millennium turned, and the worm with it. The Y2K bug became the least of pastors’ worries. The steady stream of defections to the “None” column had become undeniable. Pastors like me, who preach weekly and tend our graying flocks, are painfully aware of their absence. Even the big-box, nondenominational preachers at the edge of town—they of the hulking auditoriums and jumbo screens—are noticing the empty seats, once the c…
