Where are the Clergy? A Report from Occupy DC

By Sarah Posner

…ervices products that were central to the catastrophic economic collapse of 2008.) Actions with Consequences In the main, the sign listing the Occupy DC goals was heavier on wonkery than anarchism; albeit laden with some highly generalized goals (“foist off the corporate hijacking of society and politics!”). Merritt questioned why religious groups motivated by “social justice,” the term used by progressive church types and maligned by Glenn Beck,…

With This Thanksgiving Bombshell SCOTUS Began Implementation of an Ultraconservative Agenda

By Andrew L. Seidel

…the case. Too much. Religious worship isn’t like walking into the grocery store to pick up food or a hardware store to grab a repair kit and leaving a few minutes later. It’s not even like walking into a liquor store. People don’t walk into liquor stores and sit in the aisles next to each other and sing and chant for 90 minutes. Nor do they all arrive at the same time and leave at the same time, because the store is only open for one shopping ses…

Civil Rights’ Roughneck Preacher, Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth (1922-2011)

By Anthea Butler

…, 1963—that was a real badge of courage. While recovering in the hospital, store owners sought a moratorium on street protests, and King along with some other local leaders told the store owners and governmental officials that he would accept the compromise and stop the demonstrations. Shuttlesworth wasn’t having it. He said “Go ahead and call it off.… When I see it on TV, that you have called it off, I will get up out of this, my sickbed, with wh…

The New Disciples: Report from South Carolina

By Sarah Posner

…the back room of Cornerstone Christian and Music Supply, an expansive box store of instruments, music, and books, on a stretch of rural highway about 20 miles west of Greenville. She’s teaching on “how to be Christ-like,” because, she contends, the end-times are near. These self-anointed “intercessors,” or “end-times warriors,” see themselves as modern-day apostles and prophets, purifying the kingdom, “transforming” cities, regions, and the count…

Fact-Checking Ben Carson’s Pyramid-ism Misses the Point

By Michael Schulson

…d to store dead pharaohs. Ben Carson thinks that the pyramids were used to store grain. Carson is wrong. But to simply point out that he’s wrong is to miss the point. Carson’s error isn’t an isolated counter-scientific blip in the Sea of Facts that is a presidential election. Instead, it’s an unusual, and therefore unusually revealing, artifact of the strange fact-space in which American elections take place. The one guarantee in this election is…

“Let’s Get in Formation”: Beyoncé’s Spiritual Call for Black Resistance

By Yazmine Nichols

…nspeakable deaths. In one scene, a black man break-dances in a convenience store. Beyoncé’s audience does not need to be reminded that Michael Brown was accused of stealing from a local convenience store and was shot in the back because—according to Officer Darren Wilson—he resembled a “demon.” Beyoncé transforms Brown’s supposed crime into a celebration of black dance. The man dancing in the convenience store affirms the spirit of slain black you…

The Man Who Hoarded 17,000 Bottles of Sanitizer Did Nothing Wrong ― And That’s the Problem

By Daniel Schultz

…us to accept as business as usual. Steal some cigarettes from the tobacco store, and you go to jail. Steal the whole store, and they call you a philanthropist and eventually give you a pardon. Try to sell some legally purchased cigarettes on the street, and the cops just might choke you to death. Capitalism’s all fun until the little guys start to take it seriously. Then it’s a problem, because it shows off like a naked lunch just how vicious the…

Silver Bells and Atheist Billboards

By Steve A. Wiggins

…plans, and financial security (more or less). It is the way of the market. Why are they playing “Silver Bells” when I step into the Port Authority? Does it not loosen the tightness of my purse strings and make me want to spend? To buy? To consume? Is that the Wired store over there? With the billboard still dazzling my eyes, I can nevertheless see clearly. Yes, 37 million Americans know myths when they see them. That’s because we live in one. Our…

Global Anti-Gay Forces Plot Against ‘Satanic’ Equality Movement

By Peter Montgomery

…parliament within a year. The current government came to power in February 2013. Star singer Anna Vissi said she had come “with much love to take part in Cyprus first gay pride”. Some sections of Cypriot society still consider homosexuality taboo, and the island’s conservative Orthodox Church has described it as an “illness which needs treatment”. A delegation headed by the Bishop of Tamassos presented a petition to the Presidential Palace earlie…

“Tell Me What You Believe About Ferguson, and I’ll Tell You What You Believe About God”: A Missouri Pilgrimage

By Anita Little

…est rate of police killings per population in the nation based on data from 2013 to 2017. Of the 28 people killed in police encounters in that four year period, 23 were black. And shortly before our trip, the NAACP issued its first ever travel advisory for black people headed to Missouri over heightened police tensions and discrimination. Last month, when former police officer Jason Stockley was acquitted on charges of murdering black motorist Ant…
