With This Thanksgiving Bombshell SCOTUS Began Implementation of an Ultraconservative Agenda

…eally bad. At one point in South Korea, half of the country’s cases were traced back to religious worship. That’s because churches are different from liquor stores or bike repair shops or even a one-on-one acupuncture appointment. They’re more like going to a movie, or taking in a play, or listening to a lecture, or watching an indoor sporting event. All of those were banned under the New York orders that the churches were complaining about. Churc…

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

…of the priestess throughout, and a zealous male plays the figure of the black preacher should not be overlooked. These two figures are the heart of the black community. Black women have always been healers and “sha-women.” Black women have always possessed power and wielded it in unconventional ways. Black women and black men—like the gods of the African pantheon—find relief in androgyny. Beyoncé the priestess is possessing us—much like her ances…

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

…ioned 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 viciou…

…, died this week at the age of 89. Shuttlesworth was called the cussing preacher, but his fiery preaching and willingness to put his body on the line countless times made him the warrior of the Civil Rights movement.

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

…’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 that every candidate will say a lot of stuff that seems false, inauthentic, or out of touch with your basic understanding of the cosmos. They’ll try to convince us that they enjoy grilling pig meat in Iowa, and act as if they love nothing better than to schmooze with strangers in rural N…

The New Disciples: Report from South Carolina

…ir prayers can save the unsaved, and, in turn, the nation. Jesus is the panacea. The 2012 presidential primary is just one little blip in their quest to ready the nation for a Great Awakening. The national press focuses on the most visible activists, the ones who appear to be driving the candidates to pander to their issues and worldviews. They look to the meeting of evangelical leaders in Texas, local megachurch pastors, or local power brokers li…

Silver Bells and Atheist Billboards

…… Seminaries crave academic respectability. Respectability follows on from accreditation. Accreditation requires educated educators—the Association of Theological Schools of the United States and Canada, the main seminary accrediting body, likes to see PhDs on the faculty roster. Most doctoral programs require critical thinking capabilities, and critical thinking frequently calls the foundations of faith into question. A vicious cycle whirls more…

The Theodicy of George Carlin

…d with ersatz conversations and political props. There is no cultural literacy, no civic literacy. There are no serious late night debates, no complex solutions to public problems. A land of “infotainment” makes for disinformation and lousy entertainment. Whereas the freethinker and the comic once shared a tour schedule and booking agent, now they are bifurcated by genre and accessibility. Both are degraded by the absence of the other, as the ques…

Pop-Eye: Meat The Wrestler

…he meat section at a box store in Jersey. Randy’s movement through the the store’s back corridors are accompanied by Aronofsky’s signature handheld, closed-in camera, as the sounds of The Ram’s entrance into the wrestling arena echo in non-diegetic chorus with Randy’s entry into the deli counter. In The Wrestler, the wrestling ring meets the deli counter: the wrestler as meat meets meat. You can read, and probably already have, the reviews praisin…

To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise

…gious themes that valorized individuality; particularly the importance of each person’s unique access to God and responsibility for his own salvation. Not surprisingly, alongside the teaching of (Christian) service and free enterprise, college business programs also taught students to be wary of government encroachments in the form of taxes, regulations, or oversight. But these same programs gladly took government aid and encouraged students to us…
