Religious Right Historian: Net Neutrality is “Unbiblical Socialism”

…ant to give FCC the authority to tell people who actually provide the internet [again, they don’t provide the internet, only access to it] what they can and can’t do with it. Now, what people like yourself and myself mean is no government interference; it’s pretty straightforward. Republicans and conservatives have always tried to keep the internet totally free. But of course we know they have not tried to keep it totally free, except in the very…

News Flash from World Net Daily: Easter is Pagan Holiday

…rs. Joe Kovacs, the executive director of the Christian news website World Net Daily, has penned a column arguing that Easter has roots in paganism. So, in addition to revealing that he is clueless about his own religious holidays (he’s only figuring this out now?), he also displays a stunning lack of consistency: The very first commandment of the Big Ten is perhaps one of the most overlooked in everyday life. In just eight words, it states: “Thou…

When Religion Becomes a Trap Rather Than a Safety Net

…ks’s protagonist, a young girl trapped rather than supported by the safety net religion is supposed to supply, trying desperately to acquire some security despite parents who repeatedly put her in harm’s way. Ricks’s memoir inspired students to begin writing themselves; some of their short memoirs are compiled in a collection called We Are Absolutely Not Okay.

Lo and Behold, the Sacredness of the Internet

…of a positive future for humanity it often begins to look like the interplanetary human existence proposed by Elon Musk. But does the story of the internet need to be told with all these religious resonances? A visit to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California (down the street from the Googleplex) uses thousands of objects to tell the story of computers and information technology. The museum presents the development of technology a…

The “Southern Cage”: How the Myth of the Redemptive Depression Keeps Blacks at the Margins

…churches had been doing as they had helped patch together a limited safety net in the early twentieth century. Many southern cities did not offer municipal relief. Instead, denominations and municipalities provided institutional care: poorhouses, hospitals, settlement houses, orphanages, and so forth—all of them segregated, with far more resources for whites than for blacks. Local churches sometimes helped people with food, clothing, and fuel. At…

Single, But Married To Jesus

…the economic spectrum; however, the majority of them have five dollars of net worth in the bank, trust Jesus, and hope that a man who is like “The Pastor” will emerge when the doors of the church open. Despite my sarcasm, I can tell you that this is the story in many a black church on Sunday morning. So before Steve Harvey and any of that jackleg, scripture-spouting, church-hoppin’, marriage-worshipping crowd starts to talk about how I am a hater…

Fix the Economy GOD’$ WAY: Dave Ramsey’s Great Christian Recovery

…eft, and persists in schemes to privatize all aspects of the social safety net. Echoing the Tea Party caucus, Ramsey denies the grave implications of the debt-limit ceiling, assuring his Twitter followership that the government will still function (and who needs all those Cabinet Departments anyway?). The irony, of course, is that those who most preach “personal responsibility” seem content for the nation to renege on its own national responsibili…

Can I Get Some Birth Control Pills With That Slushie?: Unpacking the Contraceptive Mandate Rollback

…leged white women usually have another option available even if the safety net isn’t there. Women of color, LGBTQ women, undocumented women, and low-income or rural women are the main ones who suffer from legislation like this because they had so few options to begin with.

Paul Ryan Is Like Jesus, But It’s Not What You Think

…available to everybody and becomes popular. We should always have a safety net. Health care should always be accessible, basic health care always. But it should be available as a safety net, not as a general lifestyle that almost discourages people from seeking real human flourishing. The budget deal won’t make these arguments go away. Paul Ryan Jesus-ing the deal through Congress won’t end discussion of his claims that his views are in line with…
