Two people on a podium with a board that reads "Project 2025 kills democracy"

Project 2025: How Trump Loyalists and Right-Wing Leaders Are Paving a Fast Road to Fascism

By Peter Montgomery

…first. The Public Eye, Fall 2023/Winter 2024 (Issue 108) “Democracy Under Attack—And How We Fight Back,” examines antidemocratic forces on the Right and pro-democracy efforts to counter them. Inform your resistance: Subscribe now! The presumptive GOP nominee’s 2024 campaign-trail bombast—including promising to be a dictator on “day one,” to “close the border,” and “drill, drill, drill”[1]—is reminiscent of his 2016 campaign’s authoritarian rhetori…

Pat Robertson’s Women Warriors Leading Spiritual Warfare In Zimbabwe

By Sarah Posner

…washing the feet of speakers for that evening’s Women, Weapons of Warfare (WWW) conference. Behind her is a blank movie screen (a reminder that the building once housed the six-theater Old Orchard Cinema) and a panoramic photograph of Bethlehem, flanked by both the Israeli and American flags. The stars of this Stars and Stripes, however, have been replaced with the Ten Commandments. A young woman gently strums a guitar. The dozen or so people in t…

RD News Round-Up—Oct.14, 2008

By Bill Berkowitz

…Marriage On October 10, Connecticut became the third state—after Massachusetts and California—to legalize same-sex marriage. In a 4-3 decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that the state had “failed to establish adequate reason to justify the statutory ban on same-sex marriage.” In its 85-page decision, the justices noted in the majority opinion that they recognized “as the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court did in Goodridge v. Dept. of…

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

By Anthea Butler

…nts that the earthquake is about evil, homosexuality, or Buddha, I went to Twitter and the internet to see what people are saying about God and the earthquake. The bulk of the tweets are about God helping the Japanese, and prayer for the Japanese, but a number of the tweets are weighing in about God either being involved (see also here, and here) or meting out punishment (or refuting this response). Some tweets have also incorporated the Mayan cal…

Why It’s Okay to Criticize Fundamentalist Evangelicals

By Tom Eggebeen

…us, a masochistic love of perceived persecution, Old-Testament militarism, twisting history to support American Exceptionalism, Reconstructionism, a reliance on outlandish promises and miracle stories, pressured conformity, visions of eternal wrath for the “faithless,” and always the temptation to believe “my faith is bigger, better and brighter than your faith; what’s wrong with yours?” Our effort might not win any EvaP friends, but secular intel…

Why Nobody Should Be Surprised That Pope Francis Made Problematic Comments About Judaism — And That He Remains Unapologetic

By Ilan Benattar

…limate change, greater regulation of capitalism, and the fate of refugees attempting to reach Europe. He’s even taken modest steps on more explicit doctrinal issues such as opening certain church leadership roles to women, emphasizing the importance of welcoming LGBTQ individuals into the church (while still, of course, condemning homosexuality), greater flexibility with regard to divorce, and the possibility of relaxing the priesthood’s celibacy…

Pope Francis’ Concern for Jews is Genuine — But Until This Doctrine is Abolished He’ll Have Trouble Convincing Them

By Paul Knitter

…and editor of Crux, John Allen called the whole affair a “kerfuffle” and attempted to smooth it over by scolding the rabbis and critics, and “reminding them” that: “…while Pope Francis may not always express himself with the theological precision some might like, the idea that he’s insensitive to Jews or unconcerned about their fate just doesn’t hold water.” But it was exactly the theological precision of Francis’s words that upset the rabbis! Th…

How Do We Talk About Islam After Charlie Hebdo?

By Asma Afsaruddin

…Islam is indeed on a collision course with the West (and vice versa), the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris served to do just that. Add to that the continuous carnage being wreaked by the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (or Da‘ish) under the banner of a revived “caliphate” and there can be little doubt, it seems, that Muslims are increasingly devolving into killing machines motivated by blind rage. Such a phenomenon is furthermore underst…

Colbert v. Stewart: It’s On! 10.30.10

By Julie Ingersoll

“I Disagree With You but I’m Pretty Sure You’re Not Hitler.” This is one of the posters promised when Jon Stewart made his “big announcement” last night. Stewart and the Daily Show will host the “Rally to Restore Sanity,” 10.30.10 on the Washington Mall. In a hilarious parody of Glenn Beck, Stewart urges moderates to join him for “a Million Moderate March,” suggesting that a small minority of Americans have taken the public discussion hostage b…

Pseudo-Historian David Barton in the Times and on The Daily Show

By Julie Ingersoll

…d a great multipart analysis here. Rather than explore the disagreements between the “self taught historian” and “professional historians” who “dismiss Mr. Barton, whose academic degree is in Christian education,” the Times treated Barton and the world of scholars who’ve devoted their lives to disciplined historical analysis as though their analyses are of equal weight and that we should just pick the one that best comports with our larger view of…
