“Muslim Gospel” Revealing the “Christian Truth” Excites the Da Vinci Code Set

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…he drama of misrecognition in the GBarn continues in its account of his trial, culminating with an account of the crucifixion in which Judas ironically deems God’s judgment unjust: Whereupon they condemned two robbers with him to the death of the cross. So they led him to Mount Calvary, where they used to hang malefactors, and there they crucified him naked, for the greater ignominy. Judas truly did nothing else but cry out: ‘God, why hast thou fo…

The Internets Own Your Religion

By Hussein Rashid

…nting access to use of the domain. For example, would nuns invested in social justice be allowed to register under “.catholic”? In the case of Muslims, we don’t know who is registering these gTLD and to what purpose. Although their application says it’s for people interested in Islam, will they allow anyone to register? Does that include people from the Islamophobia Industry? Or the Ahmadiyya community? Turkey, which is a predominately Sunni coun…

Until the World Laughs with God

By Nathan Schneider

…itnessing the rise of a new, global, internet-savvy Hindu anger-class—a vocal minority willing to take every pretense as an opportunity for divinely-inspired outrage. Such cliques have already come to dominate the public faces of Islam and evangelical Christianity, ensuring that media coverage of these religions makes them appear universally devoted to effigy-burning and death-threatening. So far, Hindu extremism has been confined to the context o…

Watching Preachers’ Daughters Right After the Boston Bombings While Teaching a Class on Augustine’s Confessions

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…lection on moral behavior did not have such a lazy habit of turning potentially important conversations into reductive taxonomies—good bodies and bad bodies, dirty acts and pure acts, flesh and spirit, those in authority and those under authority. I think that tendency has hurt people, and I think it’s implicated in rape culture. And that matters: this is not an interesting little theological problem for specialists to rub their chins over and try…

Is Criticizing Mitt Romney an Excommunicable Offense? No.

By Joanna Brooks

…ability to persecution from and misunderstanding by outsiders, the historical value assigned to secrecy when Mormon lifeways were under threat and from the US government in the nineteenth century, the ceremonial value of secrecy in LDS temple settings, and strong LDS regard for institutional hierarchy. The questions and feelings stirred up by David Twede’s impending Church court are profound beyond partisan politics. This certainly isn’t about Mit…

Meet the ‘Bronze Age Zionists’ — Far-Right Jews Embracing Fascism in the Wake of October 7

By Ben Lorber

…ly into the nature of contemporary Zionism but into the broader far-right. Mimicking Bronze Age Pervert, the fascist manosphere author from whom I’ve forged their namesake, Bronze Age Zionists valorize the aesthetics of Jewish muscle, strength, virility, and warrior ethos with deliberately extravagant flair. Memes from this ecosystem show ripped, White Hebrew warriors roaring alongside a lion; wooing Roman women in some ancient marketplace; hangin…

“What’s the Relationship of Technology to God?”: A Q&A with Wired Co-Founder Kevin Kelly

By Shannon Trosper Schorey

…ay the plant wants light, the technium has certain wants as well. The digital internet exhibits many lifelike patterns, even though none of the pieces are living, so I’m looking at it much more from a systems point of view. You once named media theorist Marshall McLuhan the “patron saint of Wired.” How has he influenced your understanding of technology? I have to say I have never been able to read very much of McLuhan. I think actually that’s part…

Jesus Goes to the Dark Carnival: Hell House Gets a Makeover?

By W. Scott Poole

…ction, to “show participants the consequences of choosing the gift of eternal salvation… as well as experiencing a small part of the separation from God in hell that is the consequence of rejecting that same gift.” Although the Judgement House scripts do make a conscious effort to avoid the language of the culture wars, the symbols are still present and powerful. One of their scripts entitled “Home of the Brave, Land of the Free” tells a story of…

Transforming Sports Culture: Sochi and the NFL

By Darnell Moore

…workers are also trying to help uncover the stories of everyday life—material realities, real-time experiences of discrimination, the role of institutions in the lives of LGBTQI people—that are often invisible. For example, Milene Larsson, writer and host of the recent Young and Gay in Putin’s Russia documentary, was recently interviewed on CNN’s Global Public Square Blog. Larsson reporting on the state of young LGBTQI people in Russia stated the…

Why We Won’t Let Jonestown (Or 9/11 or Sandy Hook) Die

By Kelsey Osgood

…, suffering from diminished economic resources, experiencing rampant internal conflict, or having shaky social solidarity,” as Professor Neil J. Smesler writes in his contribution to the volume, “is more trauma-prone than others that are more solid in these respects.” Jonestown was, of course, an American cultural trauma, though it can be hard to conceive it as such given the more largely looming legacies of slavery, the Holocaust, and September 1…
