By Sarah Posner

…g institutions that his THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS might stop buying their two-by-fours. Lowes looks even more ridiculous for backing down under Caton’s pressure given how his track record is actually pretty pathetic. Last year, Caton’s minions flooded the University of South Florida with emails protesting the teaching of queer theory. USF, as it should have, ignored them. In 2008, Caton recorded a robocall against a Democratic challenger for a seat…

On the Personhood Ohio website, meanwhile, there are implica…

…n Isidro basilica in Leon, Spain for the past week, in order to see a 2,000-year-old ebony cup that has been dubbed the original chalice of Christ. The crowds got so heavy, in fact, that the vessel was removed from display. But there are pictures of it all over the news. It looks like this: My first thought upon seeing photos of this ancient relic was, That can’t be right. It doesn’t look like that. My second thought was, Why do I think I know w…

Syria and the American Apocalyptic Imagination: Isaiah 17:1 as “Evidence” of the End

By Jason C. Bivins

…gthy history—resonates with peculiar intensity in the age of virality, Wiki-truth, and the triumph of feeling. In these furiously retweeted exegeses about Damascus, “religion” is announces a different order of valuation, not so much abandoning the possibility or legitimacy of military action, or relinquishing altogether any claims to membership in society, so much as grounding any of these conversations in a different raft of evidence: texts and f…

Trump Smashing Religious Right Formula to Bits

By Sarah Posner

…aign. Just as Trump appeals to voters who say they are tired of politicians-as-usual, he appeals to voters weary of theo-politicking as usual. No more false piety. No more favorite Bible verses. Let’s go straight for a bellicose, xenophobic, nationalist id. Unlike his “weak” rivals, Trump isn’t afraid to deliver the “truth” about Muslims. As I wrote back in August, Trump has exposed rifts within the religious right, and that continues to be true….
