How We Got to Super: Grant Morrison’s Visionary Gnosticism

By Jeffrey J. Kripal

…nd beyond the space-time grid. Gnostics indeed. They just happen to be expressing their revelations through comics and sci-fi novels instead of scriptural commentary and spiritual treatises: theirs is a secret hidden in plain sight. Through their popular works of fantasy and the highly technical parapsychological literatures that preceded them, the supernatural has morphed into the supernormal, and finally into the superhero. The paranormal has be…

The Bleeding Heart of Muslim Europe

By Haroon Moghul

…beneath us, a tiny strip of buildings unfortunately planted in a helpless valley, walled off by the huge mountains that brought it the Winter Olympics in 1984 (Sarajevo, then Communist, still has the distinction of being the only Muslim-majority city to host an Olympics) and then, under a decade later, its near-ruin. Serb forces took those same heights in 1992, initiating the longest siege in the history of modern warfare. The city’s residents wer…

Rick Perry and the New Apostolic Reformation

By Sarah Posner

…t. Foundational to NAR beliefs are spiritual warfare and dominion over social ills. These beliefs were influenced in part by two English authors, Smith Wigglesworth and Jessie Penn Lewis, who wrote extensively on spiritual warfare, and were read avidly by some early Pentecostals. Their books, still in print today, focused on demonic possession, deliverance, and powerful spiritual encounters. In the 1940s the movement that would give these beliefs…

Glenn Beck’s Fox Show Gets Canned

By Lauri Lebo

…p as we work with him in his new role.” “Glenn Beck” is consistently the third highest rated program on cable news. For the 27 months that “Glenn Beck” has aired on Fox News, the program has averaged more than 2.2 million total viewers and 563,000 viewers 25-54 years old, numbers normally associated with shows airing in primetime, not at 5pm. “Glenn Beck” has dominated all of its cable news competitors since launch….

The Most Embarrassing Losers Ever?

By Sarah Posner

…Obama is a Christian. The Tea Party is 20 percentage points behind, but still. Really? Suddenly there is some fretting that the Tea Party has overtaken the GOP of white shoes and golf courses, of well-mannered Episcopalians and Georgetown cocktail parties. Joe Klein, who has covered nine presidential campaigns, believes the candidates in this one to have gone completely off the rails in their efforts to appeal to the Tea Party fever swamp: I have…

2010: What Did We Believe In?

By Gary Laderman

…create jobs for the good of the American economy? The aftermath of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will surely answer that question thanks to lobbyists and politicians who have adopted the unequivocal motto: drill baby drill. Screw the environment, we have jobs to create, profits to trickle down, and enemies to vanquish—even if the efficacy of each of those approaches is dubious. Let’s let Sarah Palin take the lead on this one, and pray tha…

Catholics Talk About Sex

By Kate Ott

…nions.” Across the country, others have found room within their institutional values to provide comprehensive sexual health information. The University of San Francisco Health Promotion Services and Loyola University Chicago provide information about contraception and STI prevention. Georgetown University allows H*yas for Choice to provide information and condoms to students in Red Square, a “free speech zone” on campus. These institutions are in…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…heir failed coup of 1923. But he doesn’t have to at this point to make the parallel more obvious—because Ashli Babbitt has long become a martyr of the movement, as Jeff Sharlet has shown, as have the still-living insurrectionists behind bars (who can, conveniently, still record propaganda songs). It was a moment that took the new Trumpist version of the Lost Cause—i.e., the “Stolen Election,” which functions as the Trumpist “stab in the back” myth…

The Quiet Part is Very Much Out Loud: Conservative Publication Calls For Embrace of Totalitarianism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…a Meloni school—a conservatism that values localism, sovereignty, the natural family, and religion, and that is anti-woke and market-oriented, but sees the market as necessarily limited by a broader conception of the common good. And, crucially, this is a pro-family right-wing governing program that is not afraid to use the power of the state to push its own priorities.” Again, Dreher is firmly rooted in the conservative mainstream of today, as is…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…rginalized group as predators accomplishes two things: it demonizes them while also portraying the accuser’s intentions as pure: “it’s all about protecting the children.” Of course, it also endangers the group—because generally, most people would like horrible things to happen to those who harm children. This is the same rhetoric used against Democrats by QAnon, whose followers believe that a global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles runs the w…
