High Holidays Watch: Seth Rogen’s Latest Highlights the ‘American Pickle’ of Living with Death

By Shaul Magid

Warning: Spoilers ahead I dare say that nobody decides to watch the new Seth Rogen film An American Pickle as inspiration for the High Holidays. Like most people, my wife and I viewed it as a much needed diversion from the combination of a global pandemic and the heated political climate. Plus, I just like Seth Rogen.

…ed on verses from president Obama and former president Bush. The tour is a promotional-commemoration for Zondervan, a hybrid event that is part product launch, part self-congratulations.

…t-of-control woman. God wouldn’t have her discard her marriage in order to promote the domestic abuse issue or any other phony cause,” Rev. Peterson said. 6) In support of a controversial statement by Newt Gingrich: “Many black women have had babies out of wedlock and passed that on to their daughters that if they have babies out of wedlock, they’ll get food stamps, free houses and your rent paid,” Peterson said. 7) On Katrina: “about five years a…

QAnon Didn’t Just Spring Forth From the Void — It’s the Latest From a Familiar Movement

By Adam Willems

…tax-exempt status from any group “which has a substantial interest in the promotion of… power derived from evil spirits.” I want that in every US History textbook. This is your Congress! This is who we let make laws! In the year 1985, the entirety of the US Senate was like, “Oh sure, we’re not going to fund Satan.” The idea that tax brackets are going to eliminate witches— Yeah, that’s how you do it! You know, like garlic or daylight for vampires…

By Sarah Riccardi-Swartz

…his is exactly what the OCA intends to do with academics, according to its latest encyclical. Totalitarianism, authoritarianism, fearful purity partitioning—we could call this latest move by the OCA hierarchy many things. One thing is certain, however: In allowing Christian nationalism and reactionary traditionalism to gain a foothold in the OCA, the Bishops have seemingly made themselves vulnerable to the contagion of far-right politics, a toxic…

Other documents similarly challenged traditional narratives, adding fuel to a growing fire over how to handle the faith’s past. No d…

The Latest Suspicious Ex-Muslim

By Hussein Rashid

This summer I wrote about “the only good Christians are ex-Muslims” as an industry amongst evangelical communities. But that’s just one segment of the industry. It seems there is a new rising star amongst the ex-Muslims and, like his antecedents, his story is highly dubious. I.Q. Al-Rassooli is being touted as the newest ex-Muslim speaker. A short look at his brief bio reveals many of the same problems that earlier professional converts have had….

It Depends What You Mean By “Religious”: Latest Poll Says More About Us Than Candidates

By Nancy T. Ammerman

A new poll from the Pew Research Center tells us, predictably enough, that Americans generally like their presidents to be “religious,” and that about half (more Republicans than Democrats) want someone who shares their religious beliefs. Indeed, people who rated a candidate as “religious” were also likely to say that person would be a good president. Sounds clear enough—but is it? The poll also confirmed that not believing in God is the single b…
