Amid Reality-TV Gimmicks and Xenophobic Rhetoric, Trump’s SOTU Appeals to Evangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

…Sgt. 1st Class Townshend Williams, and awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to right-wing radio charlatan Rush Limbaugh, whose advanced lung cancer diagnosis does nothing to erase his substantial contributions to the destruction of America’s information ecosystem. Trump’s appreciation for post-truth bluster and militarism are certainly among the characteristics that endear him to the Christian Right. And while he remains most in his element…

Less for Moore? If Russell Moore Left the SBC Due to Conscience and Convictions His Next Move Is a Curious One

By Chrissy Stroop

…osted by Mahaney as recently as April. Thus, Moore’s acceptance of a pastor-in-residence position at Immanuel Church in Nashville, given its leadership’s chumminess with Mahaney, has caught the eye of evangelical and exvangelical abuse survivor advocates, who are calling the move out as hypocritical. One of those advocates is Emily Joy Allison, a poet who launched the #ChurchToo hashtag and more recently published the book #ChurchToo: How Purity C…

What Fundamentalist Christian Fiction Can Teach Us About Our American Crisis

By Christopher Douglas

…range sub-genre known as the “gospel thriller”—in which the discovery of a new first-century gospel about Jesus seems to threaten the Bible’s sacred power.

Other authors, including Susan Harding and Ray Horton, ponder how we sh…

Why Has the Critique of Hypocrisy Run Out of Steam?

By Christopher Douglas

…uestioning the premise of what was called, in another context, “the reality-based community.” The critique of hypocrisy has run out of steam for a similar reason. The higher and shared moral principles on which the critique of hypocrisy rests are wielded by bad faith actors who do not themselves share the principles. Like knowledge and facts themselves in our post-truth era, moral principles derive from group identity. For many conservatives, know…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

…f_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F06%2F23%2Fpolitics%2Fmike-huckabee-ms13-pelosi%2Findex.html As many on social media pointed out, this is a classic dehumanization strategy—take a blameworthy sub-group like MS-13 and conflate them with a larger group, such as migrants coming from Mexico and other parts of Central and South America. This is part of a larger degeneration of our public sphere into tribal epistemology, as David Roberts outlined…

“Tell Me What You Believe About Ferguson, and I’ll Tell You What You Believe About God”: A Missouri Pilgrimage

By Anita Little

…n’t match the rest of the pavement. This is because the original 160 square-feet patch, permanently stained by Brown’s blood, was removed and repaved roughly two years ago at the request of his family. They didn’t want people casually driving over the site of their son’s crucifixion. Sacred ground Earlier in the day, our group had stopped at the Cahokia Mounds. The most complex archaeological site north of Mexico, the Mounds were once part of a na…

From Licking Floors to Praying for an Inept Government, Churches React to C-19

By Daniel Schultz

…will come through all our troubles in hope.” Other Christians seem less pro-social, let us say. Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne, a Tampa Bay televangelist, equated changing habits in an effort to “flatten the course” with weakness, declaring that his congregation wouldn’t adjust their behavior in worship because they weren’t “pansies.” https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch/status/1239267305730736130 Others are willing to go some lengths to show they just…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

…Americans continue to unpack the January 6 insurrection that now even soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell admits was “provoked” by President Donald Trump. On January 16, NBC political analyst Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “#whereweretheyradicalized is a question we’re going to be asking of GOP lawmakers at federal and state/local levels for many, many years to come, sadly,” adding that the answer would lie primarily in “a combo of Fox/OANN/N…

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…Kinzinger reached a line he could not cross in what he portrays as a faith-based commitment to truth, doesn’t mean he’s willing to treat the disease that racks the Christian Right and the Republican Party, as opposed to merely the symptoms. Indeed, it doesn’t even mean he’s not himself infected. Kinzinger represents himself as different from his relatives, calling them “brainwashed” by their churches, according to the Times’ reporting. He seems t…

“Far Too Extreme For America To Accept,” Hamas “Endorsed Obama,” “Forced Abortions,” and More

By Sarah Posner

…. One 2008 NRT ad against Obama, filled with outright falsehoods and smoke-and-mirrors innuendo, was pronounced “despicable and wrong” by the Cato’s Institute Jim Harper. Earlier this year — using the same phony terrorism scares and anti-Muslim fearmongering — the NRT was behind an anti-Park51 campaign. Wheeler, who claimed to have brought the “monstrous 13-story mosque” to America’s attention, demanded in a fundraising appeal, “we need to ask De…
