The ‘Freedom Convoy’ is Inspired by a Biblical Account of Divine Massacre: Welcome to the Jericho March

By Thomas Lecaque

…0.’” Viganò added: “We know many heads of state have participated in Klaus Schwab’s School for Young Leaders — the so-called Global Leaders for Tomorrow — beginning with Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, Jacinta Ardern and Boris Johnson and, before that, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair.” We should worry “The Great Reset” is an explicitly anti-public health conspiracy theory. Viganò has promoted it relentlessly. It’s also used by an…

Constitutional Attorney Changes into Drag During Talk on Cancelation of West Texas A&M Drag Show

By Chrissy Stroop

…aration of church and state in US constitutional law, Seidel moved on to discuss the Christian Right’s abuse of these key concepts. He noted how the weaponization of “religious freedom” as a bludgeon for Christian supremacy, in tandem with the Right’s successful scheme to stack the federal courts with Christian nationalist ideologues, is pushing the United States backwards on civil rights. Seidel also addressed the history and significance of drag…

Rage Against the New Age Machine: Three Days at the Osho International Meditation Resort

By Diane Winston

…tly videos of Osho’s rambling, racist and misogynist lectures, I felt like screaming. So I did. I screamed at the Welcome Center and the registrar left the couple to take care of me. I screamed at the Orientation Center, and the staffers asked what I needed, I screamed at the woman sent to calm me down, and she promised help soon. Why was I feeling so much anger? I was jetlagged, check. I felt hassled, check. My brother was still dead, check. But…

NPR “Ex-Gay” Report Neither “Fair” Nor “Balanced”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…people for “therapies” that can destroy them psychologically, while buying tickets to Toscano’s shows might result in some good belly laughs, but no pressure to convert. What makes this story so shameful, though, is how the true message is completely glossed over in the pursuit of finding out who is “right” and who is “wrong.” Both Wyler and Toscano are Christian men who were given the message early on in their lives that being gay or lesbian was…

Huckabee Channels Rushdoony

By Julie Ingersoll

…history that makes organizations like Vision Forum so effective among homeschoolers. Rather than being lost in the mundane trials of everyday life, Christian homeschoolers, and believers who embrace this vision of history, find themselves at the center of the plans of Almighty God, building “multi-generational faithfulness”; a moving and heady experience, no doubt. On the Daily Show, Huckabee responded to Stewart’s charge that Barton is a theolog…

Is Joel Osteen, Success Mag Cover Boy, Really “God’s Best”?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…reduced to a kind of majordomo or personal assistant. He fixeth my parking tickets, he secureth me a good table in the restaurant, he leadeth me to book contracts. Even in these minor tasks, the invocation of God seems more of a courtesy than a necessity.” Gone, too, from Osteen’s theology is any mention of topics that might intrude on happy thoughts: Osteen avoids using current events in his messages so he doesn’t get sidetracked in controversy….

I Miss Tina Fey

By Julie Ingersoll

…ly 80 empty seats, and it was clear that some number of attendees had free tickets. The largest financial supporter of the event was a local news/talk radio station and its representatives were the only media allowed in. As I arrived with my Religion Dispatches press badge they stopped me before I even got to the door. I chatted with an AP reporter and he said AP had been trying for weeks to gain media access—but that he was there to see if he cou…

Niqab and Short Shorts

By Hussein Rashid

…of protest is to wear the niqab and nothing else. Then, the women will get tickets, not for being nude, but for being clothed. In my opinion, that would show the absolute absurdity of the state trying to control women’s dress. I have written elsewhere that this sort of action, of controlling a woman’s body, is simply male penis worship run amok. These ladies, who call themselves Niqabitches, have done a great service in showing the inherent contra…

Answers in Genesis Seeks Tax Breaks for New Theme Park

By Lauri Lebo

…ntives would be unconstitutional in that it would involve excessive entanglement with religion. “The larger question is should the state be promoting a religious enterprise like this—especially one that only serves to dumb down science education in the state. It’s a sad comment on our times that states are so desperate for jobs that they will align with an enterprise like this that elevates a blind adherence to biblical literalism over accepted sc…

Everything You Think You Know About the Dark Ages is Wrong

By Nancy Marie Brown

…time around the year 1000, it did exist. In the course of my quest to discover The Scientist Pope, I visited the cathedral of Saint John the Lateran in Rome, where his marble tombstone now hangs on a pillar in the right aisle. Pope Sergius IV, who had been Gerbert’s papal librarian, wrote his epitaph. It reads, in part: “The emperor, Otto III, to whom he was always faithful and devoted, loved him greatly and offered him this church of Rome. The…
