By Hialy Gutierrez

…alse understanding of the world. We must articulate a vision of the world that reflects what it means to be a human being in community. And education can allow us to envision and articulate that vision. So, everyone should have access to that more liberatory education. And it’s possible to fund and resource that access! We know the resources are there, right? They’re just there in the hands of the Robert Mercers and the Charles Kochs of the world….

Despite Conflation of Israel with Judaism, Anti-Zionism is More Kosher Than You Think

By Seth Sanders

…ven desirable? If it is true, as Marc Tracy writes in the New York Times, that “[i]n 2024, anti-Zionism is the closest thing organized Judaism has to heresy,” then for most of Jewish history it may have been closer to the opposite. For 2000 years Jewish prayer has hoped ardently that the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) would soon be redeemed by God and led by His Messiah; some even made pilgrimage to visit or dwell with others in the Holy Land. But…

Did Romney Cynically Cite His Mormon Faith for Impeachment Vote as Critics Claim?

By Daniel Schultz

…im even in Utah, a red state where the president is uncommonly unpopular. What that means for his reelection prospects, the senator couldn’t say. (He doesn’t have to face voters again until 2024.) But as he thought about it, another hymn came to mind. “Do what is right; let the consequence follow,” he recited. “And I don’t know what all the consequences will be.” Trump and his defenders got on high pissy-face about that. “I don’t like people who u…

‘Have a Blessed Day’ May Not Be a Sign of Christian Nationalism, But it’s Not Innocuous Either

By Chrissy Stroop

…r faith) rather than empathize with a non-Christian woman who understands what they refuse to see—that, in context, being wished a blessed day is an expression of Christian dominance, however minor. Were they to respond to my argument, I imagine they would claim that I am the one undermining pluralism by taking issue with the phrase “have a blessed day” by making a big deal out of a small thing that isn’t malicious in intent. And there’s the rub….

By Thomas Lecaque

…voy donations for example, in the comment box, have the word God in them. That is 13,211 cells, and that is a single keyword search, and a limited one. An even 100 contain two of the most prominent and easily searchable QAnon slogans, with 87 using WWG1WGA, and 13 spelling out Where We Go One We Go All.

Pray Vote Stand 2022 Kicks Off With Some Head-Scratchers on Predictable Topics

By PRA Staff

…coerced abortion cannot be the total banning of abortion care. Data shows that it is in fact coerced pregnancy that traps pregnant people and their children in cycles of poverty and abuse. It is coerced pregnancy that keeps pregnant people from accessing educational and professional opportunities. After the Hard Questions have been answered thusly, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, an anti-LGBT, anti-trans, anti-abortion children’s advocacy o…

It’s Time for Democrats to Read the Bible Verses on the Wall and Stop Courting White Evangelicals

By Ryan Burge

…t least a third of adherents support family separation on the border, and that’s white evangelicals. It may have been the case two decades ago that larger shares of white evangelicals could have been convinced to back a moderate Democrat in an election. But religious sorting is real and most evangelicals who didn’t align with the Republicans have left the pews. Those that are left are more religiously and politically conservative than ever before….

Retribution v. Reform in American Justice

By Jennifer Graber

…veral times. I thought all Christians did that sort of thing. Finding out that I was wrong about that, including the fact that there were Christians who supported capital punishment [see related blog post: “Does Religion Justify the Murder of Troy Davis?” —ed.], prompted all sorts of questions for me. Second, the historic jail in downtown Pittsburgh. On a tour of the facility, I was told that the jail was modeled on earlier Pennsylvania penal inst…
