The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

There is an old Hungarian Jewish proverb that says, “antisemitism is when gentiles hate Jews too much.” The underlying assumption, of course, is that the gentile always hates the Jew; antisemitism* is only when that hatred becomes overt. Most American Jews today may not quite believe that, but the assumption surfaces again when cases of Jew-hatred arise—and especially in the weaponizing of accusations of antisemitism. In a piercing essay on the c…

The Failure to Focus on — And Yes, to ‘Cancel’ — Right Wing Antisemitism is a Problem

Earlier this month, amid increasing death threats, the synagogue of the judge who signed the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search warrant was forced to cancel its Shabbat service. And this is hardly an isolated incident. Antisemitism is becoming more and more overtly accepted on the Right and in the Republican Party more broadly. Especially since the raid of Trump’s Florida estate, we’ve seen an acceleration of the rhetoric and increased calls for violence ag…

Dems Should Take Notes From Elizabeth Warren’s Pitch-Perfect Answer on Faith

Elizabeth Warren spoke about her faith at a recent CNN town hall meeting (as candidates do). Her answer was great, and it’s worth taking a minute to understand why. First, let’s roll the clip: https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1107841344553316352 I am an admitted Warren fan, though I haven’t backed her in the 2020 primary. But this is first of all a master class in taking an off-message question and steering the subject back to what the candidat…

Kirill’s Sermon May Be Bad Preaching and Even Worse Theology — But it’s a Top-Notch Rejection of Liberal Democracy

Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, gave a sermon on forgiveness this past Sunday at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. It was a doozy, to use the vernacular. Many will rightly zero in on Kirill’s suggestion that the conflict in Ukraine was sparked by gay pride parades, as though he were a younger, bearded version of Pat Robertson. But the patriarch’s message was actually worse than that, deeply embedded with c…

Christian Nationalists and the Holy Gun Crusade

In the wake of every mass shooting in this country, we have a brief moment where we talk about the guns used and the need for gun control. And then rapidly, the gun lobby, conservative politicians, Second Amendment absolutists, and the rest find every conceivable other possible thing to focus on, starting with “thoughts and prayers” and moving on to hardening school buildings. The mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where th…

Sexual Abuse is Inevitable in Christian Patriarchy; Just Take a Look at Doug Wilson’s Christ Church, and its New ‘Documentary’ ‘Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity’

On Sunday, May 22, a third-party investigation of sexual abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention released a nearly 300-page report detailing the cover-up of hundreds of abuse accusations and an overall failure of leaders in the SBC to make any meaningful attempts to deal with abusers in their midst. The report reveals that “survivors and others who reported abuse were ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could take…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

Conservative Supreme Court justices are rewriting our Constitution. The leaked draft of Justice Alito’s majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade radically alters American law and our understanding of constitutional rights. It isn’t the first consequential reversal from this court, nor will it be the last. But Americans are unprepared to live under the regime being crafted by judicial fiat. We are not ready to live in a Christian nation. Alito’s d…

Black Satanist Candidate Faces LA Sheriff Shakedown

Steve Hill is a lot of things: A former marine, a former correctional officer, a stand-up comic, and a political candidate. And he’s a Black Satanist who’s spoken publicly about how Christianity is holding the Black community back. Hill also works as a home appraiser and travels in a vehicle with a vanity license plate that reads “4 Satan.” Shortly before the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, Hill was confronted by the Los Angeles County Sh…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

It seems that all the Right wants to talk about these days is “grooming.” These accusations became popular recently in Florida with Republicans pushing for a law equating books about LGBT families with pedophiles grooming children. Governor Ron DeSantis’s press secretary, Christina Pushaw, made this explicit, tweeting: “The bill that liberals inaccurately call ‘Don’t Say Gay’ would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill.” (The bill…
