Jeb Bush’s “New Way” Of Talking About Gay Marriage

By Sarah Posner

…testified in her deposition that Ingersoll “came in and we were just chitchatting and he said that he was going to get married. Wanted something really simple, khaki I believe he said. And I just put my hands on his and told him that because of my relationship with Jesus Christ I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t do his wedding.” In other words, Ingersoll didn’t ask Stutzman to “help organize” his wedding, nor did Stutzman tell him she loved him.

Watch the New Birth Throne: Eddie Long Declared ‘King’ by ‘Rabbi’

By Anthea Butler

…ontinued pandering to keep the remnants of his deluded flock intact has no bounds. In fact, Long is King of his Lithonia Campus, subject to no authority. There is no church hierarchy to sit him down, no one to tell him that he is theologically incorrect. I hope that the full story of what he did to the young men he paid off will come out, and others will begin to share the whispers of inappropriate behavior that have been hinted at by those in lea…

By Saba Soomekh

…ause I did have Iranian Jewish parents and all the rules and restrictions that came along with that heritage. As cool and open-minded as my parents were, they were still Iranian immigrants who held on to traditional beliefs. How could I explain to my peers that I couldn’t go out on a Friday night because I had Sabbath dinner or that the fabric and makeup of my family was just different than theirs?

Maybe It’s Time to Admit That The “Grotesque Caricature” of White Evangelicals is the Reality

By Hollis Phelps

…ch appeals represent little more than nostalgia-laden theological desires that have little to do with what goes on on the ground, but they also ignore the fact that the line between religion and politics is flimsy at best, if not entirely non-existent. Evangelicalism, in its current manifestation, isn’t a religion that has been corrupted by its entry into politics but is, rather, a social movement that works through a specific type of politics. Th…

If We Don’t Counter Far-Right Christianity, 1/6 Will Just Be the Beginning

By Serene Jones

…o reclaim our faith as a force of good and for love. Our God is not one of hatred. Far-right Christianity is a sickness that will continue plaguing our politics and will ultimately kill our democracy if not immediately, urgently challenged. Silence or passive liberal head-shaking is not enough. A devastating theological crisis is upon us now. Faith leaders must speak up, loudly, for equality and true justice and to expose the deadly lies of those…

…onal medical opinions, including Will Sommer of The Daily Beast who wrote that she “has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons.” Liberal Twitter understandably snarked, but too much laughing can drown out just how disturbingly prevalent such beliefs are. For example, Reverend Paula White, televangelist and former advisor to Donald Trump’s Faith and…

Decadence, Sickness, and Death: Mourning and the Israel-Hamas War

By Shaul Magid

…have released all the restraints [on soldiers entering Gaza],” I wondered what that could mean. Executions? Liquidation of civilian homes? No one yet knows the full extent. But we will. That’s what survivalism produces. So both sides claim they’re fighting for survival; not victory, not deterrence, not even security, but survival. A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a sick civilization. Shooting and crying…

Step Right Up And Get Your Low-Priced ‘Pro-God Content’! Donald Trump Enters the Bible Business

By Karen E. Park

…nity are the biggest things missing from this country and I truly believe that we have to bring them back and bring them back fast. . . that’s why our country is going haywire, because we have lost religion in our country.” The “Christians are under siege” language is old hat, but embedded within this rhetoric is a newer development. Trump never refers to the “God Bless the USA Bible” as the Word of God, or as revelation, or even as truth (the nam…

…tianity versus any other faith, any other religious tradition, and saying that that’s the only one that should be taught. That it should become the law of the land. We know that many, many people who are in faith-based communities would not be in support of this agenda. But I think it speaks for itself. We need to talk about this in terms of how do we get the word out about this? We’re doing our best. We want people to come to our website and take…
