LDS Church Disavows “Mormon”-ism

By Holly Welker

…newsroom.org and several other relevant domain names—latterdaysaintnewsroom.com, thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaintsnewsroom.com, and thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaintsnewsroom.org—have been nabbed by the church’s critics (who can’t properly be called anti-Mormon since the church itself is now officially anti-Mormon). Restoredchurchofjesuschrist.org says that it’s “under construction, but Ldsnewsroom.com was still available as of this wri…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…cation, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation. The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their midst, i.e., to become bourg…

Why The Book of Mormon (the Musical) is Awesomely Lame

By Jared Farmer

…however. Pairs of missionaries are never equals; there is always a “senior companion” and a “junior companion.” The various missionaries (men and women) in an area are supervised by one (male) “mission president” and his wife, not by a three-person bishopric. (And, for whatever reason, such authority figures always were dark suits, not beige suits.) Mormons never intone, “Christ be praised,” like evangelicals. More importantly, missionaries don’t…

…n or violence in acting out our frustrations. Early death, though, for our community can be caused by any of these problems … and sometimes violence from those outside our community who believe the world would be a better place without us.

Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

…“also which borders? We are Europe. there are no borders.” https://twitter.com/GuardianJessica/status/665303417762394112 It shook the clarity out of my own instinctual American hysterics momentarily, having forgotten that there are more ways to react to an assault on one’s country than to defensively recoil into paranoid isolation. I knew that the European Union’s border policies had not magically erased centuries of unresolved intercontinental g…

I’ve been hearing from a number if BIPOC colleagues in religious leadership who aren’t calling me to complain about misleading polls but who do have a need to vent about the manifest white supremacy and misogyny that animates Trump’s enormous base—a base that has grown over four years despite the kids ripped…

Prosperity Gospel and Foreclosure

By Sarah Posner

…make a “Passover offering.” Seven is a biblically significant number, the number of completion and perfection, and in this spring of 2007 the Praise-a-thon began on Easter Sunday, the seventh day of Passover. If you make the Passover offering, Munsey claims, God will give you seven blessings: God will dispatch an angel to lead miracles; rid you of your enemies; bless you with prosperity; heal you; give you longevity; give you an inheritance you k…

End-Times Watcher Sees Satan in an Energy Drink

By William R. Black

…anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.” The author of Revelation meant that 666 was a person’s name turned into a number via the Jewish numerological practice of gematria. Since every Hebrew letter was also a number, the letters of a name could be added up to produce that person’s number. Here’s an example of gematria using an alphabet we’re more famil…
