What the Hail: Satanists Got Busy in 2018

By Joseph Laycock

…s the culmination of long struggle in which the publically owned utilities company used increasingly complicated maneuvers to hold Christian prayers before meetings and Suhor continued his attempts to foil them. September: TST-Indiana successfully adopted a highway. The chapter generally felt they were treated fairly in their adoption request, although some residents expressed resentment. October: Netflix aired the new Warner Bros. series the Chil…

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

By Daniel Schultz

…the candidate wants to talk about. It takes discipline and preparation to come up with an answer like that, and Warren makes it look easy. Jack Jenkins points out that she’s given variations on this response before, but that’s sort of the point. In less assured hands, it would come across as scripted, rote. From Warren, it seems off the cuff. By the end, you can hear the cadences of an Oklahoma preacher slipping in. Seriously, the last time I saw…

Democratic Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Makes Faith 101 Misstep

By Daniel Schultz

…nfortunately, not enough Christians understand that Pharisees went on to become the dominant tradition in modern Judaism. Nor do many Christians get that the New Testament sees Pharisees through a partisan lens, as it were. They were rivals to the nascent Jesus movement, and often their rhetorical targets. Second and more positively, Buttigieg speaks of the need to represent all comers, religious or not. Good on him for that. Much of the discussio…

Recent Debates Highlight Democrats’ Antisemitism Blind Spot—But It’s Not What You Think

By Nylah Burton

…ver, as Kamala Harris’ photo-op with California AIPAC leaders (taken after committing to not attending the conference) suggests, this may be more about the preservation of optics for the sake of a high-stakes campaign. https://twitter.com/JamalDajani/status/1110362705775345664 Like Republicans, Democrats frame their support of Israel as fundamentally American and resulting from the abhorrence of antisemitism. But the Democrats don’t seem intereste…

Don’t Ignore the Role of “Christian Values” in Conservative Conspiracy

By Carmen Celestini

…definer of “American values” and patriotism. For example, during the anti-communism movements of the late 1950s and early 1960s the Christian anti-communism movements created a voting bloc that believed individuals who had different Christian dogmas were united in their commonly held values against feminism, LGBTQ rights and the “moral decline” of America. This sense of a loss of American values, was linked to communist infiltration in the Church…

When Fundamentalism Follows You Out the Door: Transphobic Statement Exposes Exvangelical Trauma

By Chrissy Stroop

…AB people with cisgender men and placed blame generally on “men who hadn’t come to the exvie community through or concurrently with” the writings of Rachel Held Evans, a particularly odd form of gatekeeping. I, for example, began deconstructing at the age of 16, some 14 years before RHE published her first book, and my major early influences in deconstructing were in fact singer-songwriters like Alanis Morissette, Dolores O’Riordan, and Adam Durit…

Prosperity Gospel Prayers Aren’t Sufficient to Save Hurricane Victims

By Tony Keddie

…r you to fulfill the purpose of God in the name of Jesus!” https://twitter.com/Paula_White/status/1169246110264844289 White explains in her book Birthing Your Dreams that “favor” is the feeling that God “is making a way for you.” But you need to act on this way. Joel Osteen, the Prosperity Gospel televangelist who was reluctant to open his megachurch’s stadium doors to the victims of Hurricane Harvey, elaborates on this notion of favor in his bo…

Satan, Contributor to Teen Vogue‘s New “Sodomy” Section?

By Mark D. Jordan

…hs, and intercourse “in the rear.” Note that for Peter Damian only men can commit sodomy and that they begin to do so as soon as they masturbate even once. Using this definition, a dispassionate observer of human affairs might conclude that there is a lot of sodomy going around. About two centuries later, Thomas Aquinas offers an expanded list of “unnatural” acts for both sexes—a list that becomes authoritative for much of Christian theology. For…

Why the Lewd Trump Tapes Won’t Matter (As Much As You Think) in White Christian America

By Paul Harvey

…the Republic will cease to exist. What’s a little “locker-room banter” in comparison to those stakes? I’ve pondered the motivations driving people I know very well and otherwise have a lot in common with. On one level, the study linked above, contrasting those who continue to live close to home as adults versus those who move away, describes the split rather precisely. But it doesn’t explain it. Certainly these hometown Oklahomans (where Trump is…

DeVos Literally Can’t Name a Discriminatory Policy She’d Refuse to Fund

By Sunnivie Brydum

…that, if a state approved it for its voucher program, that you would step in and say, that’s not how we’re going to use our federal dollars,” Clark summarized after DeVos again refused to answer the congresswoman’s questions. After DeVos offered irrelevant platitudes about how parents and communities are “best equipped” to make decisions about school choice (wholly neglecting any discussion of federal funds), Clark concluded her allotted time wit…
