Republican Lauren Boebert Jokes About AR-15s and Jesus — And Yes, She’s a ‘Real’ Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…decided later this month. The American Muckrakers PAC, which infamously released the salacious Madison Cawthorn nude “horseplay” video, is hoping to take Boebert down in the same way they tanked Cawthorn, in this case by pushing a thus-far-unsubstantiated rumor that Boebert previously worked as an escort and has had multiple abortions. But while plenty of Twitter users are running with this likely-false narrative to accuse Boebert of hypocrisy, th…

There’s Nothing Wrong with ‘Prayer’; But There’s Every Reason to be Skeptical of Pence’s Coronavirus Prayer Circle

By Chrissy Stroop

…you’ll most likely find the derision aimed at a picture of Pence and his (decidedly white and male) team in prayer that’s been going around perfectly reasonable. https://twitter.com/thomaschattwill/status/1234252762055090176?s=20 However, if you’re a white evangelical or evangelical-adjacent commentator or pastor with pretensions to respectability, your response might instead be to put out a tone-deaf take in defense of the picture. And then to ta…

Why the ‘Confession & Redemption’ Path is Unlikely to Help Falwell Recover from Sex Scandal

By Chrissy Stroop

…“biblical patriarchy,” took to Twitter to lament “that evangelicals have become numb to celebrity sex scandals,” from which the celebrities in question are generally able to recover. She even went so far as to state, with an odd air of fatalism, “The Evangelical Industrial Complex is corrupt to the core. We hate it, but here we are. Jesus is still LORD.” Other evangelical Twitter users denied that Falwell was ever really considered an evangelical…

Christian Nationalism Was the Loser of Tuesday’s Debate

By Chrissy Stroop

…n extreme Christian nationalist agenda. Today’s Democratic Party has thus become the party of literally everyone else who chooses to affiliate with one of the major parties in our broken two-party system. This situation makes for a messy coalition, but it also provides Democrats with the opportunity to model the healthy navigation of pluralism, and thereby to further the dismantling of white, male, straight, and Christian supremacism in the United…

7 Problems with Trump’s Hastily-Tweeted Trans Military Ban

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ut growing the Army’s ranks, promised to “rebuild” the Marine Corps, and pledged new fighter jets and naval ships to the Air Force and Navy, respectively. Categorically kicking out highly trained troops—some of whom, no doubt, were slated to be operating those ships and jets—makes all of those goals harder to achieve, and quite literally endangers the people currently serving in austere environments. It’s also a dangerous distraction While Trump’s…

Is Criticizing Mitt Romney an Excommunicable Offense? No.

By Joanna Brooks

…of individual choice. It is a core tenet of our faith. Church discipline becomes necessary only in those rare occasions when an individual’s actions cannot be ignored while they claim to be in good standing with the Church. Every organization, whether religious or secular, must be able to define where its boundaries begin and end.” And by late Friday, journalists Peggy Fletcher Stack at the Salt Lake Tribune and Laurie Goodstein at the New York T…

That Jew Died For You… Dot Com

By Evan Derkacz

…ng from the good people at Jews for Jesus (aka evangelical Christians) called, tastefully enough, “That Jew Died For You.” (Note to self: thatjewdiedforyou.org still available.) It’s like JfJ are PETA now…willing to do anything for publicity. I fully expect them to open a Jesus deli downtown: ThatJewCooksForYou.com As one friend put it: “It’s got potential. Kosher style. Lamb-of-God chops. Wood-smoked bacon.” The upside there is that it’d pit PETA…

“Digital Discipline”: Five Questions on #ReLent2016

By Anita Little

…part of a larger community. Twitter helps to form real relationships and real communities, and there’s no reason faith groups shouldn’t be a part of that. Do you feel that tech can provide a more effective way of practicing religion? We Lutherans trace our history back to the Reformation in the 1600s, and the only way that it was able to take off was because of that new technology, the printing press. So without the printing press, there’s no way…

‘Sit Down and Be Quiet’ — MAGA Attack on Jewish Republican Exposes Christian Nationalism’s Shaky Commitment to Pluralism

By Ben Lorber

White Evangelical Leaders Still Too Preoccupied With ‘Order’ to Listen to Black Truth

By Chrissy Stroop

…church during the protests the night before. Minutes earlier, police had cleared the way from the White House to the church, which has a historic association with American presidents, with tear gas and physical force. White evangelicals, many of whom regard mainliners like Episcopalians as dubiously Christian at best, have been quick to praise the president for what the Republican Party’s official Twitter account called the “truly touching and pow…
