How Donald Trump Has Exposed Rifts in the Religious Right

…er stateswoman of the conservative movement, praising Trump for his “blunt talk.” She contrasts Trump to Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Marco Rubio, whom she depicts as weak-kneed amnesty-lovers, saving her most stunningly xenophobic criticism for Rubio (emphasis mine): That’s a refreshing contrast to the immigration paper recently released by Jeb Bush, who is the candidate of the big-money, big-business faction of the Republican party. Jeb famously s…

A Daily Utopia: Creating Our Moral Values Every Day

…lly that can be both pleasurable and informative. Who would it piss off? I talk about Marx a lot, so that might bother some people. They probably wouldn’t read it, anyway. I also talk about Paul Tillich a lot, which might piss off just as many people. What alternative title would you give the book? I’m happy with the title, which my editor thought of. Originally the order of the title and subtitle were reversed, so the title was “The Education of…

How a 15th Century Book on Witchcraft Helps Make Sense of Trump’s Bizarre Baby Execution Story

…out into the world, and wrap the baby, and make the baby comfortable, then talk to the mother and talk to the father, and then execute the baby. Later in February he tweeted that “the Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.” https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1100211495223218176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1100211495223218176&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytim…

All the Lonely People: Holiday Blues and the Epidemic of Isolation

…to create healthy and free social spaces in which people can talk (or not talk) about their struggles, dreams, and hopes. They should be opening their doors especially to the many millions made anxious and desperate and depressed by the collapsing economy. And they should keep religion out of it except insofar as their hospitality expresses basic friendship toward others. A few congregations affiliated with my organization in Southern California…

How Does an Atheist Come to Believe in God?: An Interview with Jacob Needleman

…r word you want to use. And people cannot listen to each other. When we’re talking, you and I, mostly when I’m talking and trying to listen to someone I maybe hear—if I’m lucky—one-third of what they say. Mostly I hear my own thoughts, and when I try to write down what they’ve said I mix it with my own thoughts. But there is a discipline which one can obtain. It’s not that hard. It’s to step back from one’s own opinions, make a space in myself and…

Capricology: Week 3: Apotheosis, Anyone?

…pectacularly disastrous. The news story spills into sports, financial, and talk shows with the not-so-hidden subtext of retribution. The perception that a wrong needs to be righted plays out on the Buccaneers’ sports field, the stock market, and Backtalk with Baxter. But the reality of the tragedy remains hidden and no one—not the police, nor the reporters nor the families involved—seems interested in sussing it out. In each instance, using, pursu…

The Abandoned Orphanage: Hillary Clinton’s Mother Teresa Moment

…that it had closed years ago, and that the nuns who’d staffed it wouldn’t talk to the press. According to a pastor at the church next door to the home’s former location, the adoption ministry failed to take off because the Roman Catholic nuns who ran it weren’t allowed to care for babies without medical personnel on site. “I’m not sure the legal thing that came down upon them, but they realized they needed to expend their energies in another way,…

‘Purity’ Guru Joshua Harris May Have Left Evangelicalism But He’s Still a Member of the Church of Patriarchy

…rds lightly, so let’s look at the evidence. The title of Harris’ 2017 TEDx talk “Strong Enough to be Wrong” draws on tropes that to admit error is a weak, feminine trait. It attempts to rebrand admission of error as acceptably masculine by mapping the language of strength onto it. This brand remained at the center of Harris’ 2018 “apology tour” documentary, I Survived I Kissed Dating Goodbye, which forefronts his own struggles rather than the stru…

The Anti-Gay Highway

…e share words, the words are similar. That’s where the right wins. When we talk about values and family, that appeals to an African. When we talk about evangelicals, it appeals to an African, but what they mean is totally different. So the progressives must start defining those on the right for Africa to understand. The funding that goes to Africa is much more personal. For evangelicals, this money goes to bishops with personal contacts. And in Ug…

Rush Limbaugh’s Race-Baiting and Gaslighting of Obama Paved the Way for Trump

…ing June, 2019 This is a publication about religion, so rather than simply talk about the host’s broad influence on our politics, I’m going to delve specifically into some examples of how he used religion to divide Americans when talking about President Obama, and how this reflects his larger approach. This material is drawn from the research and analysis included in my book. Barack Obama is a Christian. That’s a fact. Another fact, as numerous po…
