The Circle Can Remain Unbroken, If Battered And Bloody

By Daniel Schultz

…lity as citizens to deliberate the issues set before us. We may spark and clash all we want, but as long as we’re engaged, we remain connected. And even unpleasant connection remains a better alternative than the most civil of separatism. To put it differently, thank God for PZ Myers. That man chaps my behind. He and I have no reasonable hope of ever coming to a perfect agreement on the social good, though we might achieve overlapping consensus. B…

How Men’s Rights Activists Are Finding Unlikely Allies in New Atheism: #MeToo, the Manosphere, and the “Church of Feminism”

By Caroline Matas

…ntify as atheist, agnostic, or religiously indifferent. My work in rhetorical analysis of these communities has sought to determine what qualities lead men to identify with both groups. What I’ve found is that the communities share a key core value: a brand of “rationality” that defines itself in opposition to broad swaths of the population. Rationality itself is not inherently gendered—it’s a quality over which there’s often a great deal of disag…

Between Butker, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes TradCaths are Having a Moment — A Moment With Something to Tell us About Christian Nationalism

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…State Gun Girl) and right-wing influencers who are already Catholic, like Ali Alexander of Stop the Steal, and Steve Bannon. No doubt these figures make common cause when it proves beneficial—they may endorse the same candidates and vote the same way in national elections—but to call them part of a unified “movement” might be misleading. Internal divisions and feuds are common in spaces where ideas about theological or ideological or racial purit…

Supreme Court Erodes Peace Advocacy

By Hussein Rashid

…has ruled that the First Amendment protected even the right to advocate criminal activity, so long as one’s advocacy was not intended and likely to produce an imminent crime. And it ruled that citizens had a right to associate with a group engaged in both legal and illegal activities, as long as they intended to further only the group’s lawful activities. Today, by contrast, the court rules that speech advocating only lawful, nonviolent activity c…

From A Belize Jungle, A Look At Creationist “Outreach” in Vancouver

By Lauri Lebo

…ately cleared trails reaching into the jungle farther than the beam of our flashlight. Never have I been so surrounded by such rich primitive fecund life. It is intoxicating and disorienting. From the sky came an incredible BOOM. “What was that?” Julian said slowly, as if we would have any clue. The sound continued to reverberate through the mountains. Meteorite? Bomb? End of the world? We were freaked out. No television, cell phone, internet serv…

Wanted: Your Vote

By The Editors

…But… we confess we’re starting to nurture a bit of a Susan Lucci complex — always a nominee, never (yet) a winner. In the past we’ve lost to much larger media outlets (such as the public network that rhymes with “Zee Bee Ess”) and this year are up against the likes of Krista Tippett’s “On Being” and others. So, here’s where you come in: We want (and need) your vote in the Webby’s People’s Voice contest. It only takes a minute to cast a ballot. (An…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…d in a video introducing himself that he believed that pedophilia was ‘becoming normalized,’ a dog whistle in far-right QAnon circles, which believe former President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a cabal of Democratic sex perverts.” We’ve come a long way in one verse. Instead of a song that expresses the frustration and anger that the working class faces, such as in Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” we’re now firmly in the territory of conspiracy and r…

Evidence of Mass Graves in Sudan?

By Frederick Clarkson

…SP’s role as a collector of forensic evidence that can be used in a potential trial of the perpetrators at the Hague. Here are a few excerpts: One eyewitness has claimed that GoS-aligned forces are putting dead bodies, in some cases, in what appear to be white plastic tarps or other body bags. Another eyewitness alleges that people were taken and killed by SAF troops and police officers in front of their houses near the Episcopal Church of Sudan (…

Evangelicals ‘Crossing the Tiber’ to Catholicism

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald

In the fall of 1999, I was a freshman at Gordon College, an evangelical liberal arts school in Massachusetts. There, fifteen years earlier, a professor named Thomas Howard resigned from the English department when he felt his beliefs were no longer in line with the college’s statement of faith. Despite all those intervening years, during my time at Gordon the specter of Thomas Howard loomed large on campus. The story of his resignation captured m…

Forget About #HotJesus, Material Objects Speak Loudly in Son of God

By Paul Harvey

…st provocative use of material objects may have been its most subtle. In a flashback scene, Jesus is with his mother as he builds a tall table. Diners would no longer have to sit on the ground. They could be more comfortable. Mary is mystified by this innovation and tells him that it’ll never “catch on.” We know Gibson’s Christ is battered and bruised, but we forget that he was also an innovator and entrepreneur of dining comfort and cleanliness….
