Thank You, Ben Carson, For Your Latest Anti-Muslim Rant

By Haroon Moghul

…in-patient treatment. Whereas Trump might deport us, or detain us, Carson will at least hospitalize us. Which will be interesting to experience because every other American Muslim I knew growing up was a doctor, training to be a doctor, wishing they’d become a doctor, or berated for not becoming a doctor. But sometimes, you know, they say doctors are the worst patients. Second, “schizophrenia” is actually an improvement in the media representation…

…o ensure that the upcoming International Classification of Diseases (ICD) will no longer consider trans people mentally ill. Jamaica: J-FLAG celebrates 18 years of activism J-FLAG celebrated 18 years of standing up for LGBT people.

Homophobia Chases Millennials From Church

By Alana Massey

…s even more revealing to me is the fact that when homophobic teachings and ill treatment of LGBT people drove Millennials from the church, it drove them for good. When we abandon a political party or an ideology, it’s not uncommon to join another party or be attracted to an alternative ideology. But when the church left a bad taste in the mouths of these Millennials, it doesn’t appear that they sought out more tolerant religious institutions. Cons…

House Hearing on White Nationalism Missed the Boat on Christian Nationalism

By Murali Balaji

…The Democratic-led House cannot let another opportunity go to waste. It’s not just politics; if we fail to understand and acknowledge the underlying ideology we will be ill-prepared for and ill-equipped to deal with the next terror attack committed by a white Christian nationalist….

Great White Men, Again?: On Lincoln and Our Civil Religion

By Paul Harvey

…Southern organizations to tend to Confederate memory that resulted in much ill will and historical distortion. Point well taken. But the larger story here remains even in the clarification of the original comments, which insists that Lincoln’s more “moderate” vision of Reconstruction would have spared the country much post-war agony. That is radically false to history, albeit depressingly in line with a historically familiar vision of Lincoln. In…

RNC Takes America to Church, Mormon Style, as Rank-and-File LDS Step Up

By Joanna Brooks

…rnment in national affairs. How do individual religious good deeds for the ill, elderly, and vulnerable balance against national economic policies that disproportionately impact the ill, elderly, and vulnerable? How does a presidential candidate who has worked closely with the poor countenance a budget that cuts away, for example, at food stamps while preserving military spending and offering tax cuts to the wealthiest? How do individual acts of m…

Soccer and the Sublime in the Shadow of Apartheid

By Preston Davis

…f these less noble attributes, even for the locals of Nelspruit. The game will unify people, and mollify hardship for the present. It will not end it, but it provides a respite. Some might call it tragic delusion—opiate of the masses. (To my American readers, it may all sound like nonsense, like an atheist reading the myths of the Bible.) Those indicting fingers would find the wrong culprit, however. The game is not to blame. It, like religion, po…

Queering Easter: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Redefine Sainthood

By Susan Henking

…e else but San Francisco could Irene Smith, a true pioneer in care for the ill and dying, be sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?” Who is Smith? Here’s what the Bay Area Reporter said: Smith, who conducts Everflowing educational programs that teach touch skills as an integral component of end of life care, is revered as one of the first people to regularly massage those living with AIDS. She began her outreach in 1983, when she started…

Why Science and Social Distancing Can’t Replace Healing Supplements and Prayer

By Alan Levinovitz

…preaching falsehoods, that their practices offer no protection—then what will fill the void? Hand-washing and social distancing do not offer the existential comfort of prayer, or of natural healing products like elderberry syrup. Dealing with misinformation, in itself, is fairly straightforward. President Trump will kill people—has already killed someone—by trumpeting the benefits of untested medicine. He and other public personalities who preten…

When the Golden Rule is Used to Silence Dissent and Protect the Politically Powerful

By John Stoehr

…d rough and, worst of all, “screechy” to say as much about a man recently killed off by cancer. It’s one thing to speak ill of the dead, Bruni wrote, “but the pitch of that ill-speak needn’t be screechy. The manner of it needn’t be savage. It has more credibility—and I think, more impact—when it’s neither of these things. And we preserve some crucial measure of civility and grace.” For four decades, Rush Limbaugh had the biggest media megaphone th…
