The Shared Fantasy of Redemptive Violence Between ISIS and the Islamophobic Right

By Donovan Schaefer

…e’s just one problem with this interpretation: there’s no evidence for it. New details may come to the surface in the coming weeks, but for now, the Trumps and the terrorists of this world have nothing to back up their claim. Unlike previous terror attacks claimed by ISIS in the West—like the San Bernardino and Orlando shootings—Lahouaiej Bouhlel made no declaration of loyalty to ISIS. Authorities have not uncovered any ties to terrorist organizat…

“Foibles, Peccadilloes, and Metaphorical Warts”: Eric Metaxas Endorses Trump

By Jonathan Orbell

…etters.” Jacob Lupfer describes Metaxas’ public persona well: “He is a well-known and well-liked fixture of the mainstream evangelical establishment, [as well as] a smart and serious communicator.” This man, who appeared to me and many others as an intellectual heavyweight, now seems anything but. And that’s a shame, because it seems to have tarnished his reputation both inside and outside the evangelical camp. For all his rhetorical flare, Metaxa…

Women Are Leaving Church, And the Reason Seems Clear

By Patricia Miller

…And in 2004, the Catholic Church released a controversial document by soon-to-be Pope Benedict that was critical of feminism and said women’s characteristics were “Listening, welcoming, humility, faithfulness, praise and waiting.” The following years of Benedict’s papacy were particularly unwelcoming to progressive women in the church. If McClendon is right and the trend of growing disaffiliation correlates to women’s decline in attendance, it’s…

The Theodicy of George Carlin

By Kathryn Lofton

…ls toyed with the faux sacrilege of a celebrity Jesus. “So, not all of the New Testament is true,” encouraged a reporter to Carlin’s Christ. “Nah,” he replied, “Some of that gospel stuff never happened at all. It’s just made up. Luke and Mark used a lot of drugs.” Typical among his riffs was his reply to the existence of angels. “What is all this shit about angels? 3 out of 4 people believe in angels. What? Are you fucking stupid?” Listening to Ca…

On Guns and Religious Liberty, Ben Carson “Not an Authentic Adventist”

By Sarah Posner

…ination in 1863, both doctrinally and culturally, Adventists have been “non-combative,” and their status in wartime is that of conscientious objector, said Alexander Carpenter, a writer and academic who serves on the board of Adventist Forum, a liberal non-profit that publishes the independent journal Spectrum. In his statements about guns and gun violence, Carson “is not an authentic Adventist,” added Carpenter, who also has taught at Pacific Uni…

The Pastoral is the Political: Let’s Stop Hyde-ing

By Harry F. Knox

…sed an amendment that would prevent Medicaid—our nation’s insurance for low-income people—from covering for abortion care. The Hyde amendment is a temporary rider to the budget that must be passed every year. We will mark the amendment’s 39th anniversary later this month. Hyde could not attack the rights of rich and middle-class women, so he targeted poor women. “I certainly would like to prevent, if I could legally, anybody having an abortion: a…

What NOT to Expect from the Pope’s US Visit

By Anthea Butler

…atholic News Service reported that, in response to questions about being a communist and Newsweek‘s “Is the Pope Catholic?” headline, he responded: “I am certain I have never said anything more than what is in the social doctrine of the church. I follow the church and in this, I do not think I am wrong.” That is key to understanding Pope Francis’s visit. For all of the talk about climate change, social good, or poverty, all of his statements come…

The Second Coming of Black Jesus

By Jess Peacock

…f the series, however, Fish stands tall—notably in solidarity with the gang-bangers—as the community garden is shut down and Jesus is committed to a mental health institution by law enforcement. “It’s all a big test of faith,” he tells the others in the last episode, understanding that faith isn’t about winning or losing but about persevering, even forgiving the somewhat villainous Vic, Fish’s landlord and the prime force behind their eviction fro…

Trump and the Bible Dodge

By Sarah Posner

…s a dumb question, although if Trump were a bit more savvy on this religion-in-politics stuff he would have at least talked about—oh, I don’t know, love thy neighbor? (Or perhaps that would have been too preposterous even for Trump.) For the record, these questions shouldn’t be asked of political candidates. But since it was the Republican Party that turned elections into piety contests, you would think its preferred candidate could at least play…

Back to School at The First Public School In the Country To Require a World Religions Course

By Joseph Laycock

…t? I wish I had them longer so we could cover more religions. We could use new textbooks (another common theme in education) and any materials and lessons we need we have to create. We try to maintain continuity within the district, so we have a group of four teachers that have taught WGR from day one (I am one of the four) under the leadership of the social studies curriculum coordinator who meet to work on new materials and discuss the future of…
