Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ayer,” and “a silent or quiet prayer.” As the photos show, this is untrue. https://twitter.com/BradleySGirard/status/1482098135577071621 A judge on the Ninth Circuit called out the Institute’s dishonesty, writing that its claim that the coach “was disciplined for holding silent, private prayers” was “a deceitful narrative … spun by counsel.” As a lawyer that values professional responsibility, I’d be devastated to read that in a judicial opinion a…

As Florida Attempts to Make it Illegal, an Argument for the Sacred Work of White Discomfort

By Robert P. Jones

…generations. If we white Christians can muster the courage to walk in its company, discomfort with our racial history can be a sacred and saving gift. ### This article was originally published on Jones’ #WhiteTooLong substack newsletter. To read more or sign up, go to robertpjones.substack.com. I would be remiss here if I didn’t give a grateful shout out to my friend Robin DiAngelo, who put her finger on this problem years ago in her best-selling…

Satanic Harmonies and Zoom Church: Readers Respond

By Daniel Schultz

…a of RNS wrote on the same piece, summarizing his article thus on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bobsmietana/status/1488645684769218564 This doesn’t help Warren’s case. She says in the article that she thinks online church is part of a larger trend of people gathering virtually rather than in person. That’s a legitimate concern, but it’s nowhere spelled out in her original piece. Nor does it address the concern raised about ableism in response to th…

Don’t Laugh at Rick Scott’s ‘Plan to Rescue America’ or Be Fooled by Reports of a ‘Backlash’ — His Only Mistake Was Revealing the Truth of Today’s GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…raise taxes for more than half of Americans including pensioners and low-income people—harking back to Mitt Romney’s ’47-percent’ comment in 2012. After criticism from Jen Psaki and Chuck Schumer, Scott sat with Sean Hannity for a softball-interview during which he denied that his plan included any tax hikes—a lie that Hannity happily let slide. The tax hike, Scott claims in the document, would be necessary to “grow America’s economy, starve Washi…

Kirill’s Sermon May Be Bad Preaching and Even Worse Theology — But it’s a Top-Notch Rejection of Liberal Democracy

By Daniel Schultz

…, Kirill didn’t say anything that hasn’t been heard in the Vatican before. https://twitter.com/MassimoFaggioli/status/1500555667790340097 And there are plenty of conservative thinkers — like the Orthodox convert Rod Dreher — who’ve been happy to champion Putin as a defender of traditional morality, or the like-minded Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban. At the same time, whenever news of someone with views like Kirill’s pops up, there’s a natural ten…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

U.S. Department of Education, as have three Christian colleges represented by none other than ADF. (Two of these schools, Corban University and William Jessup University, are CCCU member institution…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

By Sophie Bjork-James

…mer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of 4-8 year old children.” https://twitter.com/ChristinaPushaw/status/1499890719691051008 Third, this tactic serves to unite disparate elements of the right into an anti-democratic coalition. Opposing LGBT rights and framing children as needing protection brings white evangelicals and other conservatives into the same coalition, while providing a dangerous invitation for people across the conservativ…

Black Satanist Candidate Faces LA Sheriff Shakedown

By Joseph Laycock

…a psychiatric hospital and that, as such, he wasn’t permitted to own guns. https://twitter.com/satan4congress/status/1519100552998580224 Hill claims he’s never spent the night in any hospital, let alone a psychiatric hospital. He spent nearly an hour handcuffed in his own driveway, in view of his children, while police searched his home for weapons. They confiscated two hunting guns—heirlooms that had belonged to Hill’s father—and the 9mm handgun…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that “Satan’s whispers” lead to abortions. https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1520185102143303684?t=M7pldjJ9lKM34bHlVSPlGg&s=19 The court has three church-state cases this term. I imagine that if this opinion hadn’t been leaked, they would have decided these first to soften the ground for Alito’s bombshell. In Carson v. Makin, the court is likely to say that states must fund religious education. That builds o…

Sexual Abuse is Inevitable in Christian Patriarchy; Just Take a Look at Doug Wilson’s Christ Church, and its New ‘Documentary’ ‘Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity’

By Cait West

…and abuse For those of us who grew up in and have now left patriarchal or complementarian communities, it’s no surprise that a denomination like the SBC would have systemic problems with abuse. We’ve experienced this over and over, and yet many in the church continue to argue that abusers are only a few bad apples, as if the institution itself doesn’t create the conditions for abuse to exist. One example of a patriarchal church community that’s b…
