Why I’m Not Quite Sold on ‘Black Santa’

…cluding his North Pole residence. During the 20th century, ad campaigns by competing soda drink companies Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and White Rock Beverages all depicted Santa Claus in his now iconic red and white suit. That said, Santa Claus was not exclusively depicted as white in the popular American imagination. In his BBC News piece, “Secret History of Black Santas,” Brian Wheeler uncovers a long tradition of depicting ol’ St. Nick as Black as f…

Survival of the CrossFittest: After a Schism Over Racism Can the Fitness Empire Shed its Culture of Whiteness?

…inues to deal with the fallout from Glassman’s tweet, with its first major test under new leadership taking place during this weekend’s aforementioned competition for the title of “Fittest on Earth.” Over the past decade, the CrossFit brand has emerged as something of a darling among cultural commentators and scholars of religion alike. Its zealous members, brand evangelists, and tight-knit community serve as a convenient example for how communal…

The Latest on Zubik v. Burwell: Religious Orgs Propose a Compromise That They Themselves Would Oppose

…ary prospect. This is especially true considering the weak “substantial burden” test the Court adopted in Hobby Lobby, which defers almost entirely to the religious objectors’ assessment of whether they have been burdened. Such an immoderate interpretation of RFRA would give religious objectors the power to upend complex laws and programs that are created to benefit the public at large. Let’s say, for example, a company like Hobby Lobby had a reli…

Hobby Lobby Aftermath: Christian College Demands an Exemption…from the Exemption

…here is a right to an exemption. Rather than insisting that there is no burden, or that the burden is not substantial, we should accept the logic of the religious prohibition of the facilitation of sin and look to see where that leads. In the context of the prohibition, there is no principled basis for granting less protection to a plaintiff who believes it is a facilitation of sin to engage in actions that trigger Plan B than to plaintiffs like W…

Hipsters vs. Hasids, Round: Yawn

…sts, so that we shall not drown in evil waters, and so that they shall not come to our residence to ruin it.  Please place in the hearts of the homeowners that they should not build, God forbid, for these people, and strengthen their hearts so that they can withstand this difficult test and so that they will not sell for the lure of money.  Please, our Father God of Mercy, have mercy upon our generation that is weak, and remove this difficult test

Rejecting Blood Sacrifice Theology, Again

…attraction to the “radical teachings of Jesus.” Clayton is right about the common denominator. But this, to me, also points to the real test of the emergents’ social power and staying power. Can these communities and their leaders get beyond their preoccupation with what they are not (i.e., not doctrinally rigid, not entombed in stale ecclesial forms, not wedded to antique worship practices) and actually grasp just how radical Jesus’ teachings are…

Would Tea Partiers Consider Jefferson a Heretic?

…’s second post is about a new documentary from Adullam films called The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers. (The film company also produces movies that take an anti-evolution and pro-End Times perspective.) Needless to say, their historical accounting of the Founding Father’s faith should be taken with a grain of salt. But their alternative Christian take on the Constitution is an interesting one for those who follow attacks by the religious rig…

Dear Pew, What of Jewish Agnostics?

…hey freely choose. If I were lucky enough to have been asked to take their test (and I keep hoping someone will give me a test like that, but no one ever does), it would have been up to me to decide which is MORE true, that I’m Jewish or that I’m an atheist/agnostic. If Jewish is just my “ethnicity,” and this was a quiz about religion, then maybe the atheist/agnostic category was more relevant. Or if the categories assumed that atheist/agnostic al…

New Book Details Harms of Evangelical ‘Purity’ Movement and the Obstacle to Change

…age doesn’t work, though most simply don’t know what to replace it with. Klein also traces online resistance sites like No Shame Movement, a website on which people share stories about breaking up with purity culture, and #LifeAfterIKDG, which tracks critiques of the hallmark purity how-to text, I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. Harris himself suggests he’s rethinking his message, and will do so in a film with an anticipated release date i…

The Promise of Immortality in a Tech-Enhanced Heaven

…e word “synthetic.” I’d prefer that. Unfortunately, it seems that D&G are being trad and Elton is being his usual huffy self. Yawn. Still, there’s some content in this. As you implied, transhumanists would like to pretty much wipe out the last vestiges of the boundary between the supposed natural and the synthetic or artificial. Calling someone synthetic would not be seen as demeaning. In fact, people will be more likely to be bigoted against the…
