Is ‘Western Self-Hatred’ the Problem in the Gaza War Protest Movement?

By Shaul Magid

…m is a particularly compelling and convenient narrative for those who tacitly or openly believe in “eternal antisemitism,” Hannah Arendt’s term for the position that Jew-hatred is unrelated to context and circumstances—that it’s a permanent and perpetual reality. Such a position, which Arendt argues is historically unfounded and morally dangerous, is tacitly used to wed anti-Zionism, or Palestinian solidarity, with antisemitism. As political scien…

Compare the Midterms to Presidential Elections and an Interesting Story Emerges

By Daniel Schultz

…s shriveling up? Probably not. As Pew says, because these numbers are roughly in line with other elections, it most likely means evangelicals are reverting to mean. Trump’s yuge win with them in 2016 may turn out to have been not much more than a blip on the screen. At the same time, even though evangelical support for Republicans declined somewhat between 2014 and 2018, in terms of raw numbers, many more evangelicals voted this year. That might e…

South Park Meets the Sacraments at Class for New Catholics

By Zachary Leja

…from Justin sits Alexis Verwoert, a 19-year-old freshman. Alexis is actually a bit of an oddity in the RCIA process. She was raised in the Catholic Church, being baptized as an infant and receiving her First Communion a few years after that. But she never finished her confirmation. The bishop at her diocese in Florida made it difficult for her to get confirmed before because of her busy schedule and—she thinks—because of her gender. “To be Cathol…

History Matters: On the 400th Anniversary of Plymouth We’re Still Clinging to Destructive National Myths

By Ed Simon

…virulent pandemic in history. Any decent respect for the truth can’t possibly whole-heartedly embrace the myth while ignoring the facts. Virtually all of the Thanksgiving accoutrement that we gild the pilgrim narrative with is wrong, and no serious scholar entertains the most potted and simplistic version of the story. The claim that the Mayflower uncomplicatedly led towards American democracy, even while the Compact which organized their mission…

The Contested Religious Powers of Baseball on Display in Cuba

By Sean O'Neil

…ll against the human-rights abuses of the Castro regime, before being swiftly and forcefully apprehended and pushed into a car, Le Batard felt no ambiguity. Nor could he muster words. He choked on tears and motioned for a commercial break to his radio broadcast. Sporting events, like civil religion, can provide pluralistic spaces of resiliency in the face of terror. Many claim baseball did that after 9/11. Obama is a believer in that legacy. But t…

All That Glitters is Monotheism — Ignorance of Paganism Isn’t The Real Problem with David Wolpe’s ‘Atlantic’ Essay

By Chrissy Stroop

…America’s current crisis is completely wrongheaded. Instead of patronizingly proselytizing to Americans that we need to believe in God, or feeding us the demonstrably false narrative that Trump’s Christian nationalist supporters aren’t “really” Christians, America’s “very serious people” need to spend some time thinking about what functional pluralism in the context of liberal democracy really means. Because if they hope for a less tense, healthi…

Pop-Culture Angels Are More Than Just Embarrassing Kitsch

By Ed Simon

…albeit incredibly distant from being critically acclaimed—was a hokey, family friendly fantasy series Touched by an Angel. With a nine year run from 1994 to 2003, viewers tuned in to the CBS show (appropriately every Sunday) to watch the angel Monica, performed with the requisite degree of Celtic spirituality by Irish actress Roma Downey, intercede in the lives of troubled women and men. In this mission she was joined by her supervisor Tess, playe…

Evangelicalism Thrived Because it Enabled White Christians to Avoid Civil Rights Movements According to New Book

By Eric C. Miller

…s the continued waging of cultural war against “the Left” in America, broadly and casually construed. Throughout, Mohler’s speech demonstrated qualities that evangelical audiences have come to expect from their leaders: authority, certainty, simplicity, rigidity, and candor. These qualities have justified the argument—dating back at least as far as Dean Kelley’s Why Conservative Churches Are Growing in 1972—that evangelical success is owed to the…

Dragged Through the Mud: This Little Church-Backed Support Group for LGBTQ Teens Suffered Bomb Threats, Smears and the Cancellation of its Drag Show

By Chrissy Stroop

…not be taking place during school hours, and that it was, in any case, family-friendly. The Landing Spot’s previous youth drag shows had proceeded with little to no controversy. But this time, in line with the increasing anti-trans and anti-drag hostility that’s come to define the U.S. Right, the American Council kicked into gear. Claiming to be concerned “that it was an event that was specifically for students” and that it was taking place in a s…

From Elon to Elizabeth: The 7 Seals of the 2022 Apocalypse

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…receiving a planned minute of silence when the SpaceX mission has an “anomaly” shortly after launch. By the time this anomaly occurs, Musk’s Tesla stock should be worth just enough to buy flowers for all the “influenaut” family members. The seventh seal has been quietly broken. Anyway, if you missed these signs, it may not be too late. From the moment you wake up, before you put on your makeup, Dionne Warwick will say a little prayer for you. Now…
