Creators of Missing Lowe’s Ad Tell All

By Hussein Rashid

…ence. Lowe’s seems to be objecting to capitalism by refusing money from customers. Shouldn’t that appeal to your socialist sensibilities? PC: If you take the L and W and E and S out of Lowe’s and add a B-A-M and another A you get o-BAMA. That’s a link. I’m just saying. Lowe’s = Obama = Socialism. Think about that, left-wingers. RM: I think Lowes’ ill-conceived PR decisions of late are even mind-boggling to my Canadian Socialist self! In your role…

Dear Amazon Prime, I’m Not a Racist, But Why Are You Destroying My Precious Middle-Earth With Black Hobbits?

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

Dear Amazon Prime,* As a loyal customer I’m appalled at your latest WOKE stunt and have some questions for you before I cut to the chase. I’ve been watching the new Rings of Power series based on the works of Professor JRR Tolkien who was a medievalist, philologist, and fantasy author of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and other works. Let me explain why your casting choices in this latest series are WRONG. I’m an amateur histori…

Debating God: Atheist and Evangelical Face Off at Notre Dame

By Nathan Schneider

…ue alone.” Academics, for one thing, don’t usually get paid like this. The latest debate cost as much as $63,000, compared to around $46,000 last year. Most of it was speaker fees. Craig took part in the planning from the start. He insisted on particular details of the debate’s format, down to the timing of each speech and the placement of the clocks. (”Probably the most important technique to master,” he has told me about debating, “is managing t…

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

…the same lines as the ethno-nationalist sense of “volk” that animates the latest ad for Peter Thiel-backed far-right candidate for US Senate in Arizona, Blake Masters. Both claim that there’s a narrow and fixed definition of who is and is not American—first and foremost, white, Christian people who look, sound, dress, worship, believe, love, and act like they do—and both draw clear lines to show who is in and who is not a part of it. The future f…

RDBook: Is Zionism Anti-Semitic?: Zizek’s Violence

By Joel Schalit

…se with Zizek’s restatement of his critique of “anti-anti-Semitism” in his latest book, Violence (Picador, 2008). In it, he takes up the case of historian David Irving, who was sentenced to three years in prison in Austria for a 1989 interview doubting the existence of the Auschwitz gas chambers. Zizek attacks Irving’s imprisonment on the grounds that criminalizing his doubt of the Shoah is “the most refined and perverted version of Holocaust deni…

Is Sam Harris Really a White Supremacist?

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…agnet for controversy, in a media economy where controversy sells. Harris’ latest throwdown is with Omer Aziz, a law student at Yale and contributor to Salon. In December, Aziz published a scathing review of Harris’ latest book, Islam and the Future of Tolerance (co-written with Maajid Nawaz). Harris then invited Aziz onto his podcast, but only on the condition that Aziz follow a bizarre and rigid set of rules. Aziz accepted, and they spoke for fo…

Dear Evangelicals, A “Begrudging” Vote for Trump Is Still a Vote for Trump

By Neil J. Young

…strongest man who conquered death is a terrible thing to see.” While these latest #NeverTrump missives repeat many of the same points made over the past year, they notably do not argue that “real Christians” are not supporting Trump as earlier evangelical writings against the Trump movement contended. As I wrote earlier this year, for all their honor in opposing Trump, the #NeverTrump evangelicals were also unwilling to admit Trump’s support came…

Marriage equality and ‘the end of Catholic Ireland’; Gambian Prez vows to slit gays’ throats; Colombian govt affirms support for marriage and adoption; global LGBT recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ition from church leaders, could lead to a last-minute disappointment. The latest poll shows 78% of voters in favor of passing the amendment on May 22. That is a staggering number, considering that Irish voters only approved divorce in 1995, and with a margin of less than 1%. It also reflects how diminished the power of the Catholic Church has become over the past 20 years, thanks in large part to devastating sexual abuse scandals that have underm…

New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump

By Robert Repino

…oid and exerting its will on Christianity. Support for Trump is merely the latest in a long pattern of mainstream Christian denominations siding with authoritarian power and finding themselves on the wrong side of history. It isn’t an accident. It was entirely predictable. In fact, it’s such an old story that anyone who is surprised by this latest iteration should probably be disqualified from sharing an opinion on the matter. But demon belief—and…
