Those same churchgoers had to rationalize that that Jesus was not like the White Man who may have been terrorizing them or cheating them as they tried to survive as sharecroppers. That means negotiating racial animus with a deft but important moral turn that says: even though the Jesus I see on this picture is white, he is not like these other white people who are impinging on my rights and life. That is huge. Simil…

If the Media Are Reluctant to Properly Label the GOP’s Racist, Christian Nationalist Ideologies, We’ll Have Trouble Hanging on to Democracy

…bedient voters, from the third world. But, they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening, actually. Let’s just say it: That’s true.” “Third World” is code for non-white voters—because Carlson only has a problem with non-white immigration. “Every time they import a new voter, I become disenfranchised as a current voter,” Carlson claims.

Will Religion Solve the Obesity Crisis?

By Andrew Aghapour

…tes over time. This may help explain the experience of knowing quite well that you shouldn’t eat that chocolate cake, and then doing it anyway after the third or fourth offer. This study contributes to an existing theory that self-control can be “depleted,” and affirms our frustration with friends who won’t stop offering seconds. The ACC/DLPFC divide also contributes to the finding (reported by The New Yorker’s Jonah Lehrer) that simple mental tri…

…ted school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics.

…been a unique beacon of tolerance for LGBT people in Southeast Asia.” But that is changing: But that tolerance has proven fragile in the face of government-fueled animus. Anti-LGBT incidents across Indonesia have significantly increased since January 2016—in synch with broader rising intolerance of religious minorities.

…a Peruvian television station. “The most serious thing about it to me is that it promotes a new structure, after centuries, that can only destroy what God wanted and what has worked normally.” From Russia, where Vladimir Putin has made anti-gay policies part of his government’s posturing as the defenders of Christian civilization against western secularism, both government and church officials responded harshly. According to a June 29 story from…

Why We Can’t Afford to “Wait And See” How Trump Dismantles LGBT Rights

By Sunnivie Brydum

…care costs for LGBT people are a result of some abnormal activity. (Yes, that’s code for anal sex. Or gender-affirming surgeries. Or marrying the person you love most in the world, if that person happens to have the same gender marker as you.)

Chris Christie would bar even orphaned toddlers. Supporting the House bill that limits Syrian re…

By Christopher Douglas

…my book that conservative Christians will disagree with. They won’t like that I point out that the historical genealogy of the Christian Right lay back in segregation, and before that, in slavery.
