Australian Prime Minister, Church Leaders Resist Marriage Push; South Korea’s Anti-Gay Christians Block Pride Parade; Morocco Arrests Men for ‘Obscene Act’ of Kissing; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…that there had been calls for the judges to resign after they “ruled the abuser’s acts should not be considered ‘gravely dangerous’ in legal terms because the boy already ‘was making a precocious choice’ of his sexuality, an apparent reference to homosexuality.” Cambodia: LGBT magazine debuts NCB News’s Kristi Eaton reported from Phnom Penh this week on Q Cambodia, a print magazine directed at LGBT people and their allies, the first in “a country…

The Revolution Will Not Be Fetishized: Taking Resistance Beyond the Spiritual Industrial Complex

By Andrea R. Jain

…gically effective. But that is not enough in the Trump era. They must also use their resources—strong bodies, communities and commitments to science and reason—as tools to resist the state violence that causes so much of the trauma that necessitates healing to begin with, to demand social justice, and—as Angela Davis speaking at the Women’s March on Washington put so well—to recognize “that we are collective agents of history and that history cann…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…“empathize with” Trump supporters and hardline Republicans who not only refuse to compromise with Democrats, but don’t even recognize Democrats’ legitimate right to govern. America’s elite public sphere seems unable to quit the right-wing myth that conservative, implicitly white, gun-loving, small-town and rural southern and midwestern Christians are somehow “the real Americans” in a way the rest of us aren’t. This anti-pluralist, anti-democratic,…

By Peter Montgomery

…ggested. “I know observant guys who I wanted to offer a match, and they refused. They likely refused for that reason. But they lived in total devotion, to protect the Torah. Sometimes a person has to sacrifice himself for things which are fundamental in Jewish life. Horowitz “admitted that the rabbinical and religious world has failed in providing a Jewish-halachic response to the complexity involved in the existence of a state.” “Thank God that w…

Hillary Flirting with Fear

By Ira Chernus

…deration. That’s why a glance back at the last presidential election is so useful for all of us who are keeping a close eye on this year’s election. It reminds us that appeals to a traditional mindset centered on security, and the powerful emotions it evokes, can trump even the most persuasive logic. Democrats ignore that lesson at their peril. But it’s a bitter pill for some to swallow. You can watch them struggling with it on the op-ed page of t…

RDGenerations: Youth and Liberal Religion

By Lucia Hulsether

…of speech. It reminds me of how Stephen Colbert could speak at the White House Correspondent’s Banquet in 2006 and say things to Bush that no one else in the media dared to say, because it was “only a comedy routine.” How far would you push the idea of Girl’s State as a model? Conservative megachurches also have structure, money, and one-on-one contact. Many of them push self-esteem. But they steer their people to the right. During one summer when…

In its Battle for ‘Life’ the Antiabortion Movement is Willing to Expose its Enemies to Death — And There’s an Old Christian Theology that Supports Them

By Beatrice Marovich

…antiabortion activists. The bill, HB 3549, seeks to amend the state’s law code so that an abortion would be treated as a homicide by the state’s judicial system, which could make the death penalty a potential consequence. It would be difficult to interpret this as anything other than an embrace of the death-dealing dimensions of forced birth politics. What’s going on? Why would a movement that seeks to “preserve life” be so ready to embrace death…

South Dakota Bill Could Legalize Killing Abortion Doctors

By Lauri Lebo

…e made in the committee hearing on the bill last week. “If you look at the code, these codes are dealing with illegal acts. Now, abortion is a legal act. So this has got nothing to do with abortion.” Here is the bill in its entirety: FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to provide for the protection of certain unborn children. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA: Section 1. Th…

Supreme Court OKs State Funding Scheme for Religious Schools and Bars Challenges

By Peter Laarman

…taining favorable tax treatment from the state for advancing a religious cause? If I know Petra’s views as well as I think I do, I doubt that Justice Kennedy has won her over. Petra will argue that any tax subsidy for religion, in a closed system where the power to tax is limited, violates the non-establishment clause. Petra will also argue that the principle of taxpayer-supported universal public education is severely undercut if more and more ta…

Why Conservative Evangelicals Won’t Let Us Pee in Peace

By Daniel Schultz

…but that view hasn’t been shared even within their own communion. The SBC used to be marked by diversity in belief and practice, but now it marches ever closer to a rigid, centralized orthodoxy that would have been anathema to its founders. Mohler was and is part of the movement that created that situation. So likewise, this business of Southern Baptist conservatives being a threatened minority just trying to maintain its way of life is baloney….
