Some Mormons See a Message in the Angel Moroni’s Fallen Trumpet

By Christopher James Blythe

…. The angel directed Smith to the location of the Gold Plates that would become the Book of Mormon. Before his death in the fifth century, Moroni, a proto-American Indian, had deposited these records near Smith’s home. (In the Latter-day Saint tradition, angels are deceased humans—not so distinct from the Roman Catholic understanding of Saints.) Latter-day Saints associate this appearance of Moroni with a verse from John the Revelator’s vision of…

VIDEO: “First-Generation, Indian-American Muslim Kid” Makes Fun of the President. Onstage.

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ress corps and the absent Trump administration to the biting, funny-because-its-true humor laced with socio-political critique that’s made him a standout senior correspondent on The Daily Show. The full 25-minute speech is worth watching (see video at the bottom of this post), but for those short on time, we’ve excerpted the faith-based funnies Minhaj, who has written for RD, offered at the annual event fondly known as “nerd prom.” “Who would have…

Why Hulu’s “Handmaid’s Tale” May Be the Wrong Adaptation for Trump Era

By Christopher Douglas

…es, “By backing Trump, white evangelicals were playing into the hands of a new, alt-right version of Christianity—a sprawling coalition of white nationalists, old-school Confederates, neo-Nazis, Islamophobes, and social-media propagandists who viewed the religious right, first and foremost, as a vehicle for white supremacy.” It’s too early to tell whether Hulu’s adaptation will try in other ways to capture this other dimension of the Christian Rig…

The Religious Origins of Fake News and ‘Alternative Facts’

By Christopher Douglas

…ds to get better reception among conservatives than liberals, even by a two-to-one margin, has also been recognized. (When one fake news creator was interviewed, he explained, “We’ve tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You’ll get debunked within the first two comments, and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.”) What is it about Republicans that seems to make them more credulous to fake ne…

DC Attorney General Goes ‘Religious Freedom’ Route to Investigate Catholic Church

By Patricia Miller

…announced the establishment of an online portal (ReportClergyAbusetoDCOAG.com) to accept abuse complaints, and on Monday, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu announced the establishment of a hotline and email address to collect reports of abuse by clerics of any faith. Also on Wednesday, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring announced that he had opened an investigation into clerical sexual abuse in that state, citing the recen…

Conservative Christians: Think Twice Before Claiming ‘Islam Is Not a Religion’

By Chad Bauman

…o the basic Semitic [religious] approach,” wrote Ram Swarup in Hinduism vis-à-vis Christianity and Islam. Similarly, since at least 2011, the fiery Radha Rajan has been arguing, as she did for Vijayvaani.com, that all Abrahamic religions like Christianity are intent on conquering the world for their jealous God, and are therefore, “about political power and control of territory,” and that “Abrahamic ideologies are always about numbers.” Fears abou…

What the Hail: Satanists Got Busy in 2018

By Joseph Laycock

…-Portland left TST to become Satanic Portland. TST-Dallas dissolved and TST-New York lost most of its members. Some of the chapter leaders who left are planning a new network for Satanic activists where they may have more autonomy. One ex-member compared the situation to a band that changes its style until it finally breaks up. Those who stayed felt the organization now has a clearer political mission. All agreed August was a painful month. One me…

Dems Should Take Notes From Elizabeth Warren’s Pitch-Perfect Answer on Faith

By Daniel Schultz

…tory the way she wants to tell it, without seeming to pander for the People-of-Faith vote. Which leads us to the other trap Warren manages to avoid. Her response works so well because, as she herself says, faith for her isn’t about ideas, it’s about action. Warren repeats the story of the sheep and the goats from the gospel of Matthew (again, Jack Jenkins points out that she flubs the chapter—it’s 25, not 26), and uses it to make a simple point: t…

Democratic Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Makes Faith 101 Misstep

By Daniel Schultz

…” I think he means it in the narrow sense of Jesus’ named opponents in the New Testament, rather than the broader sense of a synonym for “hypocrites.” You could reasonably argue it either way. It’s still problematic. Unfortunately, not enough Christians understand that Pharisees went on to become the dominant tradition in modern Judaism. Nor do many Christians get that the New Testament sees Pharisees through a partisan lens, as it were. They were…

Recent Debates Highlight Democrats’ Antisemitism Blind Spot—But It’s Not What You Think

By Nylah Burton

…gests, this may be more about the preservation of optics for the sake of a high-stakes campaign. https://twitter.com/JamalDajani/status/1110362705775345664 Like Republicans, Democrats frame their support of Israel as fundamentally American and resulting from the abhorrence of antisemitism. But the Democrats don’t seem interested in the nuances of antisemitism, and they damn sure don’t seem interested in examining their own ingrained antisemitism….
