Our Need for Sports During the Pandemic is Far Deeper Than Just Entertainment

By Terry Shoemaker

…, our office spaces, favorite restaurants, or a drink with friends top the list. For me, and numerous sports fans and athletes across the globe, what we exceptionally crave right now are sports. This might seem obvious: we’re bored and looking for distracting entertainment. But I think there’s something deeper and richer that’s missed in this current moment with the suspension of sport and play for athletes and fans across the globe. Scholars in t…

The C Word

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…, however, I doubt I could get a job at any of the employers that made the list. You see, I’m not really “their kind” of Christian – because when they say “Christian” – they mean a religious right kind of Christian. Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI) surveyed more than 11,800 employees in 124 organizations “to identify great workplaces with a Christian mission and/or values.” The surveys ostensibly asked about such things as “job satisfact…

Transitions: Caitlyn Jenner, Gender Identity, and Christians Behaving Badly (Again)

By Daniel Schultz

…ementary functions to them. In Genesis 5, the phrase comes at the end of a list of the descendants of Adam and Eve. Its purpose is clearly to make the claim that God of Israel was responsible for creating all the primal ancestors of humanity, not just some or a portion thereof. Likewise, in Genesis 1, that humankind was made “male and female” comes in the middle of a list of God’s work in creating fish, animals, and plants. So again: God created e…

Israel Claims Holy Sites, Reignites Religious Flashpoint

By Orly Halpern

…s would be renovated, but that they were included on a “national” heritage list, suggesting that they will become a part of Israel. “Listen, no one can argue that Cave of Patriarchs is not a central heritage site to the Jewish people,” said Rabbi Arik Ascherman, executive director of Rabbis for Human Rights. “Now it is up to the government to prove that this is not a statement of intent that this will be held forever by Israel.” But the rabbi of t…

Creationism 3.0: Meet Intelligent Design’s Huckster

By Michael Schulson

…f the book he almost acts like one. All of which is to say that a laundry list of errors doesn’t get to the meat of Darwin’s Doubt. Meyer is the finest kind of huckster: he doesn’t tell lies, he merely rearranges truths. Darwin’s Doubt is a toxic blend of hasty conclusions, cracked arguments, and terminological confusions. It’s also, for those who are keeping count, a New York Times bestseller. More plausible than the arguments of 6,000-year-old-…

Who Are The ‘Religious Progressives’— and Why Use Such an Odious Term?

By Hussein Rashid

…y and religiously, and how these definitions intersect. If you look at the list of attendees at the PFBC, you see many of the same players that are discussed in Silk’s article. However, the list of the PFBC is far larger in terms of representation of different faiths. It seems as though the debates we had in micro are being writ large, and religious progressives, regardless of how you define the term, are simply falling into the structures created…

If By “American” and “Religious” You Mean “Republican” and “Conservative Christian,” Then Yes…

By Eric C. Miller

…subpoenas as examples of anti-faith atrocity during the Obama administration, each carefully selected for partisan utility, and each highly disputable even among people of faith. “Sadly, these are not isolated instances of government attacking religious practitioners,” he laments. “The list goes on and on.” With primary examples like these, one suspects that Connelly’s list is actually pretty short, and carefully limited to matters of concern for…

The Rise and Fall of an American Gang: Religion as Camouflage?

By Spencer Dew

…and describing Moorish Science—which in many of its Chicago manifestations promotes a “sovereign citizen” ideology wherein Moorish nationalism is, counter to Noble Drew Ali’s original teachings, incompatible with American citizenship—as having the “primary objective” of “connect[ing] African Americans with a proud heritage, thereby circumventing the stereotypical picture of Africa, its inhabitants, and their black American descendants as savage an…

Conservative Christians Celebrate the Death of RBG

By The Editors

LGBTQ Nation’s Bil Browning has compiled a list (with a big assist from Right Wing Watch) of conservative Christians celebrating the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Perhaps unsurprisingly this list does not violate RD’s unwritten ‘Westboro Baptist Church’ Rule (which stipulates that it’s hardly newsworthy to identify a fringe pastor in rural Kentucky with a single-digit congregation to make a point about extremism more broad…

Bishops, It Is Nobody’s Fault But Your Own

By Kate Childs Graham

…y these issues are “non-negotiable”—and they haven’t included peace in the list. However, read what John Carr, Director of the USCCB Department of Peace, Justice, and Development had to say about the Catholic Church and peace: Peacemaking is not an optional commitment, as the bishops state. It’s a requirement of our faith. Peacemaking is not simply nuclear disarmament. It’s putting an end to violence in its many forms. Not an optional commitment….
