Christians Must Confront the Lies at the Heart of Whiteness

By Rachel C. Schneider

…lood on their hands, to shed blood, if it means advancing their privilege, comfort, and security. In the wake of Jan 6, we now also have more visual evidence documenting white willingness to create wide-scale destruction and to undermine basic social functioning for the sake of protecting white supremacy. We are confronted yet again by the sanctity afforded white lives (even when engaging in violent and criminal activity) by the state, in comparis…

What Facebook Unwittingly Reveals in its Ban of LifeSiteNews for Covid Misinformation

By Rebecca Todd Peters

…ut abortion as well as sensationalized and fictional stories about biotech companies trafficking in fetal body parts. One medically dangerous falsehood that the website promoted was the idea that medication abortions can be “reversed.” Encouraging the perspective that women who have abortions feel guilty and regretful, information on the website promoted the idea that women can take progesterone after taking mifepristone in order to “reverse” thei…

…ocial media. At a Young America’s Foundation event, your commentator said: https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1386685340522536961 If you think about this country, I don’t know of any other country in the world that was settled predominately by people who were coming to practice their faith. They came here because they were not allowed to practice their particular faith in their own country. And so they came here, mostly from Europe, and the…

Purity Culture is Also About National Purity: Anti-Asian Hate and Purity Culture [Audio]

By Bradley Onishi

…is a way to slip racial, ethnic, and nationalistic purity into equation.” https://twitter.com/BradleyOnishi/status/1372218576518619148 As my co-host says, focusing on the purity of the individual body leads to trying to purify the national body. Purity culture is a step away from a pure national body. A body whose borders are not breached by foreign invaders, including sexual tempters and those of low morals. If purity culture puts undue pressure…

Don’t Discount Evangelicalism as a Factor in Racist Murder of Asian Spa Workers in Georgia

By Chrissy Stroop

…, are protected from what should be the full consequences of their crimes. https://twitter.com/C_Stroop/status/1372225557237145601?s=20 Evangelical purity culture is, of course, grounded in the specifically American inflection of white supremacism, with the sexualization of brown and especially Black bodies that goes along with a performative obsession to “protect” white women from Black men, who are assumed to be predatory. We can trace this raci…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…d strong Christian nationalist ties: 98 percent of the 147 were Christian, compared to 88 percent of Congress. Christian and Christian nationalist are not the same thing, but FFRF’s analysis makes a convincing case that most of the 147 fall into the latter category, including Greene. Greene’s Christian Nationalism is obvious in that oath video to the very end. One of her fellows says, “The bottom line is that sharia law is not compatible with Amer…

Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

…istians,” conveniently shielding Christianity from any systemic criticism. https://twitter.com/BethMooreLPM/status/1346936670608879617 These moves, often made by people with good intentions, serve to reinforce Christian supremacism by equating “Christian” with “good,” a privilege our society does not afford to religious minorities or the nonreligious. Those of us who fall into one of those categories are in fact directly harmed by discourse that p…

The Sex Scandal Following Whole Foods’ Guru

By Michael Schulson

…if its leaders—particularly the CEO—are not learning and growing as well. Companies can become blocked from essential organizational evolution if their founder is psychologically and spiritually stuck. One can sympathize with Mackey’s dilemma: the very language of this statement, with its emphasis on spiritual evolution, seems drawn directly from the writings of Gafni and his fellow travelers in the New Age movement. It’s harder to sympathize wit…

The Way of the Brother: How Critics Missed the Boat on Tree of Life

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…d a promotional website for the film carries the title: twowaysthroughlife.com. Comments on the film (by critics and in the comment sections of major media outlets) typically ape this dualistic proclamation. But as I watch my daughters play, in amiability and animosity alike, I realize The Tree of Life is not merely about parental spouses acting out nature and grace in divergence from their childrens’ lives. The film, and the reality of growing…

What Did the Puritans Have Against Christmas?

By Bruce David Forbes

…, and the disagreement was between Christians. American Christmas wouldn’t come roaring back, becoming nearly universal, until the mid-1800s, but it was not because of any campaign by churches. Most credit for the return and advance of Christmas goes to major cultural influences like Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and the morphing of St. Nicholas into Santa Claus. Dickens’ famous story did not reflect the Christmas of his time but instead was…
