Has This Anti-Muslim Extremist Reformed… Or Just Gotten Less Extreme?

By Nathan Lean

…hat this new chapter is a tactical retreat that will provide Robinson with new comrades and a new platform—one that reaches a broader audience and casts him as a more plausible voice, only with a slightly toned-down message. Hate at half the volume is still hate. Second, will Robinson reject the extremists with whom he has often collaborated—people like Bishop-turned-basement-blogger Robert Spencer and shock jockette of the web, Pamela Geller? It’…

…Messiah. The organization’s goal: to “restore” Israel and the Jews and bring about about the second coming of Christ.” In addition to being widely written about in other media, the story resulted in both the removal of all information about Bush’s appearance from the group’s website, and a fairly tepid statement of “disappointment” from the Anti-Defamation League’s Abe Foxman. Foxman’s capacity to go easy on powerful figures who uncritically supp…

A Pastor’s Suicide: Addressing Mental Health in Black Churches

By Darnell Moore

…Jesus” and the need to rid oneself of the Devil’s power over one’s (always-in-need-of-redemption) life tends to manifest in forms of self-effacement. This kind of self-deprecation can take the shape of woeful lamentations because of one’s wrongdoings or unspoken desires to “free” oneself from sin, sinful temptations, and sinful bodies (even one’s own). I can recall many moments in my own life, particularly when I was a member of various churches,…

Eddie Long Case Should Mark the End of Black Church Homophobia

By Anthea Butler

…rage heterosexual marriage, abstinence, and patriarchal norms. It is an all-encompassing message that is obsessed with the suppression of sexuality in black churches, mega-churches and storefronts alike. The core issue however is “respectability.” The obsession with mainline and black prosperity churches to show well groomed African Americans as prosperous, good, heterosexual Christians has gutted the social justice message of urban black churches…

How Steve Stockman Is Challenging John Cornyn Without Religion

By Sarah Posner

…here the cash is coming from right now. Or maybe touting one’s Christian credentials has become passé, and he knows that is all implied in his liberty-loving, anti-government-tyranny talk. Which would of course make the Tea Party-religious right merger complete….

Did Mark Driscoll Plagiarize the Wrong Person?

By Rob Shryock

…s a pastor, Driscoll is deeply invested in his own “authenticity,” his from-the-heart spontaneity that often leads to bizarre and problematic interpretations of Bible passages. This is because, in the minds of Driscoll’s followers, his directness, looseness, spontaneity, and lack of polish makes him more honest, drawing him away from theologically abstraction and allowing him to engage more directly with God’s truth. He’s a “straight talker.” Now…

It’s s…

By Sarah Posner

…lical patriarchy. Just this week, New Mexico Republican Steve Pearce, in a new book, writes that “the wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice” and “the husband’s part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else.” In 2011, Michele Bachmann had to explain what she meant in a 2006 speech at a megachurch when she said, in de…

Gun Group That Promotes Militias Thrilled With O’Donnell Victory

By Sarah Posner

…ve been under attack for decades. . . . But candidates supported by GOA—pro-freedom champions like O’Donnell, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio, to name just a few—have no intention of coming to Washington to blend into the woodwork. If most or all of these candidates win in November, it will go a long way toward slamming the brakes on the anti-gun, socialist Obama agenda. As Julie and I detailed in a piece in July, the GOA is more than ab…
