Thoughts from the “Bad Hombre” Debate

By Candace E. West

…ble. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.’ Of course, you can’t do ANY of that legally, because it’s the very definition of voter intimidation, which is illegal. The Code of Laws of the United States of America states that: “Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote…

Have White Evangelicals Become More Accepting of Candidates’ Personal Immorality, as New Data Suggests?

By Michael Schulson

…mong white evangelicals, as one journalist put it on Twitter? Not necessarily. Or, more accurately, it depends what you mean by “sudden.” For starters, it’s important to remember that the survey is comparing data from a non-election year (2011) with data taken less than a month before a presidential election. When you ask a question like this in a non-election year, respondents are likelier to grapple with the question in abstract terms. They may…

As UN Considers Status of Women, It’s Time for the Vatican to Take Its Rightful Place

By Mary E. Hunt

…idental tourist” at the UN. Vatican City, the geographic place where the Holy See resides, was part of early international postal, radio, and telegraph agreements. A century ago, the decision to grant quasi-state status to a golf course-size parcel of land with more chairs than permanent residents happened without much thought to the precedent and consequences. Today, the institutional church is essentially a global, male-run, top-down corporation…

God Need Not Be Real, But the Black Hole Photo Is

By Ed Simon

…those fortuitous coincidences that almost make otherwise rational people a bit superstitious, it’s been almost exactly a century since those lights were askew in the heavens; this week we were all gifted with a vision of one of those most terrifying and wondrous predictions, the unblinking eye of a black hole some 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun, about 55 million light years from Earth, at the center of a supergiant elliptical galaxy called…

In the Story of the New Testament We Are the Romans—No Matter Who Wins the Election

By Stephen Hinerman

…Empire and to the values of the very man holding it aloft. You can certainly argue that the early church found opposing the Empire to be an unwinnable war. Their early opposition to empire in time changed into values more acceptable to Rome, in order to blend in and be safe. And perhaps the survival of Christianity as we know it would not have been possible if that accommodation had not been made. But we cannot give ourselves over to the illusion…

The ‘C’ Word: What We’re Missing When We Talk About ‘White Privilege’

By Murali Balaji

…g literature coming out on whiteness over the last decade and a half—actually probably now two decades—and I always thought that there was an element missing. That the religion element wasn’t getting highlighted. I mean, there’s so many instances in U.S. history, whether we’re talking Native Americans and the Civilization Act of 1819, or immigration law, or even when we’re talking about people who are enslaved, religion is an element of that story…

What is Juneteenth to America? It Has to Be More Than ‘Black 4th of July’ if It’s to Be Truly Meaningful

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…s the Fourth of July to the Slave?” to a Rochester, New York audience on July 5th, 1852. Thanksgiving equally poses a disputed public memory as some Native Americans and their allies since 1970 have designated the American civil holiday as a national day of mourning. Social scientists Eric Woodrum and Arnold Bell in “Race, Politics, and Religion in Civil Religion among Blacks” noted that African American are less inclined to identify with the symb…

Will ‘Pandemic Time’ Save Us From the Inhuman and Destructive Demands of ‘Fossil-Fuel Time’?

By Whitney Bauman

…beings (often just some human beings) in the most efficient and economically productive way. We are literally re-creating the planet in the image of a fossil-fueled humanity. From this perspective, because ambiguity and complexity are too time-consuming and cannot be tolerated, we project certainty where none exists through externalizing social and ecological costs: the bulk of which are borne by poor, and black and brown bodies. The only other o…

Before We Scold DeSean Jackson and Others For Anti-Semitism We Need To Talk About ‘Chosenness’

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…ants we should expect to continue to return to this issue far more frequently. Simply put, we cannot continue to ignore and overlook the uneven and asymmetric social, political, and economic relationship between African Americans and white Jews in this nation. It’s about power. Again. Therefore, to accurately depict what attracted DeSean Jackson and countless other African Americans to the idea that Black people are the chosen people we must see i…

Should Biden Reach Out to White Evangelicals?

By John Stoehr

…ction. He’s so conscious of the need to hold on to WEPs he’s sounding apocalyptic—as if the “pro-life moment” will end in fire and fury, along with the rest of the world, if Joe Biden wins. One percent is probably hyperbole, but it raises a couple of interesting questions: are WEPs gettable, and if so, how many? Ronald Sider says yes, they’re gettable. In an op-ed for USA Today, the former head of Evangelicals for Social Action said progressive WE…
