The Return of Government as “Idolatry” and the “Second Amendment Remedies”

…him “toward God.” You can read a “pro-family” review here that warns of sex (kissing) and nudity (a painting of Adam and Eve that shows Eve’s breast). When asked if she was exploring a presidential campaign in Iowa, Angle replied that she was investigating her options. She has since said she is not promoting the film because she is running for president—though is not the same as saying she is not running. For now it looks like she’ll focus on the…

The Story of a Post-Holocaust Group Seeking Revenge Against Nazis is Part of the Story of Israel Itself

…than Israelis. Kahanists came into power who are toying with West Bank annexation, deporting Palestinian citizens of Israel, and banning non-Orthodox converts from the Law of Return. From the perspective of democracy, this is chilling, but if the founding principle of the state is Jewish sovereignty and security, then the calculations are simply different. In Israel, as Peter Beinart noted in a piece after the election, there are certain things th…

From Fox News to the Far(ther) Right — Calls for Violence and Retribution Follow Trump Verdict

…onspiracy theorist Stew Peters, who had previously already called for the execution of Hunter Biden and Anthony Fauci, shared an image of a noose on Telegram, with the words “extreme accountability,” writing: “We are left with NO other option but to take matters into our own hands. ⚔️” Fellow far-right antisemite Mike Cernovic posted on Twitter: Today was a terrorist bomb detonated on our legal system. A September 11th level attack. Not one to sit…

What’s So Scary About the Inclusion of ‘God’ in the Russian Constitution?

…s a suggestion that takes on a much more sinister tone. The Russian Orthodox Church has, to say the least, a bad track record on issues of political liberty and civil rights. Patriarch Kirill himself rather infamously declared in 2016 that “some human rights are heresy.” The Russian Orthodox Church, including close deputies of the Patriarch, were intimately involved in the 2017 law that decriminalized domestic violence in Russia, as well as the 20…

The ‘Spiritual Warfare’ Worldview of Trump’s Conspiracy Doctor is Part of a Transnational Movement

…arfare” language, some Neocharismatic-Pentecostals point to the biblical text of Ephesians 6:12 to explain how “principalities and powers” are demonic forces that control geographical regions across the world. Christian author Frank Peretti has tried to capture the idea of “spiritual warfare” in his novels This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness. Wagner, for his part, systematized “spiritual warfare” as a battle fought on three levels: 1)…

And the Violent Bear It Away? Disciplined Nonviolence and the Coming Election Emergency

…ve coup d’etat. We are not as far from Belarus as we may think. The group exchange exercise didn’t work out for a variety of reasons, but I do not regret making the attempt, because my sole preoccupation right now is to beat the drum as loudly as possible about the importance of Nov. 4 and 5—the days after the election—and the tumultuous and terrifying days that are almost sure to follow. At the very least, the people who joined me in this exercis…

Can White Jews Still Be White if They’re Reviled By White Supremacists?

…the U.S. Colonial Jews were small in number, and their experiences were mixed. While some experienced upward economic mobility, they faced limitations in terms of rights and access. However, Jews were not alone in facing discrimination. Importantly, debates over whether Jews (and other white religious “Others”) would be given rights primarily appear to have engaged with religious freedom. Though some have described white Jews as “becoming white”…

Does Religious Freedom Extend to Child Endangerment? It’s Not as Simple as It Seems

…e building by U.S. government agents. There must be some middle ground—not between right and wrong, but between different understandings of what constitutes abuse. Should spanking children be outlawed? What about circumcision of male infants? What about homeschooling children in religious ideologies that preach hatred? But why stop with practices justified by certain religious beliefs? We could go further and examine whether youngsters should enga…

Douthat’s Criticism of Pope’s Restriction of Latin Mass Is Fascinating; It’s Also Ahistorical and Has Been Used Before

…s. After Vatican II he started a schismatic group, the Society of St. Pius X (sometimes referred to as SSPX). The illegal ordination of bishops by his group gained him excommunication in 1988, and still today the Society of St. Pius X is the most relevant anti-Vatican II group. In his Open Letter to Confused Catholics (1986), Lefebvre described a chain of events from the Enlightenment to Vatican II: “The parallel I have drawn between the crisis in…

Well, the Harris-Trump Debate Happened — Now Enjoy Your Freedom and Choose Wisely

…“average citizen” were overshadowed by talk of China, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, Israel, Iran, Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Yemen, and those faceless “migrants” coming from countries where, according to Trump, violence is actually down (due, we’re left to assume, to their departure). You see, Harris touted that there were no “American military boots on the ground around the world,” as though the US doesn’t have a whopping 750 mi…
