Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…s’ collapse. The theme of an evil new world order run by craven elites is extended in the next verse: I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere. This is a reference to Jeffrey Epstein’s island (which for the record was a place of unspeakable atrocities). However, the idea of child trafficking is now a conspiracy haven. When asked about his political views, “Anthony explained in a video introducing hims…

I Met God, She’s Black: An Exhibit Makes the Black Female Body a Temple

By Anita Little

…godlike presence to be able to rise above. One thing that struck me as I explored the exhibition was the several black Madonnas I saw. Growing up the Catholic church, I had always seen the Madonna represented as white. Yes, however in Russia and in the Vatican, the Pope pays homage to a black Madonna. Runoko Rashidi, an African scholar who travels all over the world, goes searching for black Madonnas. He has historical documentation of Europeans…

Why Belief in the Primacy of Language Leads to a Misunderstanding of Richard Dawkins, Islamophobia, and Politics

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…gate into giant dynamic forces, which then loop back and shape individual experiences. Except the currency of affect theory is emotion, which scholars have broken up into much smaller elements like background moods, facial reactions, impulses, and a whole bevy of subtle signals that pass between our brains, bodies, and other people. For much of Western intellectual history, emotions have been dismissed in favor of logic and rationality. If the pas…

Only Fetuses and Popes are Worthy

By Frances Kissling

…as a result of incest or at the hands of family friends in Nicaragua and Mexico from getting abortions. In Mexico, church leaders were called in by a local district attorney to convince “Paulina,” a young girl who was pregnant as a result of rape not to have an abortion. Paulina became a mother in April 2000 at the age of 14. In Mexico, seven out of ten cases of sexual assault are committed by people known to the victim. In Nicaragua, Rosa, also n…

Benny Hinn Can’t Heal His Marriage

By Anthea Butler

…t may be that the healing evangelist is going to have to pay a hefty sin tax to prevent his wife’s divorce attorney from uncovering all sorts of financial malfeasance in the divorce proceedings. The announcement from the ministry raises eyebrows as well. Hinn’s web page has a link to the February 17 statement which simply reads “Press Release: Hinn Family News Reports confirmed by Ministry Executive.” The big D is nowhere to be found on the front…

Does It Matter If Islam Is A Religion? An American Ahmadi Explains The Effects Of Religious Discrimination

By Daniel Schultz

…ul-Haq went a step further, signing an executive order, known as Ordinance XX, prohibiting Ahmadis even from taking part in common Muslim practices such as the call to prayer, using the greeting “As-salamu alaykum,” or reciting the shahada, the Islamic creed: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.” Since then, Zia’s order has been ratified by every successive government. When Mahershala Ali won his Oscar the other night, a Paki…

Lost and Found: Despite the Hope, Morality, and Meaning Inspired by Deconversion, Why is Respect Only For Those Who Find God?

By Robert Repino

…faith. First, Douthat warns of encroaching “scientism” which, in this context, is code for failing to believe the supernatural truth claims of Christianity. Second, paradoxically, Douthat perceives a tendency among non-religious people to embrace the mystical belief systems that he himself rejects, like astrology or wellness. (So much for scientism!) Yet we don’t see any actual evidence that these trends are as widespread among the deconverted as…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…not true, as poll after poll has demonstrated. If you look at this year’s exit polls, for example, you see that people who think abortion should be entirely or mostly legal voted Democratic, and those who don’t voted Republican. That’s a very durable pattern, and I’m not sure why people aren’t able to grasp that. I suspect, however, that it stems from a failure to reckon with the truth that voting largely appears to be a matter of identity, rather…

Packed with Threats of Political Violence, Media Largely Ignore the NAR’s ‘Million Women’ Rally in DC

By Frederick Clarkson

…a Jezebel is also well understood and widely reported on as a racist and sexist trope. Lance Wallnau, for example, notoriously said that Harris represents “the spirit of Jezebel, and in a way that’ll be even much more ominous than Hillary because she’ll bring a racial component and she’s younger.” Melissa Gira Grant, writing in The New Republic, observed, To call a Black woman a ‘Jezebel’ hearkens back to America’s racist and misogynistic history…

Stephen Broden, Beck’s Black Robed Regiment In Action

By Sarah Posner

…who has spoken at tea party rallies and who claimed at Michele Bachmann’s Code Red rally against health care reform that health care reform was “against the law of nature and nature’s God” and “against the Judeo-Christian ethic that this nation was built upon.” Broden also appears in Maafa 21, a propaganda film that claims that reproductive rights are a conspiracy to commit “black genocide.” The film has been promoted by the Frederick Douglass Fo…
