Southern Baptist Convention Declares Gay Rights Are Not Civil Rights

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s full, tax-paying citizens of the United States of America, you can damn well bet it is a civil rights movement. Nobody copyrighted the phrase, and nobody can, on one hand say, “Yes, we see that you’re being wronged,” and then say, “but you have no right to work for your civil rights, or to call it a ‘civil rights’ movement.” But the SBC certainly does want it both ways. They work in their “love the sinner, hate the sin” philosophy by being clear…

Lila Rose Targets Planned Parenthood with Lies

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ter Mika’l Qualls is reminded “of Corrie Ten Boom and others like her… I feel better going to sleep at night, knowing that God has someone in place who is on the frontlines fighting against this tremendous evil.” And commenter Karen West writes: “Lila has the beauty and brains to do any number of things, but instead, she is laying down her life for those most innocent of all.” But not everyone on the religious right believes that Lila Rose is acti…

Electionpocalypse, Part II: The Mythical Jewish Vote

By Sarah Posner

…Opinion found that just 4.5, 4.2, and 6.1% of respondents ranked U.S.–Israel relations as their first, second, and third top issue in the election, respectively. (Besides, 61% of respondents approved strongly or approved somewhat of the way that President Obama is handling the US relationship with Israel. Whatever that means.) The New York Jewish Week, which is quite conservative on such matters, drilled down further into these figures in an edit…

Taqwacore Roundtable: On Punks, the Media, and the Meaning of “Muslim”

By Shahjehan Khan

…nce of Taqwacore I was hesitant to label things “Islamic.” It implies a level of religiosity that may not be present and obscures other intentions and meanings in the music. I much prefer Marshall Hodgson’s construction of “Islamicate,” for things that may be influenced by Islam, but are not necessarily religious. I am curious about KF’s point about identity crisis. I never heard your music in that way. To me, it is a declaration of the multiple i…

The Perry v. Bachmann Primary at Liberty Unversity

By Sarah Posner

…of God. Believers must become visible demonstrations of the faith and actively help determine national direction. Those in attendance expressed deep concern about the present direction of our country. Our trust must be in God and we need guidance from Divine Providence. For anyone who has watched the religious right since the 1970s, there’s a palpable sense of deja vu. Or, Robert Wilonsky put it at the Dallas Observer, “Party like it’s 1979.” Exce…

What the Conservative Christian “Fake-Trans Bathroom Creeper” Has To Do With Suburban Anxiety

…lp repeal this thing.” In a post for Barton’s Black Robe Regiment network, Ellison elaborates that his vested interest in Springfield’s nondiscrimination policies mainly has to do with commerce. He explains that he was “amazed that such an ordinance would be passed in a city in which I and every member of our congregation do business.” But Ellison’s claim that the City Council “passed it in secret” is hard to square with the available facts. The C…

Why “Family Values” Defined Conservative Christianity (and Why “Religious Liberty” Has Replaced it)

By Eric C. Miller

…ristians because it spoke to two of their central convictions. First, evangelicals believed that gender was part of the created order, that men and women were created by God to fulfill different roles. In traditional families, men provided and protected, while women bore, reared and nurtured children. Movements that viewed gender roles as the product of patriarchal social constructions—such as second-wave feminism—represented a denial of God’s goo…

Civility Only Works When Everybody Stays In The Same Room

By Daniel Schultz

…the Body of Christ yet reject the moral teachings of Scripture,” Wood told freelance writer and conservative Christian blogger John Lanagan. Lanagan expects others to follow suit. The offense that led Wood to withdraw from such a high-minded pursuit? Why, Christians who might accept gays and lesbians as certified human beings: “The problem is the tent that has grown so large on the signatures of this that are including people who are supportive of…

Another “Hot Text” For the War on Women: Rosemary’s Baby

By Mary Valle

…arleston (where he teaches courses on Satan and modernity and monsters—as well as religion) and author of Satan in America and Monsters in America. Having read Poole’s writings on Rosemary’s Baby, I decided to invite him for a little chat about it. In your book Satan in America, you quote Darryl Jones as saying “Rosemary’s Baby is a film about men controlling women’s bodies.” It seems to me that the satanic stuff blinds a lot of people to what the…

US Offers Help For Investigation of Bangladesh Killings

By Peter Montgomery

…Bahamian Trans Lives Matter Campaign, Grace Community Church Pastor Lyall Bethel urged the government to say whether an upcoming referendum on a gender equality constitutional amendment would support a “hidden agenda” or lead to same-sex couples marrying. “The minute the government starts to (discuss) these extreme views, any and every off the wall grouping of people would set out to make their beliefs and practices the norm in this country,” he…
