Conservative Christians: Think Twice Before Claiming ‘Islam Is Not a Religion’

By Chad Bauman

…ins for their claims that they alone possess the singular path to God or salvation. “The fact is that intolerance is inbuilt into the basic Semitic [religious] approach,” wrote Ram Swarup in Hinduism vis-à-vis Christianity and Islam. Similarly, since at least 2011, the fiery Radha Rajan has been arguing, as she did for Vijayvaani.com, that all Abrahamic religions like Christianity are intent on conquering the world for their jealous God, and are t…

The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

By Shaul Magid

…ted and repudiated, this is a political positionality that many Jews themselves did not assume when it came to Kahane. Even after Kahane was removed from the Israeli Parliament and deemed a “racist” by the Jewish state, he was invited to speak at Yeshiva University as recently as 1988. And he spoke at Brandeis University in 1990, where I was then a graduate student, only a few days before he was assassinated. I do not criticize those who defended…

What the Hail: Satanists Got Busy in 2018

By Joseph Laycock

…plained about working with Satanists and that the partnership must be dissolved. Later, the YWCA claimed this had been a miscommunication. There were no hard feelings from the chapter, but by then, they had already found another partner for their campaign in “Go with the Flow.” TST-UK collaborated with artist Darren Cullen to subvert a new law in Bavaria requiring all public buildings to be adorned with a cross (in response to an influx of Muslim…

Dems Should Take Notes From Elizabeth Warren’s Pitch-Perfect Answer on Faith

By Daniel Schultz

…the only place in the New Testament that describes the requirements for salvation, but oh well, next time.) Warren only mentions values once and morals not at all, much less #reclaimingChristianity, #moralrevolution, or whatever other silly focus-grouped hashtag is going around these days. That allows her to step out of the weak framing of “liberal people have values too,” which only ends up reinforcing the conservative message that they don’t. B…

Democratic Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Makes Faith 101 Misstep

By Daniel Schultz

Elizabeth Warren was on CNN the other day, and did a crackerjack job expressing how her faith and politics fit together. Meanwhile, South Bend Indiana mayor, first openly gay candidate running in a major party’s primary, and general whiz-kid Pete Buttigieg was on The View, doing…not so well. https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1109213160555184128 Let’s get a couple of quick points out of the way before we get down to the central issue. First, towa…

Recent Debates Highlight Democrats’ Antisemitism Blind Spot—But It’s Not What You Think

By Nylah Burton

…their own interests. And their interests, in this case, unfortunately involve harmful foreign policy objectives. When pro-Palestinian activists decry U.S. support for the oppressive government of Israel, common Democratic responses are statements that assert U.S. support for Israel is “ironclad and bipartisan.” But while Republican support for Israel is clearly more noxious, bipartisan support doesn’t absolve the Democrats of possessing ulterior…

Russian Operative Maria Butina, Who Leveraged Christian Right Connections, Sentenced For Conspiracy

By Becky Garrison

Russian National Maria Butina, 30, was sentenced to an 18-month prison term Friday in Washington after failing to register as a foreign agent for conspiring to infiltrate conservative U.S. political circles for the Kremlin. In December, Butina pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to act as a Russian agent in the U.S. without registering with the Justice Department. While her case has been handled separately from the Mueller investigation, th…

When Fundamentalism Follows You Out the Door: Transphobic Statement Exposes Exvangelical Trauma

By Chrissy Stroop

…trol of the narrative around evangelicalism from evangelical leaders themselves, who are masters at PR and spin. But, for traumatized people, healing generally requires professional help. As sexuality and embodiment coach Jamie Lee Finch stresses, survivors’ groups are not a substitute for therapy. Several weeks ago, Finch herself became the target of a Twitter mob for tweeting that there is no such thing as progressive Christianity, a hot take th…

Prosperity Gospel Prayers Aren’t Sufficient to Save Hurricane Victims

By Tony Keddie

…g Government.” Whether believers are supposed to rely more on God or themselves as a hurricane destroys their homes, they are not supposed to rely on the government. Sure, Christian relief organizations like Samaritan’s Purse and Convoy of Hope might offer some aid, but their role in disbursing federal funds is also an indictment against government institutions of relief, as Inderpal Grewal observes in Saving the Security State, and they often com…

Should Christians Confess to Plants? A Cranky Meditation

By Greg Carey

…turning back upon ourselves. My reservation about confession to plants revolves around the mysteries of plant biology. The best I can tell, plants are not sentient. Plants do not actually suffer, nor do they enjoy or appreciate kindness. They can wither, and they can flourish. Therefore I cannot make sense of what it means to offer confession to plants. Confession requires sentience on both sides of the process. I commend the people who decided th…
