Daily Show Takes on Noah’s Christian Haters

By Gwynne Watkins

…n thinking—that everything should be uplifting and happy, all the time—really doesn’t line up with the content of the Bible. Or with the content of life, for that matter. And for that priest who said that the Bible only refers to God as “God,” Blue Letter Bible has this list of things that God is called in the Old Testament: Introduction El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty) El Elyon (The Most High God) Adonai (Lord, Master) Yahweh (Lord, Jehovah) Jehova…

Noah, Cosmos Controversies Not About Biblical Literalism

By Dan Mathewson

…a week, and news coverage of the controversy surrounding the film may finally—mercifully—be reaching its saturation point. If you only half paid attention to the Noah hullabaloo, trust me, you’ve heard it all million times before: conservative Christians are howling mad at [insert something popular]. Whether it’s the Grammys, the A&E Network, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the holiday season, yoga, Harry Potter, the purple teletubby, or now Noah, media head…

What Robot Theology Can Tell Us About Ourselves

By Michael Schulson

…o our lives?’” says Staley, referring to a range of digital tools. “Typically, and especially in the Christian community, I think the response to these sorts of things has been very minimal.” He suggests that, quite simply, most people don’t connect faith to the seemingly commercial details of, say, iPhones, or robots that care for the elderly, or the dynamics of personal relationships conducted over Skype, even though these changes have a bearing…

Louis CK Asks on SNL: “How Could We Not Have a [Divine] Mother?”

By Holly Welker

…g happened…. How could we not have a mother? Heavenly Mother is an absolutely foundational bit of Mormon doctrine that is very rarely discussed—in fact, worshiping her can get you excommunicated. Some Mormons think we aren’t even supposed to talk about her, but her existence in Mormon theology is at least acknowledged in the recent essay about whether we’ll get to have our own planets in the next life. One source Mormons rely on to establish God t…

Noah v. Kitschy Jesus: A Tale of Two Movies

By Jay Michaelson

…at some people, perhaps most people, never went through this quintessentially sophomoric phase. Oddly, they seemed not to have read Clement Greenberg. They liked Norman Rockwell unironically. They still looked at “abstract” art and said “my pet could do that.” They listened to Richard Marx. This was especially true in America, where clichés ruled the political airwaves, as well as the radio dial, back when such a thing mattered. And it was especia…

Francis Must Make Changes to Have a Real Effect

By Patricia Miller

…t Benedict’s papacy was pretty much a disaster for the church, I find it a bit surprising that three-quarters of Catholics still had a generally favorable view of the guy. To me, as I said, it suggests that most Catholics don’t pay much attention to the particulars in Rome and have a more or less favorable view of every pope. And while Francis is obviously popular, even an 11 point increase isn’t all that huge, particularly given that Benedict’s p…

Confessions of a Hater

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s no reason for me to hate you.” Likewise, I now find myself unable to feel true animosity for Phelps. His, and my student’s, politics and past actions are abhorrent to me, but I don’t want to simply, reflexively hate. Instead I want to become a “hater” who models grace, a “hater” who makes my enemy think twice about whom he might exclude from his perfect world….

The Secret History of Easter

By Joseph Laycock

…abbits) were incorporated into Easter festivities. But Christians are hardly ignorant of this history. As early as the Protestant Reformation there were debates about purging Pagan elements from Easter. Furthermore, the idea that Pagan influences somehow supersede Easter’s significance as a commemoration of Christ’s death and resurrection is patently absurd. However, the Bell Jar piece is still generating comments claiming that Easter really is a…

…towards me, a thing of harassment. I think that in a lot of ways they really, honestly, genuinely mean that people should pray for me cause I’m convertible,” says the co-author of Crow After Roe: How “Separate But Equal” Has Become the New Standard in Women’s Health and How We Can Change That.

Muslim, Immigrant, Teenager…Superhero: How Ms. Marvel Will Save the World

By Wei Zhu

…mala’s energy. The standard teenage narratives about peer pressure and family expectations apply, and the main conflict stems from a disagreement over whether Kamala can attend a party (naturally, she sneaks out to do so). But Islam plays a significant role throughout the story, and to Wilson’s credit, it never feels forced. Nakia, Kamala’s Turkish-American friend, may be the most interesting supporting character; having recently embraced her Musl…
