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

…#CarefreeBlackGirl? I think it’s just timing in some ways. The best way to talk about it is in terms of the reception we held. The reception was on July 7th—just after two very tragic killings of black men and subsequent killings of police officers. When the reception happened that same week, more than 1500 people showed up and that was really phenomenal. People were looking for a space to heal. When some of them came into this environment, it was…

Walking Dead and Zombie Ethics, or “Don’t Fight the Zombies. You Can’t Win”

…n’t speak for themselves. They can moan and groan, but usually they cannot talk. In World War Z, these monsters growl like jungle cats as they dart after human prey. Zombies can’t tell us what they mean, so they become a blank slate for creators and audiences to work out anxieties, both social and personal. Zombies become the perfect monsters to communicate cultural demise and apocalyptic longing. While they moan, shamble, and run, they also signi…

Republican Scandals Drag Secretive ‘Family’ Into the Big Time

…ic establishment using the rhetoric of democracy to hold onto power. Let’s talk about the former first, the anti-democratic fundamentalists who use democratic methods—Anthea’s killer rabbit, the strangely swimming bunny that almost bit Jimmy Carter in the middle of a lake. Looks like a bunny, swims like a—hey, wait a minute! Rabbits can’t swim! That’s our clue that this killer rabbit is a hybrid, part bunny, part shark. Which is to say, sort of li…

No, Rush Limbaugh Did Not Hijack Your Parents’ Christianity

…earth Christian man who, a decade or more ago, came under the influence of talk radio. For many, Rush Limbaugh was the gateway drug. It started as an occasional hit, maybe just on the car radio from time to time. At first, there was still some critical distance. Not all of the jokes earned a chuckle, and coarse language might induce a cringe, here or there. Over time, however, it developed into a habit, and God-fearing, eminently respectable Chris…

Turn on the News: Why Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Faith Doesn’t Matter (But Amy Coney Barrett’s Did)

…gatekeeper in bad faith. Which is not to say that it’s entirely useless to talk about religion in a context like a judicial nomination. How we talk about our faith, or lack thereof, can give valuable insight into character, wisdom, empathy, and a host of other qualities. But in the end, the most reliable guide to what we’ll do in the future is what we’ve done in the past. The real difference between Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’…

Aliens, Nanobots, & Microbes: The Science of Secular Apocalypse

…nity probably began as an apocalyptic movement. Islam—a lot of people have talked about that having been started as an end-times, eschatologically motivated religion. All the way through Marxism. You know, Nazism had integral millenarian components. Then you get a new kind of millenarian thinking after the atomic age started. Suddenly, people are starting to think about human extinction. You get things like Ray Kurzweil’s techno-rapture Singularit…

U.S. Bishops (Who Lit Religious Liberty Fuse) Urge Civility

…ion and said it was the Catholic Church being discriminated against: If we talk about discrimination, we have to talk about discriminating against the Catholic church … I wonder if across the board we aren’t seeing different measuring rods being used … why would it be discrimination for a Catholic university to say we aren’t going to allow a gay rights or an abortion rights group to have their program on our campus and it not be discrimination for…

RDBook: Christian Culture Clash

…ds. They’re out-reproducing liberals by two to one. Some churches actually talk about reproducing, growing by reproducing. They’ve created family culture, and they do that really well. You see a closer split between males and females in evangelical churches, and they’re intentionally reaching out to young people. Why are liberal churches declining? Liberal churches, more or less, are for post-60-year-olds. What I’d say to liberal churches is that…

Doubting Obama: A Response to Harper’s and Simon Critchley

The November issue of Harper’s includes the transcript of a talk given by Simon Critchley, chair of philosophy at the New School, aptly titled: “The American Void.” The talk, a meditation on the enigmas of belief in Barack Obama’s piety and politics, provides a window into the president-elect’s existential universe and, by extension, our own. Critchley correctly notes that Obama has made belief in the common good a cornerstone of his campaign, an…
