But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

By Candace E. West

…d destructive way of petty tyrants, moral vacuums, and especially awful two-year-olds throwing a tantrum….And yes, you can quote me.” LP in Houston wanted to “figure out what Trump voters see,” but also hoped Trump might say something to “destroy his campaign.” I told her I wasn’t sure there was anything he could say to accomplish that, given the things he’s already said (she hoped maybe he’d lose younger, undecided voters by saying he’d “jack up…

Why Drew Brees Was Right

By Johnathan Richardson

…try. They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CBA1P3gHpT_/?igshid=1qstwzxn87p2n I’m a pastor in the city that Drew Brees calls home and it’s from this perspective that I say Drew Brees’ comments were right. His comments were right not only because he spoke from his heart but because his comments, especially given the fact that they were made in the midst of everything that’s going on in our country,…

Angels & Demons: America’s Preeminent Pop Theologian Takes on Religion and Science

By Nathan Schneider

…now I’m going to treat it as a barometer for the peculiar state of religion-and-science these days. Here’s what happens (plot spoiler alert). In the basement of CERN, a secret laboratory run by a brilliant “theo-physicist” (as he calls himself in the book) and his “bio-entanglement physicist”/Italian-supermodel adopted daughter, manages to harvest the fruits of the Large Hadron Collider and to generate a couple of tiny pellets of antimatter. If yo…

Purpose Driven Atheism: Secular Maharishis Seeking True Believers

By Frank Schaeffer

…come staggering out of the oppressive thirty-year-plus embrace of the dumb-as-mud, hate-filled religious right; when evangelicals are bullying, harassing, and persecuting gay men and women in the name of God, it’s understandable that decent people run from religion. There is a problem though, for those who flee religion expecting to find sanity in unbelief: they will discover that the madness never was about religion, nor was it caused by faith i…

How to Wreck Your Faith: A Theologian Teaches “Outlaw Christianity”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ofessor Jacqueline Bussie would call that of an “outlaw Christian.” In her new book, Outlaw Christian: Finding Authentic Faith by Breaking the Rules, she applauds those of us who are willing to ask the hard questions of our faith and to challenge mainstream religion’s acceptance of “God under the usual laws of dishonesty, silence, intimidation and fear.” Outlaw Christian: Finding Authentic Faith by Breaking the Rules Jacqueline Bussie Thomas Nelso…

Christian Health Sharing Ministries Aren’t All Corrupt — But Here’s Why They Are a Problem

By Chrissy Stroop

…n is intense. As someone who attended Christian schools for all but one-and-a-half years of my elementary and secondary education, I should know. Privatizing public goods is not good policy, and the Reaganite “starve the beast” approach to governance is bad enough on its own. But privatizing public goods so that they can be manipulated by adherents of an extremist ideology is even worse policy, and if those who assure us that they are very concern…

The “Marginalization” of Tim Keller: When Anything Short of Adulation Is Oppression

By Anita Little

…onoring Keller for his “urban mission,” it’s easy to forget the work of not-as-visible clergy, activists and scholars—many of them women or people of color or queer—who have been active in these communities for years to little fanfare. Keller’s supporters love to lionize him and his Redeemer Presbyterian Church, but one rarely sees discussion on how Keller’s rise to the spotlight in NYC might have come at the expense of less societally privileged…

Rick Perry and the New Apostolic Reformation

By Sarah Posner

…. Nor is the Republican dance with spirit-filled, demon-casting-out, laying-on-of-hands Pentecostals new. Bright, incidentally, played a crucial role during the Reagan era of bringing Pentecostals—you know, those spirit-filled people with all those bizarre beliefs and worship practices—into the political fold. As I wrote in 2008 after Virginia Beach Pentecostal pastor John Gimenez died of a stroke at the age of 76: Gimenez was not well known outsi…

What Does a Moral Economy Look Like for the 99 Percent?

By Jonathan Rosenblum

…ail to bolster political or economic demands (the sort of utilitarian “rent-a-collar” approach that is common in movement circles today), but rather political and economic demands that are made on the basis of a moral foundation. It will take wrenching change to transform today’s labor movement. It requires us to think about the labor movement as a moral force in society, not just an economic actor. One of the key lessons from Sea-Tac is that the…

Ask the Dust: Unbelievers, Bunker-Dwellers, Anti-Natalists

By The Editors

…folks who have lost loved ones, money, or their own sense of self to faith-on-the-fringes have a harder time with academic distinctions. So, just for the purpose of your question let’s say by “cult” we mean religious or spiritual group that seems to be more about psychological (and financial) control than spiritual growth. Telltale signs of such a project include: 1) isolation of individuals from “outsider” friends and family; 2) a new vocabulary…
