Pornographic War Gazing: Why We Don’t Look Away

By Daniel Martin Varisco

…t is out of Christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come. The wrath of Almighty God is now undoubtedly hanging over a great part of this congregation. Let every one fly out of Sodom: ‘Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.’” One need not be a literalist, as Edwards was, to appropriate the sentiment in this closing line for life today. It is not the wrath of God we need fear, but our…

…h this imaginary threat. At the Capitol Visitors Center event, David Yerushalmi, general counsel for the CSP—who has called for banning Muslims from America and written that whites are genetically superior to blacks—portrayed President Obama as an emissary to this world of secret codes and seditious intent, and his much-lauded religious freedom speech in Cairo as evidence of that. . . .

…irdate approaches). Perhaps we might think instead about how the media actually portrays and affects women? Which brings me to…. Thought two: Ever heard of the Bechdel Test? A movie passes the Bechdel Test if, at any point, it contains a scene with two or more women, talking to each other, about something other than a man. The Bechdel Test was developed to expose the dearth of female friendships in movies. Will the Good Christian Bitches televis…

Repurposing the Gospel Aura: Eminem’s Chrysler Ad Borrows Some Spirit

By Douglas Harrison

…age singing—the same choir, we are led to believe, that we’ve been hearing all along. The stage is backlit, and cloud-like smoke billows gently upward behind the singers, giving the impression of heraldic messengers trailing clouds of glory in their journey from on high. As the rapper takes the stage, the chorus crescendos, breaks off abruptly, and then resumes vocalizing in a low, reverent hum, all heads bowed, as if in deference and awe. Envelop…

Apoplectic about Abortion: One Woman’s Emotional Roller Coaster

By Donna Schaper

…, where even rage doesn’t protect our souls. I am now praying for my mental health as a mature woman. I am praying to learn what Jesus could do, which is to love my enemy and be good to those who hurt me. As an adult, and a woman, I know my rage is hurting me as much as it is hurting my opponents. Can I try to understand what the sex police want? Do they want to justify their bathroom behavior? Do they want their mothers to “find something?” Are…

By Joanna Brooks

…ake disciplinary action. It’s a touchy subject to write about. I have to admit it’s always puzzled me that a global church of 14 million members bothers itself with the doings of a minority of liberals in the United States. And I can only imagine how this all looks to people not of the Mormon faith. But according to Melanie, the story of the circumstances that led her to take the video down is not as important as the story of why she put it back u…

By Daniel Schultz

…ght not have known from the furious headlines on Christian websites proclaiming that the 1 million-member UCC will rebuff Christ and God by slashing a reference to God as “Heavenly Father.” Terry Mattingly at GetReligion.org headlined his piece, “Adios to God the Father?” Mattingly, founder of the media critique site, thumped mainstream media for failing to notice a news release from a critic of the proposed change. Without calling UCC to find out…

By Shalom Goldman

…st venture, would stage his next rally in Jerusalem. After all, unconditional support for Israel plays brilliantly with his fans, and proximity to the ‘original seat of power’ can’t hurt when you’re embarking on a new venture. Early Christian Zionist pilgrims to Israel were dismayed to find that the country’s political and cultural elites were for the most part assertively secular. Today, however, the Israeli religious right wields considerable po…
