Can Government Solve The Evil Of Mass Shootings? A Response to Mollie Hemingway

By Daniel Schultz

…example, shows God forming a new society out of the disorganized slaves of Egypt. That society comes complete with its own form of government. When that structure doesn’t work for the humans, God endorses a change. God warns against the change, but does go along. Later, when the new form doesn’t work out, God endorses another change. Again, the approval comes with a warning, but in the end God says, “If that’s what you really want…” This sets up t…

The Convergence of Passover and Easter Can Leaven (or Unleaven) the Interfaith Family’s Holiday

By Samira K. Mehta

…s recounted, it’s done in the first person plural, “When we were slaves in Egypt.” In the very first interview that I did while writing Beyond Chrismukkah, a Unitarian Universalist woman committed to raising Jewish children reflected that it took years for her to feel that she was included in that “we.” For more than a decade, she felt left out at her in-laws’ seder table, and even at her own, though she had done half of the cooking. While the his…

Why I Wrote the Freedom Seder And Why It’s Still Necessary 50 Years After Dr. King’s Assassination

By Arthur Waskow

…still higher pyramids of profit, I realize that never again can the Seder freeze. Now, again, we need a new Freedom Seder. “In every generation …” Indeed. What makes time and life into a spiral, instead of a straight line or an endless circle, is setting aside time for reflection, rest, renewal. That renewal-time—Shabbat, the Sabbath; each pause to bless Creation and say I-Thou before we make use of it; the Great Shabbat when, we are taught, we m…

Betrayed at the Polls, Evangelicals of Color at a Crossroads

By Deborah Jian Lee

…t just perpetuate xenophobic evangelical culture. He rarely brought up his Egyptian heritage or the fact that he spoke Arabic, and he distanced himself from Egypt’s Muslim-majority population by going “out of my way to make sure people knew I was a Christian.” George acknowledges that he has been “complicit in every aspect of the (white evangelical) system.” But this new administration has changed everything for George and evangelicals of color ac…

If Pelosi Is Guilty, So’s Jesus

By Jill Marshall

…ry. There is a legend that 72 translators produced the Greek Septuagint in Egypt in the third century BCE, but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t multiple Greek versions floating around during John and Paul’s time in the first century CE. Another possibility is that John and Paul may have been working from memory rather than a printed text in front of them. Ancient Mediterranean culture was a much more oral culture than we experience today. Book…

The White Nationalist Fantasy of Ancient Christian-Muslim Conflict Would Get an ‘F’ in History Class

By Tony Keddie

…he Theotokos (“God-bearer”). Some Christians in places like Syria, Persia, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Arabian peninsula resisted these doctrines. In these regions, there were two main theological camps—the Monophysites, who spoke of Christ as having “one nature of the incarnate Word” (Logos), and the Nestorians who accepted that Christ had two harmonious natures but refused to attribute human sufferings to the divine nature. They also called Mary th…

Israel Votes to Limit Sheldon Adelson

By Sarah Posner

…imed at limiting the free distribution of Israel Hayom (Israel Today), the free newspaper owned by American casino magnate and Republican super-funder Sheldon Adelson. The same Sheldon Adelson who, at the inaugural meeting of the Israeli American Council in Washington on Sunday, said, “I don’t like journalism.” Haaretz’s Anshel Pfeffer explains the anti-Adelson bill that advanced today: The law, proposed by MK Eitan Cabel (Knesset) and sponsored b…

Aasif Mandvi on Islamophobia, Acting, and the Long Shadow of Jon Stewart

By Haroon Moghul

…a writer, a comedian, in a lot of creative spaces. What’s the line between free speech and bigotry? Wow. What is the line between free speech and bigotry? Look, there’s always going to be free speech, and it’s a fundamental right. We are allowed to speak our minds. But bigotry will always exist—there will always be a certain amount of prejudice, and I don’t think you can eradicate that. What I wanted to do was address some of that prejudice, the m…

The Economy is Sacred, Stupid

By Gary Laderman

…g that keeps Americans from their hard-won incomes and dreams of financial freedom in a free market is a disgrace, if not downright devilry. Tea Partiers and party-challenged Republicans are basking in the glory of their victories, secure in the knowledge that a message pitting the “little man” against the “big government” resonated deeply and widely for many Americans in the first decade of the 21st century who hate government, love the military,…

Might, Right, and White Privilege: It’s Morning in America, the Sequel

By Diane Winston

…might, right and white privilege. Reagan truly believed that his notion of freedom—democracy, free markets and religious liberty—was God’s plan for America. He also believed that America was God’s tool for spreading freedom worldwide. In the years following his presidency, his vision was enacted through domestic and foreign policy. Welfare reform, trade agreements, and the War on Terror may have seemed to further neoliberal or neoconservative aims…
