As Pat Robertson Retires, Here Are 10 of His Most Cringeworthy Moments

By Chrissy Stroop

…reputation for saying outrageous things that fake quotes from parody news sites occasionally go viral. After all, Robertson at his worst is so cartoonish that he seems capable of saying anything, so long as it’s offensive right-wing nonsense. And on that note, no, Pat Robertson never said that performing oral sex on women is the root cause of Covid-19. What follows is my personal, and admittedly subjective, top ten list of horrific, outlandish, a…

Jewish? Ready for Hillary?

By Sarah Posner

…es that matter most to Jewish Americans,” reads the new section of the web site of the Super PAC Ready for Hillary, Jewish Americans Ready for Hillary! (Don’t forget the exclamation point to indicate your ultimate readiness). “In every corner of this country, members of the Jewish American community are signing up to say that they are Ready for Hillary!” (Again.) According to a press release from Clinton’s effusive Jewish supporters, Rachel Schnei…

God’s Body, God’s Plan: The Komen Furor and Abortion as Black/Latino “Genocide”

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ings”—especially when you’re building a propaganda campaign. Thus ICC’s website also boasts that carrying a baby to full term protects women from developing breast cancer. Evidently if girls and women want to protect themselves from getting breast cancer later in life continuing a pregnancy by rape and/or incest is a viable immunizer. Significantly, the Coalition of Color preaches a hellfire and damnation theme that is carefully crafted to exploit…

The Real Reason For “Vagina-gate”

By Jerry Faught

…. “A Mannish Feel” Not surprisingly, pastor and theologian John Piper’s website featured a review of Evans’ book in which a female reviewer charges Evans with questioning the validity of the Bible and accuses her of “building a comfortable bridge for shaky evangelicals to find their way into theological liberalism.” For the reviewer a denial of inerrancy erodes the gospel. This is typical fundamentalism: accuse Evans of being a liberal who does no…

Are Democrats Losing Their Faith?

By Daniel Schultz

…than a half-dozen has dwindled to one part-time slot. Its faith issues Web site led this week with greetings for Passover (which was in March) and Rosh Hashanah (which was in September). Faith consultants who once had dozens of clients did not play a role in high-profile Democratic losses in the Virginia gubernatorial race in November and in the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat of the late Edward M. Kennedy in Massachusetts in January…

Conservative Christian Teenagers Prepare for Politics

By Robert Kunzman

…mples with religious content. As one curriculum publisher notes on its Web site, “The most original source is always the Word of God, the only foundation for true scholarship in any area of human endeavor.” For most conservative Christian homeschooling texts, it is not a simple case of adding or subtracting information from what a public school student might encounter. Instead, it is a reframing of the entire subject, the telling of a fundamentall…

Pop-Eye: Meat The Wrestler

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…soul in power, the body a mere marionette. Several of the religious review sites described Randy’s body in metaphorical terms: Randy’s heart attack was really a comment on his loneliness, a broken heart over his daughter’s estrangement, and the utter lack of any other community. Reviewers persisted in maintaining this dualism, that the double identities Randy and Cassidy both share ultimately want to get to some core non-physical identity, some ma…

Yerushalmi, National Review, and a Conservative Fight Over Shari’ah

By Sarah Posner

…dly, patently offensive.” Schmitz is the deputy editor of the conservative site First Things. His fight with Yerushalmi (as well as National Review contributor and lawyer David French) is a part of an ongoing intra-conservative battle over Islamophobia. In his latest post at National Review, Schmitz writes, logically dismantling Yerushalmi’s panic: It remains the case that anti-sharia activists have identified a grand total of seven cases in 35 ye…

Vandals Deface Easter Billboard in New Zealand

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ee with that. That’s what the vandals were objecting to.” The church’s web site shows a before and after photograph of the billboard. While one can argue about whether a billboard is an effective way to start a deep theological conversation, the same conversation between the church and its vandals has been going on for a long time in Christianity: “Is our religion simply about what we believe about what Jesus’ death accomplished, or is it about ho…

Sean Feucht’s New Year’s Rockin’ Superspreader Revival is a ‘Tepid and Meager’ Effort at Racial Reconciliation

By Isaiah Murtaugh

…d an Echo Park outreach and “redigging the well” stops at the Azusa Street site and at the former home of Aimee Semple McPherson, a mid-century evangelist who founded the Foursquare church. Feucht—who has not responded to multiple requests for comment—said in an Instagram Live video last week that he’s taking inspiration from the public-crisis-driven early days of both movements. Azusa Street came on the heels of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake,…
