In Order to Move Forward We Must Believe the Unbelievable: Some Choose Death Over Democracy

By John Stoehr

…n you know you’re going to come back and do it over again. https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/1328319845012824065 When people would rather believe they’re dying from lung cancer than from Covid-19—that’s what Doering reported to CNN—what can you do as a nurse? Nothing, except get “sad and mad and frustrated.” What can you do as a citizen? Well, pretty much the same thing. You cannot expect cooperation from people who believe cooperation is defeat,…

Did Religion Matter in the Election? (Part I)

By Julie Ingersoll

…tian Reconstructionists (the number of people in attendance has ranged from 300 to 3000). I see religion everywhere; even in places that are ostensibly secular, just beneath the surface is a God and Country patriotism that is rooted in conservative American Protestantism and which undergirds and informs all manner of political judgments. The Brookings “full report,” only 20 pages long, is largely an interpretation without the inclusion of the ac…

Sex and the Chosen People: Be Fruitful and Multiply, Etc.

By Mandy Van Deven

…true. I also think, more to the point, that feminism (and, I’d argue, queer- and trans-liberation) has the ability to save Judaism, to help it return to our highest ideals. Religion can and should help us to live our greatest aspirations, and any time that it fails to help us, individually and as a community, live out our potential in the greatest possible way, it fails us. Feminism has asked vitally important questions of Judaism and Jewish life,…

Searching in Vain for a “Pure” Elie Wiesel

By Martin Kavka

…ce of two Wiesels who died on Saturday: one, the thinker of radical and all-encompassing critique, and another, the thinker of Jewish power. It is tempting to write a piece chastising him for his inconsistencies, for being willing to throw one set of ideas out for the sake of the other (depending on his audience). It is tempting to turn to various political philosophers in order to argue that one of these Wiesels speaks the truth, and the other do…

Pope’s ‘Joy of Love’ Brings Little Joy To LGBT Catholics; Gay Atheist Malaysian Granted Refugee Status In Canada; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…efused to pass marriage equality legislation after an earlier ruling. A pro-equality senator, Armando Benedetti, told the New York Times, “Today is a bittersweet day. I’m happy because LGBT people have equal rights, but I’m sad because although Congress looks like a cathedral outside, it is a manger inside.” The Times’ Paula Duran noted that a Gallup poll earlier this year showed 55 percent of Colombians opposing gay marriage, even though “the Cat…

The Clenched Fist of Truthiness: Why Religion Won’t Fix This

By Daniel Schultz

…age, she’s feeding into a clearly-defined narrative that exists among right-wing websites on the Internet, one that views a clash between conservatives and liberals in almost prophetic terms. I think Holley means “apocalyptic terms” here, implying a final battle between good and evil. No matter, the point is made: the worldview of this video is stark, antagonistic, and manicheaen, drawing sharp and exclusive boundaries between those on the NRA’s s…

Osama and Orientalism: Where Islamophobes Meet Al-Qaeda

By Hussein Rashid

…us group is equally certain to follow every prescription found in the holy book (or books). Can one predict the behavior of a Christian simply by taking a verse out of the Bible and assuming that it has a controlling influence over that person? Orientalism, as it applies to religious texts, takes the Qur’an and tries to understand it through the lens of how one might understand the Gospels. Although most people would acknowledge that a Jewish read…

The Islamophobia Dodge of the Religious Freedom Pledge

By Sarah Posner

…Bishops and some evangelicals against providing insurance that covers cost-free birth control.) Religious persecution is a serious issue, and it’s true that Christians experience actual religious persecution in many places in the world. But being deprived of the ability to force one’s religious beliefs on all one’s fellow citizens in a secular democracy does not constitute persecution, and marginalizing Muslims in the name of “protecting” the Con…

Mass Bible-Based Sexual Dysfunction as Root of Culture Wars? Frank Schaeffer Breaks It Down

By Frank Schaeffer

…lain the issues from the point of view of someone who could say “been-there-done-that” and give an insider’s perspective. Lastly (and this is harder to explain), I felt that the story of the religious right has been told badly because it’s been treated as either an academic subject (for instance when “explaining” the Reconstructionists in terms of American religious history) or a political subject (say the way MSNBC treats religion as it relates t…

Faith in the Market Is Our National Religion, Says Theologian Harvey Cox

By Alan Levinovitz

…es theological tenets that are empirically undecidable.” But the economists-as-theologians analogy falls short of in several ways, no matter how popular it might be. If rival camps and nasty skirmishes over un-empirical first principles are what define theology, then virtually every academic discipline qualifies, along with some arguments I’ve had with my wife. Similarly, the comparison of efficient markets to papal infallibility is too vague to d…
