Here’s the video for the Newsboys’ 2011 song “God’s Not Dead,” which takes place on the day that scientists officially decide God does not exist. (Never mind that science can’t prove the non-existence of anything.) Are you familiar with this urban legend about a Christian student butting heads with an atheist professor?

By Sunnivie Brydum

…had been underreported, neglecting to mention any of the coverage from The New York Times, The Atlantic, Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, or NBC News and Reuters. But the former RNC chairman stepped well outside the realm of reality when he claimed that “80 percent of Americans agree” with putting a wall along the nation’s southern border. Aside from the fact that there is already a wall along the vast majority of the U.S.-Mexico border, a Januar…

By Gillian Kane

…s by the post-Mexican Revolution government to impose anticlerical laws. A New York Times review described the movie’s characters as “clear-cut saints and sinners.” Like the Cristeros fighting against the Mexican lay state, WCF members see their battle as one of religious freedom against an oppressive state bent on forcing them to reject their values and accept a secular, relativist one.

…ives us a reason to adopt this theistic way of seeing the whole, one that doesn’t rise to the level of a proof and isn’t demanded by any purported or actual failures of science.” You might challenge such an argument. You might deny that the theistic way of seeing the world—the world that science describes—has any of the advantages over naturalistic worldviews. But it’s a mistake to treat it as an argument in the same mode as those offered by ID th…

…boys cried aloud with their salty White tears: “Why doest you woketh ones ruin our imaginary worlds?” Thus, the fifth seal was brokeneth. 6. Sun, Moon, and Stars: Jeremy Clarkson is a racist This year we saw The Sun, a British tabloid that most likely panders to half-sentient marshmallows, publish a racist-sexist diatribe by Jeremy Clarkson whose moon-sized ego is only rivaled by that of Trump’s. Clarkson’s lackluster curriculum vitae includes: j…

New Apostolic Reformation Faces Profound Rift Due to Trump Prophecies and ‘Spiritual Manipulation of the Prophetic Gift’

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…that the Bible contains stories of false and true prophets, and that even true prophets sometimes deliver prophetic words which turn out to be false. Lance Wallnau (best known as a theorist of the Seven Mountains of Dominion) essentially blamed Christians for Trump’s defeat, explaining that while God had wanted a second term for Trump, it was Christians who had simply failed to back him up! Prophet R. Loren Sandford was among those who apologized,…

…olic Reformation network. On a practical note, Pfeiffer also announced the new national structure of USCAL, which will be the body that seeks to more methodically deliver on their religious and political vision. They aim to take a less top-down, more bottom-up approach to “reformation,” and emphasize the local church. He and other Summit speakers indicated that this would be the direction of their politics as well, because, as he declared, “Our co…

A ‘Vows’ Piece in ‘The Times’ Shows How Doctrinaire Christian Celibacy Has Become Compared to its Ancient Roots

By Joseph Amar

A recent article in the Style section of the New York Times was a notable departure from the usual fare of wedding and anniversary announcements. Titled ‘Far From Galilee, a Joseph-and-Mary Sort of Marriage,’ (or ‘One Chaste Marriage, Four Kids, and the Catholic Church’ in the online version) the article concerned the highly unusual decision of the author’s parents to forego sexual intimacy for a period of nine years in what is euphemistically re…

…y moving beyond security-focused counterterrorism toward a more broad-spectrum approach. New partnerships are taking shape between experts and government officials. What to make of these developments? First, these programs are the latest installment in a long history of US interventions in religious and political fields abroad. Second, the CVE agenda assumes that religion is the “cause” of various political outcomes, both good and bad. It is the j…

A few hours after NOM’s claim, CBS news reported that negotiations over the scope of the religious exemption—reportedly the sticking point for a number of Republicans in the state senate—were still moving forward. Looks like NOM’s eagerness to declare victory got a bit ahead of the f…
