Obama Threaded the Moral Needle of Latino Evangelicals in ’08

By Gastón Espinosa

…o the press release. Despite their often apolitical posture in the past, a number of Latino evangelicals across generational lines—like Jesse Miranda (CEO of the NHCLC), Samuel Rodriguez (president of the NHCLC), Luis Cortes, Wilfredo de Jesus, and others—are increasingly stressing the twin themes of “righteousness and justice,” which leaders like Miranda and Rodriguez define as the “reconciling message of Billy Graham with the activism of Martin…

TLC Premieres Polygamy Reality Show Sister Wives

By Joanna Brooks

…Utah Valley, and members of the Centennial Park group near Colorado City, Arizona. I guess you might say I’m used to the idea that polygamists are humans. An idea, apparently, that is supposed to be news to the show’s viewers and reviewers. Polygamists! “Bright and generous!” blares the LA Times. “Unexpectedly tight knit and loving!” brag the show’s producers. Wow! They share stuff! The older kids scramble eggs for the younger ones! Some wives wo…

By Ben Lorber

…nce,” the array of voices clustered under the NatCon banner align around a number of goals and priorities. These include a near-total moratorium on immigration (whether documented or not); a robust Christian nationalism to dominate the public square; a rollback of LGBTQ rights; economic nationalism and opposition to “globalist” supranational institutions; hostility to China as a civilizational enemy; a seething vendetta against so-called “woke eli…

Latest Shroud of Turin Theory: Nuclear Emissions

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…ry small samples of the Shroud were radio-carbon-dated in separate labs in Arizona, Oxford, and Zurich, using an already-dated non-Shroud sample of cloth as a control. These tests, as the journal Nature put it, “provide conclusive evidence that the linen of the Shroud of Turin is mediaeval.” That is to say, not nearly old enough to be Jesus’s burial shroud. But for 25 years, people invested in proving the Shroud’s authenticity, self-described “Shr…

By Habiba Farh

…to ensure 86 jurisdictions were compliant with federal voting rights laws. Arizona’s Maricopa County and Georgia’s Fulton County, which were subject to MAGA backed conspiracies of mass voter fraud in favor of Biden, are critical districts within swing states that the DOJ will send poll monitors to. On the state level, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned, “Anybody who thinks it’s time to play militia: Eff around and find out…We do h…

‘Hello, Trump Warriors!’ Little-Known Preachers and Rabble Rousers are the Unregulated Id of the Felon’s First Rally

By Jeff Sharlet

…“heat advisory,” and I remembered a Trump rally I’d reported back in 2016, Arizona, hours in line, no shade, no water, sweat dripping, seniors wilting into ambulances, an old woman pulled away in what looked like a children’s wagon. So I watch from afar, in rainy Vermont, on one of the lesser rightwing channels. It begins, just like in real life, in line. “Costumes of sorts,” proclaims one of the two broadcasters, Vanessa Broussard. Then, as if on…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ll as to ban gay adoption” and “Ben Quayle, who is running for Congress in Arizona who just sent out a mailer to voters touting his opposition to marriage equality.” Mehlman completely contradicts himself by remaining in the GOP and becoming that “individual Republican,” willing to “go against the party consensus.” He said that he plans to be an advocate for gay rights within the GOP, that he remains proud to be a Republican, and that his politica…

Why Scientists Should Be Agnostic: Or, Why Lawrence Krauss Is Still a Windbag

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…est, most thoughtful people he knows. So what raised Andrew’s ire? Krauss, Arizona State University’s Foundation Professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration, and the Director of the Origins Project, had publicly dismissed religion as a mix of vague hopes and fears, “hanging on for its evidence by mere shreds of emotional and ideological spaghetti.” We founded The Cubit with a simple maxim: to be skeptical of the dogmatic rhetoric that p…

‘Exporting Garbage to the Nations’: Conservative Christian Rifts Spreading Like Cracked Glass

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…neo-charismatics generally, and prophet Julie Green—who had appeared at a number of Doug Mastriano campaign and ReAwaken America events—in particular. Hume took specific exception to Green’s prophecies at a Mastriano event in Spooky Nook, where she casually equated Trump with Jesus. “God said ‘You can’t stop my son. Who is the rightful president. He is on his way back,” she prophesied, “and how he takes his position back on center stage, you will…

#SorryNotSorry: What U.S. Christian Denominations Teach About Homosexuality

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…ome of the more horrific statements made by Christian pastors, like Tempe, Arizona’s Steven L. Anderson, whose only objection to the tragedy was that “they should have been executed by a righteous government.” Both conservative religious figures and politicians have offered their condolences to survivors and family members of the Pulse victims, but LGBT activists and allies have countered that those same figures and politicians, through their supp…
