Trump’s Arrest ‘Prediction’ Inflames Holy War Narrative and Sanctifies Violence — Welcome to Trump ’24

By Thomas Lecaque

This coming Saturday, March 25th—one week after a hysterical all-caps social media post in which he declared that he “will be arrested on Tuesday” and called on supporters to “protest, take our nation back!”—Trump will host his first formal rally of the 2024 presidential campaign season at the Waco Regional Airport. The location is, in theory, all about the positive Trump vibes in Texas. As his campaign staff wrote, “It is undisputed that Texas i…

Not Only is the Right Unapologetic For Violent Anti-LGBTQ+ Rhetoric — It’s Doubling Down

By Thomas Lecaque

There was a mass murder. I know, this is America, so I have to be more specific. And since the one I’m thinking of, at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we’ve had several more—mass shooting events are so common in America you may have missed the others. On November 23rd, the Gun Violence Archive had counted 606 this year alone. In one of them, the mass shooting at Club Q, on Saturday night, November 19th, five people were killed. Nineteen wer…

White Evangelicals Support Trump in Tremendous Numbers

By Evan Derkacz

To quote the apparent president elect: Wrong. That’s for all the white evangelical commentators so eager to protect the evangelical brand they argued time and again that evangelicals, “real” evangelicals, evangelicals who attend church regularly, etc, wouldn’t support Trump. According to exit polls, white evangelicals supported Trump in similar or greater numbers than Romney (even evangelical pastors were poised to vote for Trump): In fact, if th…

Is Sex Outside Marriage Dehumanizing? The Problem with Tim Keller’s ‘Biblical’ Sex Ethic

By Chrissy Stroop

There’s a reason Tim Keller, Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCA) in New York, enjoys a greater degree of public respect than many conservative evangelical leaders who clearly crave respectability. When you take a mild jab at Tim Keller on Twitter, instead of blocking you like snowflake Ed Stetzer, Keller trolls you back—in ways that are admittedly funny. https://twitter.com/timkellernyc/status/1009845279640768512?s=20 https://twitter.com…

New Poll Shows: White Evangelicals Are Still Dancing With the One That Brung ‘Em

By Anita Little

According to recently released poll numbers, President Trump seems to have retained much of the base that swept him into the Oval Office. An astonishing 88 percent of those who originally backed Trump during his campaign approve of his current job performance, and 91 percent of his original supporters still have a favorable view of him. This is a man who threw together a crackerjack team of unqualified bigots for his cabinet, possibly colluded wi…

LDS Church Disavows “Mormon”-ism

By Holly Welker

On August 16, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced—again—that it wants everyone to stop using the word Mormon. A style guide—posted on its website mormonnewsroom.org—explains that the full name of the church (capital T on The, hyphen between Latter and day, which has a lower-case d) should be used on first reference. Since it’s impractical to use all those words every single time you might want to refer to the church headquar…

A Progressive Christian Conference With an All-White Lineup: What Could Go Wrong?

By Anita Little

Preaching Peace, a progressive Christian organization that aims to achieve peace through the application of mimetic theory, recently released the lineup for its inaugural Peace of the Gospel conference. The keynote schedule, which included some heavy hitters of the progressive Christian world like Diana Butler-Bass and Brian McLaren, was completely devoid of any persons of color and the breakout speakers were virtually all white. “The lack of div…

‘He Gets Us’ and Sleazy ‘Swift Boat’ Ads Share a Central Figure — Further Evidence of a Right-Wing Bait-and-Switch

By Chrissy Stroop

One of the funnier developments in the ongoing drama around the “He Gets Us” campaign that aired pro-Jesus ads during the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl has been the attacks from numerous evangelicals on social media who berate the PR messaging for being so “woke” it’s “unbiblical”: https://twitter.com/5Solas2/status/1625001170681962496?s=20 https://twitter.com/AdamPage85/status/1624972051084713985?s=20 https://twitter.com/TrustJesusAlone/statu…

Another Manufactured Outrage: Rep. Ilhan Omar Did Nothing Wrong in Listing Hamas, Israel, and U.S. Together

By Joshua Shanes

Last week, Representative Ilhan Omar asked Secretary of State Tony Blinken a straightforward question. It was prompted by recent cases brought to the International Criminal Court (ICC) alleging war crimes, or crimes against humanity, by both Israel and Hamas in Israel/Palestine, and by Afghan, Taliban and American forces in Afghanistan. The ICC, based in the Hague, is charged with prosecuting these terrible crimes and its right to do so has been…

Are You There God? It’s Us, Googling

By Michael Schulson

Every so often, economist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz crunches Google search data for the New York Times and comes up with some fun statistics about, say, the anxieties of pregnant women (“can pregnant women eat shrimp?” is a popular search query in the US) or the ratio of heart-related to penis-related searches (67:100 for those keeping score). This Sunday, Stephens-Davidowitz turned his attention to God. Some of the patterns he documents are predi…
