Not Peace, But Division? Evangelical Vaccine Refusers Divide Families

…er to get vaccinated. “It’s been maddening to see my parents putting themselves at risk to maintain relationships with their siblings during the past year,” she says, adding: “When she got her first Moderna shot, her sibling tried to intervene to ‘save her’ from getting a second dose by sending manipulative texts and a video from a ‘doctor’ on Facebook who spouted all the ‘evils’ of the vaccine. Even though this didn’t prevent her from getting her…

The Same Toxic Christian Right Theology Supports Both the Online Bullying I Experienced and the Cruel Anti-Trans Policy in TX — And it’s Not Remotely Fringe

…s attempting to discredit a scholar and her brilliant book—historian and Calvin University professor Kristin Kobes Du Mez and Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation—by gesturing to the mere fact that a brief quotation from a mostly positive review I wrote for The Boston Globe in 2020 appears on the cover of the paperback edition that came out in June 2021. In my review, I called Jesus and John Wayne “…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

…ushaw has interacted with “Libs of TikTok” at least 138 times since June of 2021, often sharing information, language and praise regarding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, with Pushaw commenting that “Libs of Tiktok has opened my eyes on this.” The claims that have been spread about Boston Children’s Hospital and other clinics that care for trans children and teenagers by “Libs of TikTok,” run by right-wing activist Chaya Raichik, have been proven…

Facing White Christianity’s Role in the January 6th Insurrection

…lation passed quickly and was signed into law on June 30, 2020. On Jan. 11, 2021, just five days after the Capitol riots, a newly designed “magnolia flag” rose over the Mississippi State Capitol, marking the first time since 1894 that the Confederate battle flag had not been visible in that place. The civic landscape of the former capital of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia, has also been transformed. During the weeks I spent there conducting r…

What the Latest ‘God’s Not Dead’ Gets Egregiously Wrong — and Right — About Homeschooling

…es here.) The latest installment, We The People, was released on October 4, 2021 to a limited theater audience and on October 22, 2021 to streaming via Pure Flix. The movie was a flop. While evangelical movie review sites like Plugged In claim that it “provokes believers to ask some critically important questions,” even they criticize the caricatures of liberals and progressives, calling the movie “one-sided,” “oversimplified,” and even “melodrama…

Netanyahu’s Genocidal Religious Rhetoric isn’t Just an Appeal to the Israeli Right — He Has Another Constituency in Mind

…e reveals how those privileged by a colonialist history tend to read themselves into the Bible as the main characters, as virtuous, as saviors. A colonialist interpretation compels us to align ourselves with Moses, Daniel, Jesus, the Good Samaritan. Consequently, many aren’t trained to read the Bible from the margins, to see themselves in Hagar, the countless unnamed women, the man left for dead on the road to Jericho, or Simon the Cyrene. This is…

This Quote About ‘Pregnant’ Church From Outgoing SBC President is Deeply Troubling For Anyone Concerned About Sexual Abuse

…not recoil in fear.” The same is true for the Southern Baptist preacher in 2021. Greear’s rhetoric, incidental though it may have been, disciplines women to see themselves as belonging to men, to internalize male authority in destructive ways. The metaphor encourages men to align with the deity who has the power to control and punish. It is not, I submit, an effective way to confront sexual abuse in the church. It is biblical, though. And herein…

Anti-Vaxx Cardinal Burke, Just Off the Ventilator, is Becoming a Living Anti-Abortion Martyr

…he Extraordinary Form on Thursday, August 5th. At the last Mass on July 30, 2021, which is available to view on YouTube, neither Burke nor any of his concelebrants was wearing a mask. It was sometime during this period of time that Burke contracted Covid-19. The news that he was ailing was met with a great deal of schadenfreude on social media with some expressing hope for his death. Sarcastic promises of “thoughts and prayers” abounded, as did mo…

But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

…status/780603407996510208 Clinton stayed mostly on message while Trump devolved into incoherent rambling and fat-shaming, speculating at one point that (counter to the belief of U.S. intelligence agencies) it wasn’t Russia behind the hack of the DNC, but that it “could be someone sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds.” Hillary Clinton came to work; Donald Trump came to perform—or perhaps more accurately to act out. He did get a couple of good…

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

…ese, but a number of the tweets are weighing in about God either being involved (see also here, and here) or meting out punishment (or refuting this response). Some tweets have also incorporated the Mayan calendar and the purported 2012 “end of the world” to explain the seismic activity. I’ve collected a sample of these below for you to see through Google’s real-time twitter feed. From the small sample, it’s safe to say there is a “fatalistic” und…
