Not Peace, But Division? Evangelical Vaccine Refusers Divide Families

A friend of mine was raised in a family that was quirky, sarcastic, into alternative medicine, and, although not overly legalistic, evangelical. This friend was also raised with the notion that the proper Christian approach to voting is to go for the most right-wing, electable candidate. This friend—one of a very small handful of conservative Christians I’m still able to retain a meaningful friendship with—ultimately recognized some limits in thi…

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

…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 “a book that America needs now,” a statement I stand by, and the one that appears on the cover of the paperback—a choice made neither by myself nor by Du Mez. The “theobrogians” of the evangelical world seem to have only just “discovered” this, however, and when they did they had a field day with it, bizarrely manufacturing…

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

On Jan. 20, 2021, President Joe Biden became the first commander in chief to use the words “white supremacy” in an inaugural address. Naming “the cry of racial justice four hundred years in the making” and its corollary, “a rise in political extremism,” he called out white supremacy as a “domestic terrorism that we must confront, and we will defeat.” The backdrop of the U.S. Capitol Building on that sunny, crisp winter day was as poignant as it h…

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

…ut is baked into the contemporary understanding of Christian nationalism. A 2021 PRRI survey found that 30% of all Americans and more than 50% of White evangelicals agreed with the statement: “God intended America to be a new promised land where European Christians could create a society that could be an example to the rest of the world.” The mythology of Canaanite conquest undergirds the “Jericho March” rallies that took place in the wake of the…

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

I was so sure that there would be nothing new to see in tonight’s debate, that I hadn’t intended to watch it at all. It seemed unlikely that I’d learn anything new about either candidate’s positions, and the inevitable rage-out hardly seemed worth it. But then I agreed to write a response, which meant finding a way to engage with something I was pretty sure would be a predictably unhelpful exercise in political theater. What’s a disenchanted vote…

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

The devastating 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan is an opportunity to see catastrophe theology in action. Rather than wait for Pat Robertson-style pronouncements that the earthquake is about evil, homosexuality, or Buddha, I went to Twitter and the internet to see what people are saying about God and the earthquake. The bulk of the tweets are about God helping the Japanese, and prayer for the Japanese, but a number of the tweets are weighing in abou…
