…nda to which Bullard is so desperately devoted. Promoted a biblical voting guide that suggests his god and his Bible want you to vote Republican. Written about Trump taking the stage at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference—scribblings that have the feel of a teeny-bopper seeing her teen heartthrob live in concert for the very first time. Celebrated Christmas in predictably performative ways: “This Christmas I am thankful for a baby…

From Christian Temperance to D.A.R.E. — The War on Drugs Has its Roots in White Christian Nationalism

…tioned off from the rest of culture any more than religion can. To readers coming from a Protestant postmillennialist outlook—which in this period would have been the hegemonic position—racialized drug use was an obstacle (or perhaps even existential threat) to their utopian dreams about Whiteness regardless of whether or not newspapers framed articles in White Christian language. Contemporary readers may find abortion to be a helpful analogy here…

Contrary to Claims of Anti-Trans Muslims, LGBTQ+ Acceptance is Widespread in the History of Islam

…cepted part of society. In the Abbasid caliphate many mukhannathun would become personal companions and courtiers of the caliph. Trained in the art of music, poetry, astronomy, and wit, no court was complete without them. According to ibn Mansur al-‘Abi, the mukhannathun became so valuable to the Islamic courts that one boasted: “We are the best of people, when we speak, you laugh; when we sing, you are ravished with delight; when we lie down, you…

Did Mormon Morality Teachings Really Make it Harder for Elizabeth Smart to Run?

…especially punitive messages about sexuality, especially those that might compound feelings of guilt or shame in abuse or violence survivors. Says one guide for LDS youth, “Victims of rape, incest, or other sexual abuse are not guilty of sin. If you have been a victim of any of these crimes, know that you are innocent and that God loves you.” But old teachings die hard. This week, Mormon blogger Kristine Haglund called for the removal from anothe…

The Threat to Democracy Runs Deep, But Mathematics Could Address the Abominable State of Representation and Voting

…extent the resemblance will persist. I dare not even entertain the possibility of a leap over the precipice of a bloody conflict—it will be bad enough if our political and ideological impasse and our entrenched inability to find common ground lasts for decades, as it has in Bosnia. The only way out is to start at the foundations, to rebuild our civic infrastructure, to change the mechanisms of democracy that stifle our voices and pit us against ea…

As the Right Peddles a Conspiracy About Trans People and Easter, A Reflection on the Spiritual Nature of My Gender Transition

…r overlap. In a post on X, Speaker Mike Johnson falsely declared that President Biden is “banning sacred truth and tradition” while proclaiming March 31 “Transgender Day” (sic), and that with this “abhorrent” action Biden has supposedly “betrayed the central tenet of Easter.” Beyond the fact that Biden neither prohibited any traditional Easter activities nor set the date for Trans Day of Visibility, which has been held on March 31 for the past 15…

Roe v. Wade: What Would MLK Do?

…g’s dream was fluid. His ideas of justice and equality were constantly broadening and becoming more radical. Maybe I am an idealist, but I believe King would have eventually recognized and critiqued even his own inconsistencies, thus modifying his “dream” to be radically inclusive, regardless of difference. Perhaps this is my dream. I actually do believe that King would stand in solidarity with women and men across the globe tomorrow in honor of t…

Did Romney Cynically Cite His Mormon Faith for Impeachment Vote as Critics Claim?

…th Trump could end up hurting him even in Utah, a red state where the president is uncommonly unpopular. What that means for his reelection prospects, the senator couldn’t say. (He doesn’t have to face voters again until 2024.) But as he thought about it, another hymn came to mind. “Do what is right; let the consequence follow,” he recited. “And I don’t know what all the consequences will be.” Trump and his defenders got on high pissy-face about t…

Betrayed at the Polls, Evangelicals of Color at a Crossroads

…d social supremacy of whiteness.” Harper’s commitment to the label and the community comes from her desire to reclaim “a movement that was about the coming of the Kingdom of God and the flourishing of the image of God on Earth,” as well as the release of the image of God from captivity, she says. “I will not give that up.” Harper also won’t give up her responsibility for evangelicalism. She won’t deny “the reality that because my faith was deeply…

Polygamy, Genius, and the Origin of Religion

…w religion arises out of the fear of a father figure, and then rummages around for evidence to back up his story. Earlier in his book, Barash describes some of Freud’s work as “highly speculative and scientifically inaccurate.” For this section of Out of Eden, at least, that description seems about right. So is polyamory a good idea? Barash doesn’t think so. Or, if it is, it’s not because of some moral imperative written in the genes. Just because…
