Glenn Beck’s ‘Social Justice’ Heresies

By Sarah Posner

…m and authoritarianism. In the hall of mirrors that houses Beck’s history that means that social justice=fascism. Conservatives face a serious challenge from Beck, however: as the panelists at the social justice session at the Freedom Federation Summit admitted, millenial evangelicals are interested in helping the poor, and not as interested in combatting gay marriage. But if they believe from Beck that Jesus’ exhortations to help the poor are act…

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

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…you labeled a bigot, a threat to child safety, a terrorist. And you know what that means.” In fact, parts of the American Right are already owning the term “terrorist.” At CPAC in Dallas, “We’re all domestic terrorists” was flashed across a screen behind the stage, to the cheers of the audience. It’s a new, horrifying version of the anti-abortion murder redux—brought to us by the same people whose incendiary rhetoric inspired the bombings of abor…

Bonnaroo 3: With a Buzz in Our Ears

By E. David Morgen

…song’s lyrics. They may be missing the point. Sigur Rós seems to realize that what gives music and musical performance its power is something untranslatable, something in an embodied experience of sound and flesh that cannot be located in a dictionary. It might be a stretch to suggest that this rhythm is in time with sacred chants of the world over, but that was something of the power we felt as the warm bodies around us hung on the notes of Icel…

Beck Botches Social Justice

By Daniel Schultz

…iddled with all kinds of socialist or fascist ideas, in Beck’s terms. Not that any of that matters. This hasn’t a thing to do with logic, or faith, or really anything other than Beck’s need to validate the teabagger ideology. My advice to any pastors who get confronted with this kind of crap? Hold firm to the faith and tell them that if they don’t like social or economic justice, they shouldn’t just find a new parish, they should get a new religio…

Express? It’s the Straight Talk Script

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ote that this absence is glaring, and his religious silence is deafening. That is what made the appearance of both men together on the bizarre political platform of a Baptist church all the more jarring and, well, uncanny. That McCain has been praised in the main by the very evangelicals he was courting is uncannier still. For what he offered was a vacuous equation of a certain kind of religion with a certain kind of morality, as only one with no…

On the 20th Anniversary of Waco

By Kate Blanchard

…l peril involved in looking to a living guru. However honest and virtuous that guru might be, she—like the rest of us—is susceptible to tripping and falling right up until the day she dies. What makes some folks willing and able to trust in a charismatic persona, while others remain deeply skeptical? Some of us will surely be tempted to adopt overly-simplified “opiate of the people” type explanations, that first-generation religious adherents must…

Alums Speak Out Against Anti-Gay Christian College

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s,” repealing the policy is apparently not one of the steps on the table. What that really means is, no matter what administrators might do, gay and lesbian kids will still be terrified to be who they are on campus, whether they are “practicing” or not. There are many Christian colleges and universities around the country who have these kinds of policies. So many, in fact, that Soulforce—a gay and lesbian Christian justice organization—has organiz…

Christian Radio, Muslim Radio

By Svend White

…ber that even the strictest literalism is ultimately an interpretation or that no one is free of bias or a priori assumptions. Which reminds me: where are the mainline Protestant and Catholic radio shows? To turn the post-9/11 tables on American Christians, why don’t non-evangelicals “speak up” more in the media to show what Christianity really is? Why do most popular discussions of Christian faith seem to be in evangelical hands when over two-fif…

By Peter Montgomery

…uggest that if some people are born with Down’s syndrome or Spina Bifida, that that was what God intended either.” After public outcry, he apologized for “hurt” that his comments caused. From Pink News: He said in a statement: “I believe that every person is willed by God and loved by God. I simply don’t believe that God micromanages the universe in such detail. “I regret any hurt that may have been caused either by what I actually said or by how…

Conservative Catholic Elites Oppose Trump… as He Rides Catholic Vote to Victory in Michigan

By Patricia Miller

…ates like Michigan, which he won handily yesterday. A pre-primary poll in that state found that Trump had the support of 52% of Catholic Republicans versus 42% overall. Ted Cruz’s brand of crazy “constitutional” conservatism pulled only 11% of Catholics, and poor little Marco, who actually is Catholic, captured only 16% of the Catholic vote. As Silk notes: Michigan Catholics are concentrated in the southeastern part of the state where deindustrial…
