Christian Nationalism Was the Loser of Tuesday’s Debate

By Chrissy Stroop

…from the King James Version: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1232503545120935936 It is not at all a bad thing if, alongside the full recognition of the dignity and equality of non-believers, the Democratic Party embraces leaders who find personal meaning in passages of the Bible associated with social justice Christianity, in sharp contrast to the…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…related to the increase of Africans as coerced labor throughout the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. As we call for the removal and replacing of white Jesus, it must be recognized that the depiction of Jesus as white need not necessarily be present to have a white supremacist theology. If Christianity is still coupled to a white supremacist theology, it may remove the icons of Jesus as white while still performing the functions of white supr…

Time to Reject the “We’re All Sinners” Defense of Religious Conservatives

By Jonathan Malesic

…k men occurs right after a weeknight bible study among football players at East Mississippi Community College. EMCC is where players go to get their academic, athletic, and personal lives back on track after getting kicked out of powerhouse programs like Florida State and Auburn. Some are there because they used drugs. One was charged with burglary. Another punched a woman in a bar. Football players spout self-serving platitudes all the time. “No…

Arguments That Caste Protections ‘Unjustly Target’ South Asians Don’t Stand Up to Scrutiny

By Pranay Somayajula and Nikhil Mandalaparthy

…u who faced caste discrimination during his time as a student at Cal State East Bay, and he’s not alone in his story. If Hindu Americans such as Pariyar are facing such discrimination, one would expect those who claim to advocate for the interests of Hindu Americans to stand by their side, rather than speak out against efforts led by students like Pariyar. And yet, despite the Cal State Board of Trustees’ unanimous rebuke of their erroneous claims…

Naked Jihad

…ir support for Amina. An international movement called Femen staged bare-breasted protests in European cities, in which the writings on their chests echoed Amina’s, along with “Freedom for women” and “Fuck your morals.” (Be warned: photos contain nudity and strong language.) But Femen did not have the last word. Almost immediately, there was a backlash from some Muslim women who did not appreciate the “support.” A Facebook group, Muslim Women Aga…

We Declare You Restored: How Christian ‘Forgiveness’ is Deployed to Enable Abuse and Corruption

By Greg Carey

…re forgiven. Not only are you forgiven, your sins now stand “as far as the east is from the west.” That’s good news, and I believe it, but it has nothing to do with one’s qualification to hold moral responsibility in an institution. God may forgive a person, and so may we. But when someone has demonstrated that they cannot be trusted with authority, with finances, or with the safety of persons under their care, institutions should exercise extreme…

When ‘Church Business’ Yields a Real Page Turner

By Peter Laarman

…xologist who’s always been close to Belinda; and—last but by no means not least—Jennie, a feisty part-Japanese granddaughter of a wealthy church couple who basically purchased Jennie’s participation in the search by making a large special gift just as the congregation’s president was starting to float names for the committee. You can easily guess at least part of what ensues when the search committee gets going. Despite a year of careful preparati…

The Vile Attack on Salman Rushdie Reminds Us of the Value of a Free Society — But is Our Outrage More About the Criminal Than the Crime?

By Haroon Moghul

…y. Fasting in Ramadan is obligatory for healthy adults. But if you live in East Turkestan (Xinjiang), for example, where a genocide is underway, then saving one’s life takes precedence. I point all this out not only to underscore that the Muslim tradition is often far more human, humane, and humanistic than many current approaches assume and propose. But also because obligations are inseparable from the consequences of their performance. Which is…

How Belief in Moscow as ‘The New Rome’ Explains Kirill’s Astonishing Declaration That ‘Russia Has Never Attacked Anyone’

By Katherine Kelaidis

…n the most persistent modern claimant to the Roman legacy in the Christian East. Even before the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Rus princes, like Boris of Tver, were beginning to play with the notion that they were heirs to the Roman legacy. These efforts only amplified after the Byzantine Empire fell at last to the Ottomans. With Constantinople—a.k.a. “the New Rome”—now in the hands of Muslim rulers and the West in the grips of perceived papal h…

Why Did an Antisemitic Christian Zionist Have the Chutzpah to Declare That He’d Be Leading a Holocaust March?

By Ben Lorber and Aidan Orly

…eared towards a Christian Zionist audience, the museum’s exhibits featured coded appeals to missionary activity and celebrations of “deathbed evangelism,” where missionaries target lonely, vulnerable and impoverished Holocaust survivors in order, as Nuszen put it, “to convert them to Christianity in their dying days or even last moments.” Christian Zionist antisemitism Evans’ brand of antisemitism, masked as philosemitism and enthusiastic support…
