What Does it Mean to Call “God” a White Racist?

By Willie James Jennings

…sponse to a wound that will not heal, but so too is frustration and anger. African-American Christians have sought relief from this wound through the balm of their faith.

Observers on both sides of the issue are now waiting for the first school district in the state to adopt a curriculum based on this new language.

…” theologies, and boldly touts its commitment to tolerance. Moreover, its code of ethics includes: “We commit ourselves to respecting the diversity of ecumenical, theological, ideological and personal expressions of the various faiths and traditions found in our community.” Since the aforementioned is an ongoing case that most likely contains more details than those I’ve offered, I use it only as a backdrop to illustrate the ease in which orthodo…

Santorum’s War on Satan… er, on Higher Education

But there’s no need to stretch as Santorum explicitly linked higher education to the work of Satan in a 2008 speech (which has recently gone viral) at Florida’s Ave Maria University. The intimate connection between these views and his…

It declares that “Perriello caved” by voting for…

First, what this diagram shows is a continuum of diminishing intensity of God-hatred from left to center: from rage, to hatred, to anger, to resentment.
