By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…r as we both navigate choppy theological waters, he replied with the usual list of scriptures most often used against homosexuality—and a final thought: “I have seen some Christian theologians try to explain away these passages but I find their explanations lacking and they do not fit with a literal view of the Scriptures.” Not only does he remain tone deaf to the reasons why his own views may also “not fit with a literal view of the Scriptures,”…

By Gwynne Watkins

…weeks ago, and yet it persists. Hovering at #2 on the Snopes.com “Hot 100” list of the most-circulated hoaxes, this one takes the form of a Facebook post by CEO Mark Zuckerberg (and, ahem, spells his name incorrectly). Seen it on your feed lately? It states that Facebook is instituting a “No Religion” policy, whereby “anyone spreading religious beliefs” will have their account shut down and be subject to “investigation.” Because what better busine…

By Kate Childs Graham

…nd that men experiment in a different way from women.” This information is pretty much useless unless we apply it to how gender roles are constructed in today’s world. We have to ask why the top sins for men and women differ and why each sin made the list. But the Vatican isn’t ready to do that.

…fore finishing his project. The Nearings were vegetarians, pacifists, socialists, and vocal critics of organized religion. Scott Nearing’s list of published papers includes titles such as “Why I Believe in Socialism,” “The Rise and Decline of Christian Civilization,” and “Oil and the Germs of War.” Thoreau famously contended that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” To his mind, many farmers fell into this category.

Paul for the People: John Dominic Crossan Imagines a “Letter to the Americans” In His New Video Series

By Peter Laarman

…an outline, point by point, of what I was going to say and append to it a list of images correlated with each point. Then I would speak in front of a green screen, knowing the production team would drop in the proper images at the proper time. Not that it was a wooden or mechanical process for them. They could handle the images creatively, add other images of their own, and generally make the interaction of voice and image dance happily together….

Doing a Dukakis (But with Jesus) — Biden Does Not Need to Be More Publicly Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…state? Thirdly, whose god? I mean, what do you think the Christian nationalists are doing when they vote, if not putting God first as they understand this infinitely malleable figure? Voting Republican is a religious imperative for the White evangelicals I grew up among, because the GOP pursues policies that line up with their “biblical worldview”—and, to be clear, this “worldview” is no less “biblical” than the liberal or progressive Christian w…
