How the Christian Nationalist Version of ‘The American Story’ Enabled Georgia’s Anti-Black Voter Restriction Law [Audio]

By Bradley Onishi

…e of the benefits of the way that… the white supremacists and white nationalists and Christian nationalists have told the American story, right? Is they take things that they opposed in the past that are now a lost cause, and then act as if they were great ideas and they achieved everything that needed to be achieved. So all the people that hated MLK [Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.] when MLK was alive and was active and so forth, once it’s clear the i…

Akin, Spiritual Warfare, and the Radicalization of the Anti-Choice Movement

By Sarah Posner

…lse is mainstream now? Defenders of the Unborn, at whose event Akin spoke, promotes the trope that the widespread availability of contraception has caused “an increase in abortion, pornography, divorce, sexual abuse and other problems.” The group advises followers: “You can help end the ravages of contraception by saving sex for marriage and using natural methods of family planning. These are just as accurate as artificial methods and they have ma…

Sexual Abuse is Inevitable in Christian Patriarchy; Just Take a Look at Doug Wilson’s Christ Church, and its New ‘Documentary’ ‘Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity’

By Cait West

…I see Eve in Exile as the next best thing for women in Christian fundamentalist circles, I’m concerned that Rebekah Merkle, instead of promoting a revolutionary return to original womanhood, is actually perpetuating the lies of patriarchy: that women were created to glorify men. And I can’t help but think of the next generation of survivors who will learn to speak for themselves, who will push through the abuse that the patriarchs cover them with,…

God’s Heart Has No Borders

By Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo

…ndering evangelicals, or the intolerance of Christian and Muslim fundamentalists), many people in the United States remain unaware of the progressive potential of organized religion. Second, many people see immigration in “them” vs. “us” terms, and in fact, our fates and destinies are intertwined. Many religious people get that, and integrate that understanding into their actions. Did you have a specific audience in mind when writing? This is a bo…

Women as Head Pastors Was Final Straw for Southern Baptist Convention — Not Scandal, Sexual Abuse, or Dalliance with Dictators

By Caroline Matas

…undary policing around gender, race, and sexuality rises to the top of its list of concerns to the detriment of dealing with urgent internal issues of abuse. Of course, as I and others have argued before, abuse is a natural corollary of theology that limits women’s recourse to men’s power. As long as the SBC maintains gender hierarchy as a core feature of what it means to be in “cooperation” with the denomination, it will continue to censure its m…

Orthodox Rabbi Imitates Pat Robertson

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…Israel, allow openly gay service members without any adverse affect upon military cohesion or readiness. As for natural disasters, Levin may want to study up on what causes earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. I don’t see “gays and lesbians” listed among the data. But, fundamentalists of all stripes never let the facts get in the way of a good, scary, story. ”We plead with saner heads in Congress and the Pentagon to stop sodomization of our mili…

Your Freedom of Speech Ends Where My Life Begins

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…owever, jumped by six percent. The FBI include “sexual orientation” in the list of statistics they collect from law enforcement around the country, but the federal hate crimes law does not include that category – something the House has been trying to change with H.R. 1592. Ironically, religious people, who are luckily suffering fewer attacks, are opposed to H.R. 1592 because it might limit their ability to use their words to spur even more attack…

Eight Theories on the Prickliness of Mitt Romney

By Joanna Brooks

…resses him on a position get stonewalled and badgered? Not fun to watch or listen to, my friends. Not fun at all. Whence cometh the prickliness of Mitt Romney? Eight theses: A. a personality flaw B. a result of having been insulated by class privilege C. a result of developing his leadership style in an LDS institutional culture wherein leaders are expected to appear “flawless” and dissent and open disagreement is not sanctioned D. a consequence o…

Tea Party Bullies on Homosexuality: “No Punishment Too Severe?”

By Julie Ingersoll

…xuality, which Rushdoony did. But I have argued that this rather sensationalist approach to examining the place of Reconstructionism in contemporary politics undermines efforts to see real influence. DeMint doesn’t advocate stoning, even though he aligns himself with Reconstructionists. He does advocate undoing decades of efforts to secure basic civil rights for gays and lesbians (and apparently for unmarried women as well). He does, it seems, su…
