By Matthew D. Taylor and Bradley Onishi

…wing Christian organizing. Wallnau was scheduled to speak at a Stop-the-Steal rally at the Capitol on January 6 that had to be canceled due to the rioting. Wagner also mentored Ché Ahn, a Korean-American apostle who leads a network of 25,000 churches and ministries around the globe, who issued a prophetic decree at the January 5 ramp-up rally in Washington, DC. Another Wagner acolyte, Cindy Jacobs, one of the most recognized and respected charisma…

Is Liberalism Islamic?: An Interview with Mustafa Akyol

By Haroon Moghul

…ere destroyed by God via natural disasters, but I think those are exceptional miracles and not the norm. The norm, I think, is that natural disasters happen via natural causes which God has set in place, and are not related with our sins. Earthquakes really do not selectively hit cities of vice, such as, say, Las Vegas. They just hit the cities that are placed on tectonic faultlines. Or rain patterns, which really do not show any correlation with…

Dreaming Cyborg Dreams: Virtual Identity and Religious Experience

By Rachel Wagner

…with the emptiness of an existence that was only an approximation of the real, Alva goes on a quest to find “the creator” and at the end of the series, leaves the online virtual world for the real world, where the experiences are much more vivid, and relationships invite richer physical and emotional engagement. Maybe this is the place where the consideration of virtual religious identity ultimately brings us: We can invest ourselves in the virtua…

Boos, Jews, and Progressive Religion at DNC

By Daniel Schultz

…y minor connection, but it’s interesting to see a) an out leader of a welcoming minority church speaking to a national convention, and b) how denominations like the Disciples or the UCC continue to influence the narratives of faith and politics, even if at something of a remove. As David Gibson notes, after stirring speeches from Cory Booker, Michelle Obama, and Karla Ortiz, an 11-year-old child of undocumented workers who spoke out for immigratio…

C Street Scandal, the Media, the Future of the Family: An Interview with Jeff Sharlet

By Bill Berkowitz

…locky designer glasses that look like he stole them from a drag queen or a Miami yenta, two demographics with whom he’s had his differences over the years. Rick Sanchez of CNN’s Newsroom was much more informed than I expected; he’d clearly read some of the book, which is rare. Jon Stewart wanted to talk about Calvinism in the green room, but on screen we mainly talked about C Street and sex in the kitchen. Radio, of course, was a whole different…

Grace Under Pressure: Reclaiming Hope for Progressive Religion

By Daniel Schultz

…l Rights movement not only called on America to live up to its constitutional promises of equality; it called on American citizens to enter into a new way of relating to one another. It did so with a constant impatience with the way things were—a relentless, increasingly radical unwillingness to accept the status quo that would quite disturb Obama the bipartisan peacemaker. Obama’s vision of hope is also rooted in an evangelical understanding of h…

Candidate Sharron Angle Accuses Opponent of Idolatry

By Julie Ingersoll

…They violate the First of the Ten Commandments prohibiting idolatry.” Jon Ralston at the Las Vegas Sun reported on a radio interview recently come-to-light in which Nevada Senate Candidate Sharron Angle made exactly this argument against social programs promoted by “Obama, Pelosi and [her opponent] Harry Reid.” You can read about it and listen to the radio interview here. Angle said, entitlement programs…make government our God. And that’s really…

Will Francis’ Statements on Women and Gays ‘Make a Mess’ Inside the Church?

By Mary E. Hunt

…story, but living women cannot make ecclesial decisions, exercise sacramental ministry, or make ethical choices. Apparently, the question of women’s ordination is so yesterday in the Vatican Francis doesn’t think it needs to be revisited. So much for democracy and making a mess (not to say “screwing up”) when it comes to internal church matters. I shudder to think what a “deep theology of women in the church” will look like, much less who will wri…

Free Will, Fate and FiveThirtyEight: The Theology of Election Polls

By Alan Levinovitz and Michael Schulson

…-determined patterns, and these patterns can be scried with the right crystal ball. AL: Yes. It’s only the illusion of free will. Which brings us back to Trump and the prediction sites. There’s something less threatening—and maybe more practically achievable—about predicting what masses of humans will do in one constrained area, than predicting what will happen in a single individual’s romantic life, say. MHS: Do you think the function of somethin…
