As Problems for Pregnant People Increase, Catholic Bishops Claim They’re Heroes For Ending Abortion Rights

By Mary E. Hunt

…“the unborn.” That tells a pregnant person all they need to know about the welcome they won’t receive. What would motivate someone to darken that door for counseling, access to reproductive options, or material support to live out their choice? Who’s kidding whom to say that the bishops, who promote the Hyde Amendment and oppose the Affordable Care Act, are serious when they say “our society can and must protect and care for both women and their c…

Trump’s Fear and Loathing Won’t Silence The Nation’s Sole LGBT Muslim Organization

By Omar Sarwar

…ckling the “root causes of oppression, including misogyny and xenophobia,” promoting greater acceptance of sexual and gender diversity, and helping build a practice of Islam grounded in “inclusion, justice, and equality.” The organization’s resistance to the twin evils of anti-gay sentiment and racialized anti-Muslim bigotry has at once preceded and been magnified by the November 2016 election. LGBT Muslims have focused mainly on domestic challeng…

Atheists Battle for High School Clubs

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…high school clubs. Next up: atheists. The Secular Student Alliance, which promotes atheism and humanism with chapters at more than 200 colleges, is sending in reinforcements for teen free-thinkers—a push to launch 50 new high school clubs. Godless teens want the same social benefits that evangelical teens find at the annual “See you at the pole” flagpole prayer events at thousands of schools every September, and the court-sanctioned afterschool B…

Burning Down the Temple: Religion and Irony in Black Rock City

By Sarah M. Pike

…sty naked couple, asked me to get out of my car and embraced me, shouting “Welcome Home!” I had crossed the threshold. Next step was to head for my campsite on “Liminal,” the outermost street of the semi-circular Black Rock City. For many Burners, this pilgrimage to the desert is the closest they come to participating in anything like a religious community. They prepare for it all year, gathering costumes and camp decorations, assembling sculpture…

Dems Should Take Notes From Elizabeth Warren’s Pitch-Perfect Answer on Faith

By Daniel Schultz

…tself, demands that Christians feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked. (She might have pointed out that this is the only place in the New Testament that describes the requirements for salvation, but oh well, next time.) Warren only mentions values once and morals not at all, much less #reclaimingChristianity, #moralrevolution, or whatever other silly focus-grouped hashtag is going around these days. That…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…om, achieved via public justice and community thriving, may finally make a welcome appearance in this country. But for that to happen, the racialized and masculinized notions of what freedom means will need to recede—and the whole vile edifice of our herrenvolk democracy will need to be exposed for what it is. Romantics are free to cling to Shelley’s belief that poets are our unacknowledged legislators. Realists these days will prefer to take thei…

Barr and Pompeo Speeches Show Why Evangelical Warriors Won’t Abandon the President

By Bradley Onishi

…decision.” Trump is the barbarian-king leading white evangelicals in their war against all those they deem God’s enemies. For evangelicals, his authoritarian rhetoric is an asset; his cruelty is a mark of determination; his unwillingness to compromise is a welcome change from “softer” evangelical politicians. The question we should be asking is not when white evangelicals will finally have had enough. It’s how the rest of us are going to stop a co…

By Daniel Schultz

…to you” (Mt. 7:12), we maintain our longstanding commitment to support and welcome refugees and immigrants, and to stand with those who live in our midst without documentation. We reaffirm that like all people LGBT persons are entitled to full civil rights and protection under the law. We reaffirm and renew the principles of inclusion and the protection of the civil rights of all persons with disabilities. We commit to the honor and dignity of wom…

Krapp’s Last Tweet: The Rise (and Fall?) of Privilege in the Digital Economy

By Kevin Healey

…ledge where Baumgartner realized his own finitude.” His remarks come as a welcome contrast to the hubris of so many technology elites. Yet in the Stratos mission, as is too often the case, such humility was an unforeseen byproduct of personal and technical bravado. Rather than an afterthought, such humility should be present in all stages of development. When it comes to questions of design, implementation, regulation, and use, prudence is the na…

Let Gay People Rehab Marriage

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…population of what is essential to “human happiness and flourishing.” It would seem to me that if Mohler and others value marriage as much as they say they do, they would welcome the effort of any group of people who want to revere that institution and rebuild it to its former greatness….
