By Lucas Kwong

…he androgynous monster that rocketed Marsh to the top of 1897’s bestseller list, through figures like the “transsexual” serial killer Buffalo Bill in the movie The Silence Of The Lambs. These pop culture vehicles of cultural memory have ensured that, in an era when White Christians are actually experiencing the decline that the Victorians only hypothesized, fearful believers can slot late Victorian archetypes into their own version of the terror-t…

Condos on Mars: A New Kind of Limit Experience?

By Laurie Patton

…or water as a productive resource is more intense than ever before—and the list goes on. Because of this different “limit experience”—the knowledge that we are indeed limited—the hunt for renewable forms of energy has reached global dimensions. At this particular historical moment of energy scarcity, we should seize the opportunity to treat Mars in a rather different way than we have treated the other worlds we humans have “discovered“ thus far; n…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

…ary supporters, NeverTrumpers, immigrants, non-whites, non-Christians, the list goes on). Moreover, like many before him, he equated Christianity with both America and whiteness. None of this is new. But what I want to point out in the wake of the utter inhumanity of the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents is that there is a direct line from tribal epistemology to dehumanization that can blind even those…

People locked away, out of sight, in isolation. Hunger strikes, religion, and art have the power to bring such hidden practices to l…

The Other, Forgotten Apocalypse of 2011

By Jason Bruner

…(in presumed contrast with the missionary’s slightly different premillenialist predilections). Curiously absent from this list is the conservative Christian persecution watch dog, Voice of the Martyrs, who has remained silent on the incident, despite the fact that it involved violence from a communist government directed at a large group of Christians (a common theme of many of their stories). And then there was the conclusion of the Vietnamese g…

The Role of Spirit in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement: A Conversation with Activist and Artist Patrisse Cullors

By Hebah H. Farrag

…, hands up in the air, or statements like “I Can’t Breathe.” It may be the list of hashtagged names that grows larger every 28 hours. But something else has stood out to me. Images of a white-clad black woman burning sage across a militarized police line. Altars using sacred images and symbols from multiple faiths placed to hold space for those murdered. Events ending with prayers for the oppressed. Protests called “ceremonies” in front of Los Ang…

At This Week’s Meeting, Will SBC Vote For Voddie Baucham, The Homeschooling ‘Star’ Who Embraces the Right Wing Theology at the Heart of the Abuse Scandal?

By R.L. Stollar

…making serious efforts to become mainstream. This means it’s vital that we listen to those who have actual experience with the beliefs and practices promoted by the far-right, especially when those beliefs and practices enable and empower the abuse permeating the SBC. Heather puts it best when she urges: “I cannot emphasize enough the importance of listening to people who have firsthand knowledge of the extreme fundamentalist teachings of people l…

Demonized and Demonizing No More.

By Joanna Brooks

…nt X, Y, and Z in order to even count as an atheist. As a former fundamentalist Christian, I understand that impulse, but I am surprised by how pervasive it is within organized atheism. I read about a recent study of Finnish atheists and religionists in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion that found that the concept of God had as powerful an emotional force for atheists as it did for believers. So functionally, despite the abs…

Huckabee Launches Videos to Teach Kids About American Exceptionalism

By Lauri Lebo

…ous beliefs. Huckabee recently said that all Americans should be forced to listen to pseudo-historian David Barton at gunpoint. While his name doesn’t appear on the list of the company’s “master historians,” Huckabee is clearly following Barton’s template where everything is spelled out in terms of good versus evil and anything in between is simply airbrushed from history. They’re like a Sarah Palin speech crossed with those Davey and Goliath cart…
