Santa Executed by Repent Amarillo

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…quad. In a video by the outfit (who, by the way, “abhor violence”) Santa’s list of “heinous crimes against the Lord our God” are read out before the execution. Among them “idolatry” for replacing himself with Jesus Christ, and for being a “stumbling block to parents who lie to their children that you exist to bring them gifts.” Then, before the violence begins, Santa is told: “We would plead that the Lord have mercy on your soul, but you have no s…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…t via their own offspring?” Vance and Masters have both not been shy about promoting their openly anti-democratic aspirations. Both have ties to right-wing extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, a raging monarchist. Vance supports the governing model of Caesarism, which has risen to prominence on the American Right in recent years, claiming: “We are in a late republican period. If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wi…

…l season, with new installments every Tuesday. Check here for the complete list of discussions, or sign up here for the RSS feed. Here’s an exchange between Salman Hameed, Diane Winston and Henry Jenkins, on episode two. Salman Hameed______________________ Fellow Capricologists, Episode two was bit of a let-down for me.

A Love Letter to #Exvangelicals and Those Deconstructing Their Toxic Faith

By Andrew L. Seidel

…st of the authoritarianism, Christian Nationalism, and threats to our pluralist democracy. We can learn from their experience by listening to their stories. There are many groups out there working to limit the power of religion in our government, to keep state and church separate, and to fight Christian Nationalism, that can amplify these voices and which exvangelicals could contribute to in other ways: the Secular Student Alliance, the Freedom Fr…

However Dull or Ham-Fisted, TV is not Oppressing Mormons — In Fact, We Have a Duty to Scrutinize Religious Institutions That Endanger Vulnerable People

By Megan Goodwin

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that Mormon fundamentalists absolutely are oppressed on the basis of religion and the religiosexual practice of polygyny. That oppression allows abuse to flourish, isolating vulnerable members of Mormon fundamentalist communities and making it harder for them to get help or leave abusive situations. And this is where I take issue with shows like Under the Banner of Heaven and Keep Sweet: not wit…

A wise old Zen master boiled the Dharma down to this: Don’t deceive yourself, don’t make excuses and take responsib…

…hers.” According to D’Agostino, Hanna pledged that the organization would “promote a positive political philosophy based upon respect for constitutional principles, economic freedom and traditional values. We think that Americans are basically positive and optimistic, and want to be inspired rather than repelled by politics.

An End to the “Gentleman’s Agreement” on Israel?

By Jay Michaelson

…usalem is still disputed territory, and so the State Department refuses to list Israel as the child’s country of birth. In 2002, Congress passed a law requiring the State Department to end this charade. But, in accordance with the terms of the gentleman’s agreement, the State Department simply refused to enforce the law. Now in reality, this is absurd. I lived in (West) Jerusalem for three years, and it’s as Israeli as the cellphone. Moreover, whi…

Angry Voters, Right-Wing Populism, & Racial Violence: People of Faith Can Help Break the Linkages

By Chip Berlet

…ernet and conservative talk radio. The elite scapegoats for right-wing populists today are liberals and Democrats trying to pass “socialist” health care schemes as a first step toward a totalitarian fascist society. The scapegoats lower on the socio-economic ladder are immigrants, community organizers, and Muslims. Last fall in Boise, I ran into the Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, President of the Interfaith Alliance, of which I am a card-carrying membe…
