Will Getting Rid of Bryan Fischer Get Rid of the AFA’s Problem?

By Sarah Posner

…Bill there, and who claims a link between Nazism and homosexuality: In an online column, Fischer defended Lively’s preposterous and debunked “history” of a Nazi-gay link, claiming “the masculine homosexual movement in Germany created the Brown Shirts, and the Brown Shirts in turn created the Nazi Party.” In a column earlier this year opposing the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Fischer recycled that 2008 column, adding, “Even today in America, it…

Where are the Blessed Peacemakers?

…d ban on assault weapons and laws protecting interstate and, by extension, online ammunition sales. Perhaps Chris Hedges is right: “We have created and live in a world where violence has become the primary form of communication.” Which leaves us where with regard to a national conversation on violence?

Unfortunately, as Hannity’s co-panelists hadn’t ignored the tirades, both he and Peterson were taken by surprise when FOX columnist Kristen Powers “hijack[ed]” the panel to confront both Peterson and Hannity, whom she asked: “why do (you allow) this misogyny?… Y…

By Naomi Seidman

Like lots of other people, I got online as soon as I woke up this morning and checked the news from Mumbai. I turned to my husband and said, “The Chabad Rabbi and his wife were killed.” “That’s too bad,” he answered. Then he continued, mildly. “Aren’t there over a hundred casualties?” “A hundred and nineteen so far,” I said, reading aloud from the screen. But I knew what he was saying. Over a hundred people dead and you’re concentrating on two of…

Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

By Chrissy Stroop

If you’ve spent much time around fandoms, online or off, you’ve surely heard something like, “Celebrity X (or TV show, or book series, etc.) is great, but my God, their fans are the worst.” Of course, sometimes the celebrity or work in question may itself deserve critical scrutiny, or even condemnation, but throngs of maniacal fans show up to shout down anyone trying to start that conversation. Enter Jesus. Because man, does that dude have some o…

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…down expansions of background checks that would include stricter limits to online and gun show purchases and the prevention of firearm sales to persons on the terror watch list. People of faith have a sacramental duty to hold lawmakers accountable for protecting the sacredness of human life.

A Love Letter (and Challenge) to Evangelical Women, ‘For Our Daughters’ Documents Devastating Cost of Christian Patriarchy

By Caroline Matas

…next steps after watching the film won’t be left high and dry; the film website’s FAQ section ends with a few not-so-subtle suggestions. For one, viewers can “offer to help women in [their] church register to vote online.” Another tip? “Remind women that their vote is private and no one can ‘figure out’ who they voted for.” Remember, despite all the pre-election noise about White evangelical women abandoning Trump in 2020, 70% of them still voted…

By Jacob Lupfer

…ge with more than 12,000 students in residence and nearly 100,000 enrolled online. A bastion of cultural conservatism, Liberty seems an unlikely place to celebrate women reaching for the heights of influence in business and government. The Rev. Christine Caine of Australia speaks at the Willow Leitungskongress 2012. But unless Propel aims to convince women to quit their careers, stop taking birth control, and homeschool their children, it will be…

By Joseph Laycock

…ensation, drawing support primarily from atheists and college students. In online forums, the doctrines and mythology of FSM were expanded and in 2006 Henderson published The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Pirates somehow found their way into this mythology, becoming an important symbol of the movement. In a parody of the pseudo-scientific arguments sometimes used by creationists, Pastafarians created charts showing a direct relationship…
