Crossing the Rubicon? Mar-a-Lago Raid Enflames Right Wing Fantasies of Christian Caesarism

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…FBI as wannabe-dictators marching to Rome—they would only be too happy to welcome a Caesar, so long as he was their own. As with “law and order” rhetoric, it becomes clear: consequences and laws are not for their own, not for conservatives. As Thomas Zimmer astutely points out: Calling for the law to treat different groups differently is hypocritical only if you believe in equality before the law. But conservatives explicitly don’t. A stark diffe…

Niebuhrian Humility and DC Punditry

By Daniel Schultz

…a Daily Kos diarist using the handle AZDem. Rosenberg laid into AZDem for promoting “High Broderism,” among other things. Those other things include a false sense of “Niebuhrian humility” in the face of the Bush Administration’s daunting certainty. Said AZDem: President Obama’s favorite theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, famously posited that if you and I disagree, then at least one of us is wrong, and it may be me. That’s known to historians and poli…

Obama Recognizes Gay Dads

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…that is completely understandable. My first reaction to that concern was, “welcome to our world.” The LGBT community has been alienated from most of the world for the majority of history, so pastors and churchgoers who balk at the president’s words can enjoy, just for a moment, our reality. Alienation is something we’re familiar with — kicked out of our families, kicked out of our churches, fired for being who we are, denied housing for being who…

Christian Pol, Attacked for Opposing ‘In God We Trust’ in School, Talks Church and State

By Frederick Clarkson

…eat others the way we want to be treated. How my church, like many others, promotes making a sacred, lifelong bond between couples who love each other. That we promote marriage and work to strengthen families of same-sex couples just as heterosexual ones. For me, the many scripture passages on love and commitment, on honesty and fidelity, on compassion and understanding, and on the importance of parents caring for each other and their children are…

The Jarring Ugliness of Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ield her from all attack. They had so far. All I can say, Miss Prejean, is welcome to my world. I’ve been called many nasty names from fat to ugly, usually with “dyke” following close behind. I’ve been called a “false prophet” and a “heretic.” I’ve been called “bitch,” “whore,” and all those slurs women have to endure from a male-dominated society. You know what? No one has ever given me air time on the Today Show to complain about it. As a strugg…

Persecution, Betrayal, and the Zero Sum Fight for Global Domination — Day 1 of NatCon 2024

By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…oundation fellow and Chairman of NatCon, opened the conference, declaring “Welcome to the mainstream!” and sharing a war story of NatCon’s April battle with “woke authorities” in Brussels, when a local mayor tried to shut them down. Free of these “left wing authorities” who tried to “ban our organization” DeMuth declared “I’m delighted that now, back in the USA, authorities have made no effort to stop us, either by lawfare or violence,” then addin…

LifeSite Complains that Local Boy Scout Chapter is Not Homophobic Enough

By Katie Toth

…esota’s biggest Boy Scout group said Tuesday that gays and lesbians remain welcome in its troops, despite a national announcement that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) will continue to bar leaders, employees and members who are “open or avowed homosexuals.” “We’re a reflection of the community,” said Kent York, spokesman for the Northern Star Council, which has 75,000 Scouts in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. “Our commitment has been to reach out…

Heaven On Earth: A Non-Hysterical History of Shari’ah

By Haroon Moghul

…and critical tradition would be no bad thing. That’s a tall order, to be sure, because most madrasas are struggling just to teach impoverished pupils the rudiments of literacy, but some basic aspirations would be welcome. It would be nice if students were encouraged to understand the beliefs of non-Muslim communities, and taught not just to venerate tradition, but also to think through actual historical events. …

White Nationalist Mottos, the Fate of Jews in the New Christian State, and ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Humor — Day 2 of NatCon 2024

By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…responds somewhat cryptically: “Jews in this ideal Republic would be more welcome than they currently are here.” Mohler (again, the more polished of the two) replies: […] enthusiastically so…among my tribe so to speak, theologically, it would be an absolute divine responsibility to be fully respectful of Jews, fully integrated into the entire project. Regarding Hindus, Muslims and other minorities, however, Mohler stresses that the Christian stat…

Going Negative: Traditionalist Churches Gang Up on ‘Progressive Christianity’ in Arizona

By Daniel Schultz

…a book on progressive Christianity, and the church proudly advertises its welcome of the “LGBTQ community,” support for science, and interfaith dialogue. The conservative church leaders are equally proud of their traditionalism. In a letter to the editor published in the Fountain Hills Times, they proclaim a “landmark” sermon series aimed at answering “three primary questions”: 1. What is the difference between “Progressive” Christianity and Bibl…
