…to the coronavirus and that white people were immune to COVID-19; they’ve promoted drinking bleach to cure the virus; that COVID-19 is a Chinese bioweapon and that the virus release was a joint venture between China and the Democrats to stop Trump’s re-election by destroying the economy. If that weren’t enough, they also played a key role in promoting the Plandemic video and the ObamaGate and #FilmYourHospital hashtag; and forced Oprah Winfrey an…

…and wrote that he would be taking time away from Facebook and deleting his app. This was three days after the political blog Bluestem Prarie first reported on Witherington’s Facebook call for the lynching of a “parade” of people including Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and one day after RD advanced and took the story national. It did not go well, with one commenter objecting: Witherington was back on Facebook on July 13th, offering a classic non-apology…

Bill Gates’ Comments on Covid-19 Vaccine Enflame ‘Mark of the Beast’ Worries in Some Christian Circles

…New Money System 666 (1982), popularized the idea that the Uniform Product Codes (i.e. UPCs or barcodes) were the mark of the beast and would one day be tattooed on human bodies.

Apple dropped the Exodus app, saying it offended large groups of people. Oh, my—those vicious lions! Trying keep homophobia off their iPhones! Here’s a thought: Perhaps the lions wouldn’t be so testy if they didn’t have to justify their very existence. Perhaps the lions would be more…

…parents, which he’s never done. On a deeper level, the typical American “happy ending” of the film belies a more profound lesson.

And if one cannot mourn, there’s no relief from one’s anger against God. The avoidance of death is as frightening as its inevitability….

Spinning But Not Religious: Inside the New Economy of Spiritual Fitness

…ng in the first place, the rigorous aspects of it. I guess I don’t see the appropriation as much because I think generally people come to it from a place of respect rather than wanting to diminish an institution or a practice in anyway.

Refusing Religion, Claiming the Future: A Roundtable Discussion on “The Nones Are Alright”

…to start adapting forms of liturgy (which in reality has probably already happened). But I don’t think that will save older forms of religion. More likely, at least in the U.S., the forces of individualism, choice, a more democratized understanding of authority, broad access to all forms of knowledge (religious and otherwise), and the like, will continue to require religious organizations to adapt and change in response to new ways of thinking and…
