Christians Must Confront the Lies at the Heart of Whiteness

…the ongoing reality that systemic racism in our country is tragically and undeniably alive and well. These realities are reprehensible.” But such explicit evangelical acknowledgment of the “sins” of Trumpism remains rare. And it’s also clear that the system is going to fight like hell to return to normal as quickly as possible. So I’m not holding my breath for significant change, despite rising calls for leadership and media accountability. We mu…

Claiming That ‘We Birthed a Nation From Nothing’ CNN’s Rick Santorum Gives a Master Class in Christian Nationalism: An Open Letter to CNN

…eo that’s been burning a hole through social media. At a Young America’s Foundation event, your commentator said: https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1386685340522536961 If you think about this country, I don’t know of any other country in the world that was settled predominately by people who were coming to practice their faith. They came here because they were not allowed to practice their particular faith in their own country. And so they…

‘Restart the Economy’ is a Prayer to a Conservative God Who Demands Human Sacrifice

…the “the false god of ‘saving lives.’” We should, at the least, stop tiptoeing around this god’s followers as though it’s bad manners to identify him as evil or un-civil to make them own that he is the real Moloch. And if their economy is Moloch, why don’t we demand that our leaders serve a new god, or replace them with leaders who aren’t Moloch’s disciples? Surely there are gods to whom we can turn now whose values are health and human flourishi…

Attack on the US Capitol Has Many Journos Finally Taking White Evangelical Authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism Seriously

…. This evident racism presumably reflects an ethos in America’s largest Protestant denomination that might have just a little to do with the prevalence of Christian rhetoric, prayer, and symbolism on display in the white supremacist invasion of the Capitol. And it’s rich for someone who just rejected anti-racist scholarship as unbiblical to pretend that “official” Southern Baptist Christianity has no connection to racism among America’s white Chri…

White Supremacy Erases Its Violence: The Predictable Blaming of Antifa

…speech in the House chamber. This is the same chamber that had been under siege by a crowd Trump had himself urged to “show strength” and march on the Capitol, even promising, “I’ll be with you” (incidentally, he drove the opposite direction in his motorcade). Just like the MAGA fest outside the Capitol, the looters who broke in were proudly sporting Trump symbols, carrying Confederate flags, and posting joyfully about overthrowing our elected go…

Why Does Trump’s Authoritarian Christian Base Ignore Never-Trump Evangelical Leaders?

…or ideological reasons, rule out the very possibility of a Democratic president being legitimate. I know something about those people. A 1980 baby, I remember how upset my evangelical community was when President Bill Clinton won the 1992 election. People immediately started suggesting that he was or might be the Antichrist, and making “jokes” about his death. The punchline to one of them was “President Gore,” as if the supposed horror captured in…

In Order to Move Forward We Must Believe the Unbelievable: Some Choose Death Over Democracy

…st makes you sad and mad and frustrated, and then you know you’re going to come back and do it over again. https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/1328319845012824065 When people would rather believe they’re dying from lung cancer than from Covid-19—that’s what Doering reported to CNN—what can you do as a nurse? Nothing, except get “sad and mad and frustrated.” What can you do as a citizen? Well, pretty much the same thing. You cannot expect cooperation…

There is Another Reason Trump Refuses to Concede the Election

…1326243095948775427 It is, in this light that (at least in part) we should understand the president’s relentless, narcissistic self-aggrandizing, his perpetually puerile abuse of superlatives, his regular projections about the demise of mainstream media, his ceaselessly optimistic pronouncements about the economy (which of course may work, given the fact that Wall Street follows its own form of prosperity theology, leaving it susceptible to what A…

Christian Right Claims to be ‘Above Politics’ Are Unbelievable

…ssues” is an example of a kind of convenient deliberate vagueness that’s become common among “respectable” evangelicals, but to anyone intimately familiar with white evangelical subculture, in context it’s instantly recognizable as a dog whistle gesturing toward anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion stances. Meanwhile, the statement “Jesus is here for all the sinners” represents a faux-inclusive stance of the sort called out by Church Clarity, an organizat…

‘The White Privileged Man’s Burden’: If Jesus Was White Who Are We to Question the ‘Privilege’ That Came With it?

…nting the subtle ways that we racialize our theology to affirm our racial identity. This isn’t the same as not “seeing” race or arguing for a “color-blind” society that leaves the status quo in place. This means recognizing that our racial identities have been imbued with theological significance in terms of our relative closeness to or distance away from the divine. When Metaxas says “Jesus was white” he’s not only making a statement about his ow…
