Not Peace, But Division? Evangelical Vaccine Refusers Divide Families

…Luke, Jesus is quoted as saying: “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.” Such thinking primes evangelicals to reject anything embraced by their perceived enemies, for many including the public health initiatives designed to contain the coronavirus pandemic that are supported by secular experts and “…

Reactions to Biden’s Korean-American Secret Service Agent Expose Christian Nationalism’s Anti-Asian Side

…rensics Research Lab has found, the latter’s vitriol can be definitively traced back to the former’s rhetoric. To cite one example, researcher Max Rizzuto notes that Rep. Paul Gosar singlehandedly birthed the terms “Wuhan virus,” “Wuhan coronavirus,” “China virus,” and “Chinese virus,” all of which were practically absent from Twitter prior to Gosar’s “Wuhan Virus” tweet on March 8. Lab director Graham Brookie observes, “The thing that we can prov…

Leper Messiah: A Jesus Freak’s Search for the Meaning of Bowie—A Critical Novella

…work Orange. And the costume changes—a whole clothes rack’s-worth of them, each more jaw-dropping than the last: sci-fi samurai in a tear-away kimono; camp Flash Gordon in a skin-tight jumpsuit; gay-pride sumo wrestler in a sequined jockstrap; Surrealist burlesque dancer shimmying in a man-bra made of glitter-skinned mannequin hands. Freeze-framed in the eerie pulsations of a strobe, with the raunchy proto-punk of the Spiders squalling behind him,…

Including Bono on Glamour’s “Women of the Year” List is Two Steps Backwards

ecessarily untrue, it feels almost spiteful to include a man—who will now become the main focus of countless media pieces about Glamour’s list—in an exercise that’s intended to lift up women, especially in a year that has been so marred by unapologetic misogyny from the highest ranks of (at least one) major political party. “When a major male rock star who could do anything at all with his life decides to focus on the rights of women and girls wor…

#WhiteChurchQuiet: Anything but Outrage Is Complicity

…g soon went viral, generating hundreds of tweets and retweets and quickly becoming a Twitter trending topic. Johnson will be hosting a #WhiteChurchQuiet live tweet session tomorrow, September 28th at 10pm EST. After hearing the news that law enforcement officials had shot and killed two more black men, I braced myself. Invariably from some of the protesters and others within the black community, there is the refrain, “Where is the Church?” What th…

Conservative Christian Book on Obama’s Faith

…n on the shelves yet, but he’s already been accused of multiple forms of treachery, and the hate mail is flooding in. How did this come about? Stephen Mansfield is a man of faith. He was a pastor for twenty years and refers to himself as a “Christian writer” and a “patriot.” He has written several books about other men of faith, including, most recently, one about Tom DeLay. In No Retreat, No Surrender, Mansfield was able to conclude that, in spit…

Searching for Sex, Life and Abortion on Catholic Google

…on contraception. If I had searched on normal Google, I would have been directed to articles on contraception, how to properly use birth control, and where to purchase contraceptives. Thank goodness CatholicGoogle.com saves us from that blasphemy! The same happened when I searched “stem cell research,” “sex,” “life” and “abortion.” All the articles reinforced the institutional Catholic Church stance on the subjects. Surprisingly, the editors of th…

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

…urported 2012 “end of the world” to explain the seismic activity. I’ve collected a sample of these below for you to see through Google’s real-time twitter feed. From the small sample, it’s safe to say there is a “fatalistic” understanding that natural disasters are about sin or God’s wrath. Even insurance companies think so, placing the phrase “Acts of God” as a catchall for everything unexplainable and destructive. Disasters seem to bring out som…

But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

…sages that polling has told them resonate with whomever they’re trying to reach,” making such bold departures unlikely. So how did these expectations shape up come debate time? At the beginning of the night, I thought that this might be the craziest thing in store: Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein is arrested outside the debate at Hofstra University. Still from Democracy Now! video. But I should have known better. Clinton started off as she me…
