Blind Faith Meets Coronavirus Science In Potentially Deadly Clash As public health officials preach social distancing to slow the new coronavirus, some church leaders are relying on dangerous faith. Many religious leaders have put their sermons online as the new coronavirus spreads, but defying social distancing guidelines, some pastors are encouraging congregants to continue greeting one another as they always have, with hugs and handshakes. (Shutterstock / kaninw) Going to church is an important part of many Americans' lives — a great source of hope, inspiration and faith. It's especially so during this season of Easter, the holiest of Christian holidays. Church ...
The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals

Trump’s response to the pandemic has been haunted by the science denialism of his ultraconservative religious allies. Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown. At least since the 19th century, when the proslavery theologian Robert Lewis Dabney attacked the physical sciences as “theories of unbelief,” hostility to science has characterized the more extreme forms of religious nationalism in the United States. Today, the hard core of climate deniers is concentrated among people who ...

Leaders from the United Methodist Church reportedly announced a tentative plan Friday to split the church over differences on same-sex marriage and the inclusion of gay clergy.The new conservative “Traditionalist Methodist” denomination wouldn’t allow gay marriage or gay clergy members, The New York Times reported.The proposal was first signed in December after the “fundamental differences” within the church became irreconcilable.“I’m actually really sad that we couldn’t build a bridge that could have provided a witness to the world of what unity amid diversity and disagreement could look like,” Methodist Bishop Karen Oliveto, the ...

Image by 1778011 from Pixabay After harassing the Amish community for years regarding its water supply and disposal, the county health department posted signs on the Amish families’ homes earlier this year condemning them as “unfit for human habitation” and filed lawsuits against 14 Amish families in November. If successful, the lawsuits would result in the demolition of the Amish families’ homes and would effectively banish an entire religious community from Lenawee County. The ACLU and Wright & Schulte filed answers to those lawsuits Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court, which include counterclaims against the county for religious discrimination in violation ...
Early Christian Philosophy and Aristotle

About 1000 years before Aquinas, Christians had an encounter with Aristotle. It is an interesting bit of history. The Christians as the Romans Saw Them, Robert L. Wilken Galen was a second century writer, studied in philosophy and medicine. He was a native of Pergamum, located in western Asia Minor near the Aegean Sea. Pergamum had a library second only to that in Alexandria; it was a wealthy city. Galen would arrive in Rome at the time when the Christian community was still not very large, yet it was one of the more significant Christian communities of the time. Several of the most prominent Christian intellectuals and apologists were in Rome, including Justin ...
Pope Francis Declares That Christian Fundamentalists Are “A Scourge”

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Why does it seem like virtually everyone wants to attack Christian fundamentalists these days? Two weeks ago, Pope Francis made some extremely controversial remarks, but those remarks really didn’t get much attention from the mainstream media. Of course, if the Pope had targeted the LGBTQ community or some other favored group, it would have instantly made headlines all over the globe. But he didn’t. Instead, Pope Francis specifically attacked fundamentalists, and in today’s world that is considered to be perfectly okay. The following comes from the official ...

Luthern Church Holds Drag Queen Story Hour for Children

If you haven’t been following, the Drag Queen Story Hour is a phenomenon that has been plaguing sane society in public libraries for several years now. The sick mentality of those who crossdress and demand access to young children, however, isn’t limited to public libraries. In New York, one Lutheran Church even participated. A drag queen who goes by the name “Reverend Yolanda” (how fitting?) is seen here dancing and dressing provocatively in Park Church Co-Op in Brooklyn, NY. And how fitting that there is a dead Jesus in the background? < /> If you were to die today, where would you go? Heaven? Hell? Not sure?

Practical Atheists Living as if God is Irrelevant

If a time-traveler from the Early Church secretly followed you from Monday till Saturday evening, would they be able to tell you’re a Christian? The answer for many of us just isn’t very clear… and that’s no accident. Many Christians live lives indistinguishable from secularists. The reason? Well, quite simply, secularism is the default state of our culture. It’s the water we swim in—the air we all breathe. Or, as author Craig Gay put it in his book, “The Way of the Modern World,” the problem isn’t atheism. In fact, a red-blooded atheist is hard to find. The problem, he said, is “practical atheism.” It’s not that people do not ...

A Watershed Moment For American Evangelical Christianity – Benny Hinn Has Just Renounced The Prosperity Gospel

The End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder When you have done things a certain way for almost your entire career, it can be exceedingly difficult to admit that you were wrong. This is true in any field, but it is especially true for those in the ministry. So Benny Hinn showed an enormous amount of courage when he completely repudiated the “prosperity gospel” on Monday night during a Facebook Live broadcast. This represents a 180 degree turn for his ministry, and it could be a watershed moment for American evangelical Christianity as a whole. For decades, an extreme emphasis on wealth and prosperity has virtually drowned out the message of ...

Light of the World: Mexican church holds gathering amid sex crimes scandal

Some 600,000 followers from 58 countries have descended on the city of Guadalajara, where La Luz del Mundo has its international headquarters, for their week-long "holy convocation", when leaders hold mass baptisms and a "holy supper". The fundamentalist Christian organisation was founded in 1926 by Mexican Eusebio Joaquín González, Mr García's grandfather. It claims to have 1.8 million followers in Mexico and millions more worldwide, although many religious experts question these numbers. The church describes itself as a "resurgence of the early Christian church", and their followers believe 50-year-old Mr García is an ...

The site of the Jewish temple is still considered holy by believers. There is a prophecy that promises the temple will one day be rebuilt. A glimmer of hope that the foretelling could come to pass has arisen after a connected prediction about foxes heading to the remains of the Second Jewish Temple, the Western Wall, was fulfilled literally.Foxes snooping around in Jerusalem ahead of a religious festival have inspired Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites Shmuel Rabinowitz to recall a prophecy about the Jewish temple being rebuilt on the Temple Mount, a site sacred for Jews. “One cannot refrain from crying at the site of the fulfilment of the prophecy of ‘foxes will walk on ...

There are now as many Americans who claim no religion as there are evangelicals and Catholics, a survey finds For the first time "No Religion" has topped a survey of Americans' religious identity, according to a new analysis by a political scientist. The non-religious edged out Catholics and evangelicals in the long-running General Social Survey. Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University and a Baptist pastor, found that 23.1% of Americans now claim no religion. Catholics came in at 23.0%, and evangelicals were at 22.5%. The three groups remain within the margin of error of each other though, making it a statistical tie. Over 2,000 people were interviewed ...
