Next book on deck. You cannot serve both God and Mammon. You cannot serve both God and Capitalism. You must hate one and love the other. @harvardpress.bsky.social #TheEnchantmentsOfMammon #EugeneMcCarraher #Capitalism

I am delighted to bring you this conversation on @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social with Dr. Kira Ganga Kieffer about the new book "Unvaccinated Under God" from @princetonupress.bsky.social! @sacredwrites.bsky.social Listen: newbooksnetwork.com/unvaccinated...

In social, political, and religious spheres, movements for "inclusion" and "tolerance" that ignore the dynamics of power, privilege, and wealth fail the marginalized. Instead of dismantling inequality, they entrench the dominance of the powerful. The way of Jesus always sides with the oppressed.

It is the absolute peak of religious hypocrisy to loudly pray to "rededicate our nation to God" while idolatrously championing policies of dominance and control that devastate the poor and oppressed. God is not mocked. Judgement is already upon you.

Live your life in such a way that White Christian Nationalists claim you're demon-possessed.

The New Apostolic Reformation has been staging Christian nationalist events on the National Mall since 2000. Today they finally got one organized & sponsored by the White House – the culmination of 25 years of work. My new piece explains what it means to them: open.substack.com/pub/matthewd...

My mood always immediately improves after watching Bob's Burgers.

At a moment when the lies of White Christian Nationalism are being amplified by those in power, @wthrockmorton.bsky.social delivers the rebuttal we need. He tears down the “Christian nation” myth by exposing the distorted history behind it. This book meets the moment. @broadleafbooks.bsky.social

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

Looking forward to leading this class tomorrow! And you'd better believe I'm referencing @joashpthomas.bsky.social 😂

Girl, same.

One of the most blistering examples of incompetence is a conservative Christian attempting to use science to justify certain aspects of their beliefs.

I don't know what kind of fundamentalist end times nonsense went on here but I'm glad I wasn't there for it.

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

Preorder now!

Hot take with biblical receipts: Trump is not the Antichrist. But "the Antichrist" is mostly a pop-culture figure stitched together from three different Bible passages. The word the Bible actually uses — repeatedly, in the present tense — is antichrists (plural)...

"Here is classic Rowan Williams. This is a significant work of compassion and wisdom, one that — I dare to guess — will stand out even among the great range of writings that he has produced." 📚Peter Selby follows the argument that solidarity is fulfilled in communion #Books #RowanWilliams

Did Hovind put HIMSELF on this farcical Mount Rushmore? 😬🤢

Evergreen.

I am fundamentally suspicious of any perspective, religious or otherwise, whose survival depends on knowing less about the world.

Just arrived! @mattbernico.bsky.social and @deandettloff.bsky.social keep pushing me to imagine a Gospel that is truly good news for the poor and oppressed and to name capitalism as the oppressive force it is. @themagnificast.bsky.social @fortresspress.bsky.social #EnoughIsEnough #liberation

Good stuff on the pseudoscience and nonsense of creationism from @miniminuteman.bsky.social youtu.be/6f8IFEovAd4?...

How is young earth creationism still a thing? I mean, I know why. But wow.

Getting things ready at church this morning and singing under my breath. The associate priest stops me and asks what hymn I'm singing. Me: Uh, it's "Love led us here" from Muppet Treasure Island
