  (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)   Ted Cruz was called by God to run for president. His preacher dad said he knew that Cruz would win. God told him so. Cruz said God would raise up his people and elect him, that God was going to accomplish this. How could Cruz have failed? Why did God fail? Trump beat God. *** God failed Cruz because Cruz like all evangelicals was delusional. Evangelicals say we were created. We’re jumped up primates that... Read more

Author Deborah Jian Lee “So when I became a leader of my college Christian fellowship group, Intervarsity, I was stunned by the entrenched conservatism of so many of my Christian peers. Sure, the group had some theological and political diversity, and I had some amazing young staff mentors (some of whom were people of color) who totally got me. But the overwhelming culture resisted my initiatives on racial justice and gender equality, equated voting Republican with authentic Christianity, called homosexuality... Read more

Given what the Koch’s do — when it comes to raping our planet and trying to buy our political system — accepting Koch money and then naming buildings for them, is like naming a building for a serial killer. It’s not surprising to learn that the Koch brothers and other wealthy, ultra-conservative industrialists are funding efforts to roll back conservation measures across the American west. What is surprising is that the Koch brothers still can give money to places like... Read more

(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Donald Trump’s bizarre rise seems to prove that that evangelical voters are subordinating theology to politics—as if conservative evangelicals experience theology and politics as fundamentally separate spheres. The evangelicals love authoritarian leaders. Here is the best article I’ve read on the rise of evangelical authoritarianism and its influence on our blighted political world. It is reprinted here by permission of Religion Dispatches where it first appeared. The author is Christopher Stroop, Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholar in the History... Read more
