  1. Yes, You Can Please Your Heav\u00aden\u00adly Father<\/span><\/a> (Kevin DeY\u00adoung, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201cOver and over, more than a dozen times in the New Tes\u00adta\u00adment, we [are clear\u00adly taught that our actions can please God]. We ought to be gen\u00ader\u00adous. We ought to be god\u00adly. We ought to love and live a cer\u00adtain way <\/span>because it pleas\u00ades God<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Break\u00ading Faith<\/span><\/a> (Peter Beinart, The Atlantic): \u201cAs Amer\u00adi\u00adcans have left orga\u00adnized reli\u00adgion, they haven\u2019t stopped view\u00ading pol\u00adi\u00adtics as a strug\u00adgle between \u2018us\u2019 and \u2018them.\u2019 Many have come to define <\/span>us <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>them <\/span><\/i>in even more pri\u00admal and irrec\u00adon\u00adcil\u00adable ways.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Sor\u00adry, But The Irish Were Always \u2018White\u2019 (And So Were Ital\u00adians, Jews, and So On)<\/span><\/a>: (David Bern\u00adstein, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): The author makes intu\u00aditive and com\u00adpelling argu\u00adments. He is a law pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at George Mason Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Expe\u00adri\u00adence of Dis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion in Con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary Amer\u00adi\u00adca: Results from a Nation\u00adal\u00adly Rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtive Sam\u00adple of Adults<\/span><\/a> (SocArX\u00adiv): note that this has not yet under\u00adgone peer review and that the dataset has some lim\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtions. Hav\u00ading said that, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen such research about how fre\u00adquent\u00adly peo\u00adple feel dis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adnat\u00aded against. Table 2 on page 11 is where the most inter\u00adest\u00ading infor\u00adma\u00adtion can be found. Dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to sum\u00adma\u00adrize but provoca\u00adtive. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Relat\u00aded: <\/span>White Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals Believe They Face More Dis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion Than Mus\u00adlims<\/span><\/a> (Emma Green, The Atlantic): \u201cWhite evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals per\u00adceive dis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion in Amer\u00adi\u00adca in vast\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent terms than all oth\u00ader reli\u00adgious groups, includ\u00ading their minor\u00adi\u00adty peers.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The recent nation\u00adwide threats against the Jew\u00adish com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty seem to have been per\u00adpe\u00adtrat\u00aded large\u00adly by a 19 year-old dual-cit\u00adi\u00adzen\u00adship Amer\u00adi\u00adcan-Israeli Jew<\/a> (Yon\u00adah Jere\u00admy Bob, Jerusalem Post) with a small sub\u00adset stem\u00adming from <\/span>a reporter stalk\u00ading an ex-girl\u00adfriend<\/a> (Eric Lev\u00aden\u00adson and AnneClaire Sta\u00adple\u00adton, CNN). A use\u00adful reminder that our assump\u00adtions are often wrong. <\/span><\/li>\n
  7. The Fake Kid\u00adnap\u00adping Scan\u00addal That Almost Destroyed A Megachurch Pio\u00adneer<\/span><\/a> (Luke Har\u00adring\u00adton, Christ and Pop Cul\u00adture): \u201c\u2026it turns out the cul\u00adture wars weren\u2019t invent\u00aded last week. The U.S.\u2019s reli\u00adgious and cul\u00adtur\u00adal land\u00adscape of the 1920s was rocked by no short\u00adage of its own con\u00adflict, with fac\u00adtions of evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals, fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adists, main\u00adline Chris\u00adtians, and sec\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adists all vying for pow\u00ader, and McPher\u00adson had man\u00adaged to make ene\u00admies of most of them.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
