    Priest Booted From Church After Imitating Musk's Salute

    The Daily Beast, By Emell Derra Adolphus, on January 30, 2025

    Father Calvin Robinson, a right-wing priest with ties to the UK’s far-right movement, was removed from his church after performing a salute reminiscent of Elon Musk’s controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration rally. Robinson claims it was a joke mocking liberal outrage, but the Anglican Catholic Church took swift action, drawing a clear line between political expression and extremist signaling. The panel discusses the implications of religious leaders engaging in radical rhetoric and contrasts Robinson’s actions with Minister Buddy’s call for compassion and inclusion. They note the long history of religious institutions aligning with fascism and mock Robinson’s complaints that liberals criticizing him are the real fascists. They also find it ironic that he claims victimhood after deliberately provoking outrage. The discussion highlights the hypocrisy of extremists using religion as a shield while pushing hateful ideologies.

    Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead

    NBC News, By Rebecca Shabad, on January 28, 2025

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republican-congressman-suggests-children-receiving-free-school-lunches-rcna189614

    In this discussion, the panelists criticize Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick's recent statement suggesting that children who receive free school lunches should get jobs to cover the cost. McCormick's stance is described as misguided and harmful, with one panelist comparing it to a villainous plot to push child labor. The panelists argue that such policies undermine efforts to support low-income families, including Head Start and Meals on Wheels. They also point out the systemic problems that cause poverty, such as inflation, stagnant wages, and lack of access to healthcare. The group expresses frustration with politicians who use these issues as an excuse to vilify the poor, rather than addressing the underlying causes. They also critique the notion that children need to work for their value, highlighting how such attitudes fail to consider the importance of education and childhood development.

    After 'faith-healing' death of 8-year-old girl, 14 Christians found guilty of manslaughter

    The Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on January 29, 2025
    https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/after-faith-healing-death-of-8-year

    This tragic story highlights the devastating consequences of extreme religious beliefs, where a young girl, Elizabeth St, lost her life due to the refusal of essential medical care. Elizabeth's parents, guided by their Christian cult, chose to pray for her healing instead of administering insulin for her type 1 diabetes. Despite earlier warnings and a hospitalization scare, they continued their faith-based approach, leading to her death after six days without insulin. The court convicted 14 members of the cult for manslaughter, but many questioned why it wasn’t considered murder, as the parents' refusal to provide medical care was based on deeply held religious beliefs. The case has sparked outrage, especially given that the parents had already been warned about the dangers of their actions. Advocates argue that religion shouldn't shield harmful behavior, and the legal system failed to properly address the severity of the situation. This event raises broader concerns about the role of religion in medical decisions and the safety of children in similar faith-based communities. Some also feel the medical and legal systems failed Elizabeth, as her earlier hospitalization should have prompted closer oversight.
