Stephen Mattson
October 7, 2021

The Racist Policing of China and the United States

Stephen Mattson
July 23, 2021
Peace & Nonviolence, Politics, Practical Justice
Two massive injustices happening against two different groups of people in two different nations of the world should be equally addressed, simultaneously lamented, and simultaneously confronted.

The Idolatry of Christian Nationalism

Stephen Mattson
February 25, 2021
Christian Nationalism, Politics, Race, Theology
Evil attacks Christians by tricking them into believing they’re “being biblical” when in reality they aren’t being Christlike.

Political Propaganda is Destroying Christianity

Stephen Mattson
July 29, 2020
Global, Politics, Theology
Instead of loving our neighbors, “Christian” propaganda will tell us to deport them, ban them, incarcerate them, discriminate against them, outlaw them, and even bomb them. It will attempt to silence the oppressed and amplify the oppressor.

Christians Don’t Understand How Horrible Christendom Was (as Is)

Stephen Mattson
July 15, 2020
Church Life, Global, Theology
Denying these historical facts is revisionism, and attempts to deflect or rationalize them are forms of dehumanization.

Abolish the Death Penalty

Stephen Mattson
April 11, 2020
Peace & Nonviolence, Practical Justice, Race

The Justice System is Broken

Stephen Mattson
December 9, 2019
Immigration & Refugees, Politics, Practical Justice, Race, Theology
God loves justice, but do we?

The National Shame of Immigrant Detention Centers

Stephen Mattson
February 12, 2019
Immigration & Refugees, Politics
Populist fear, greed, and white supremacy have been constant American traditions, and now migrants are receiving the full brunt of these evils.

The Church’s Oppression of Women

Stephen Mattson
October 23, 2018
Books, Church Life, Theology, Women
Christianity has a history of manipulating the Bible to reinforce patriarchy.
