The Bible says so…or does it?
On this week’s “More To The Story,” religious scholar and TikTok star Dan McClellan examines how some Christian nationalists use—and often abuse—the Bible to gain political power.
Is there a sin of empathy? Does the Bible condone slavery? Did Jesus really say wealthy people might not reach heaven?
Religious scholar @maklelan.bsky.social on biblical misinterpretations and how politicians use—and abuse—the world’s most argued-over book.

Tomorrow, multinational Lafarge and several of its former executives will stand trial in Paris for financing terrorist groups. Although this is a milestone for corporate accountability, it should not detract from the fact that the company is also charged for complicity in crimes against humanity.

Peace is the best medicine - that’s not just a slogan, it's based on evidence. In countries affected by conflict and insecurity:
-70% of disease outbreaks erupt
-Half of all child deaths globally occur
-1 in 5 people suffer from mental health disorders.
The most courageous choose peace.
