Michael Steele gives me some hope for Republicans

Michael Steele gives me some hope for Republicans, though I live in a state so gerrymandered and hateful it sure isn’t my batch of elephants. I will say though people like Dr Phil don’t see they are part of the problem with politics and religion. So sure of they are right and everyone else is morally wrong as a result, so dang judgmental — yes, religion can instill morality. It can also be used to control the well-meaning masses. Why are Americans disillusioned by religion? The grift. Prosperity gospel. Let’s all read Dr Phil’s newest book on it and see, right?
I don’t need Dr Phil’s no-doubt pricey and overwritten book to tell me what I can see with my own eyes that all the so-called authorities on religion today are actively doing the exact opposite of what Jesus preached. (I was raised in an area with Phil’s folksy ways, it always hits me as inauthentic and to snake oil to be real, even if he is. But I’m not an Evangelical and that style of talking does not appeal to me.)

Still, thank you, Michael, for everything you do and the people you bring on. I may not always agree with them, but it always leaves me thinking. And I think between you and John Fuselang’s Tell Me Everything segments with religious leaders, there might be some hope Christianity can come back from the cliff’s edge it is staring down — but it might be after the lemmings follow their golden idol jump off with their freedom bibles, grievance hatred and Golden shoes. Cheers and love.
