Al Gore spoke to Georgetown U.
And while I have no doubt that his religious belief is genuine, and that it is an important motivation for many things that he does in life, as it is for me and for many of you, most of the President’s frequent departures from fact-based analysis have much more to do with right-wing political and economic ideology than with the Bible.
Most of the problems he has caused for this country stem not from his belief in God, but from his belief in the infallibility of the right-wing Republican ideology that exalts the interests of the wealthy and of large corporations over the interests of the American people. Love of power for its own sake is the original sin of this presidency.
I would say that his “immature faith” makes him easy prey for the Neoconservative, greedy politics to use Chrisatianity (and in the process, severely distort) for their own ends.
I also feel that his lifelong tendency to avoid looking deeply into too much of ANYTHING is also a factor.
