OK, I’m going to approach this in a different way. Keep in mind, I am trying to help.  I’m critical, for example, of my son at times because I care about him and see his potential. I am not critical of my neighbor’s son.

I think it’s healthy to have two strong, vibrant parties in America, and maybe even more than two.

There’s a healthy, natural psychological tension between liberal and conservative, masculine and feminine, being more open and being more closed. Trying something new, or returning to the traditions of the past.

A healthy society, just like a healthy human, will need to lean more into one or the other at different times, depending on various factors, and integrate the two polarities to different degrees in different situations.

Charlie Kirk was first and foremost an inspiring, spiritual leader for millions of Americans. He was also deeply involved with supporting the Republican Party, which he felt more aligned with in his spiritual values.

Now you might say Charlie Kirk’s version of Christianity was too right-wing, too fundamentalist, too evangelical, too conservative, and so forth.

And here’s the thing: You might actually be right!

But where’s the alternative version of Christianity on the progressive side, and the Democratic Party?

Where’s the same dynamic, thriving, inspiring organization of young people on the Democratic side that’s bringing a more liberal, open, ecumenical, and welcoming version of Christianity the way Martin Luther King Jr. once did?

Who’s leading that movement?

Does it even exist?

What America, and the world, really needs is not really a political movement. What it needs primarily is a spiritual movement that changes and heals people for the better, on a soul level, with the political merely as a secondary byproduct.

I don’t see it in the current leadership of the Democratic Party. Is there something burgeoning I am not aware of and could potentially support?

What I see is the Democratic Party, and the progressive movement, increasingly becoming an atheistic, anti-God, anti-religion movement devoid of any spiritual principles, or transcendent meaning. This is not good.

A spiritual revival in the Democratic Party that genuinely puts God first is what is needed to succeed. I see it as a movement that would include a coalition of faith leaders from all the various traditions.

Nobody’s heart gets blown opened, and their souls lit on fire, by atheism.

The debate between more liberal and conservative spiritual values, and integrating that natural tension, is the interesting debate to me.

That’s the debate I’d like to see.

That’s the next counter-move for the Democratic Party if it wants to truly succeed. A turning point to the Turning Point.
