Asked about his philosophy in life, movie star Harrison Ford said this week that he was "raised a Democrat" and "my moral purpose was being a Democrat."
The Indiana Jones actor talked to the Hollywood Reporter about politics and religion, saying that as a younger man, "I didn’t have any religious construct, but I think nature and God are the same thing."
The interviewer noted that "one of your majors in college was philosophy" and wondered, "Has any of that stayed with you?"
Ford responded with a long answer weaving in religion and politics: "There’s a Protestant theologian named Paul Tillich who wrote that if you have trouble with the word ‘God,’ take whatever is central and most meaningful to your life and call that God."
He then volunteered, "My mother was Jewish, my father was Catholic, and I was raised Democrat — my moral purpose was being a Democrat with the big D."

Between the 2 there is little wonder so many of our youth are going left on us.
“ Putting a Number on Hollywood’s Perceived Liberalism One thing Trump and Clinton voters agree on: Hollywood is more liberal than the rest of the country”
“Democratic professors outnumber Republicans 9 to 1 at top colleges”.

He acted well but other than that ‘meh!’
“I was raised Democrat — my moral purpose was being a Democrat with the big D”
The truth is here:
Exod. 32:8 They have made themselves a molten calf and bowed low to it and sacrificed to it, saying, ‘This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt’
So, being democrat gives him diarrhea?
So, his god is Mother nature.? A fat lady flying around on pixie wings, with a magic wand..?
Good luck with that...
Thank you. You wrote what I was thinking.

Well, that's certainly bad theology. I guess that's why Democrats worship government as god and why homosexuals worship perversion as a religion.
There's his problem right there.
Nature has no moral foundation.
Nature is survival of the fittest.
Yes that was a good one. John Wayne was Americana as was Elvis whom the liberals also went through a period of criticizing.
Trivia, did you know J.W. Only married Hispanic women? He was asked why and he said it wasn’t the type just happened to marry them. A white lie I think. Yet who cares, Latin women can be incredibly beautiful.
When times are hard, the soft die.
More proof that democrats are mindless lemmings.
Lend a hand for free, lend a coin at interest.
I was raised democrat.
But, as I grew up, I got smarter.
Some people never grow up.
But, in Hollywood (or the entertainment industry), you’re not allowed to grow up.
"[...] I think nature and God are the same thing."
[...] "[...] if you have trouble with the word ‘God,’ take whatever is central and most meaningful to your life and call that God."
[...] my moral purpose was being a Democrat with the big D."
Forget that "nature is God" crap! That's a smokescreen! He actually believes that the Democratic Party and God are the same thing!

Does he realize his party is now a commie totalitarian party that demands he gives all his money to the government?
He’s gotta say what he gotta say to keep a job.
Not true - if you're a colony of termites!
In the case of human beings - you are absolutely right!

I would argue Ford’s comments are representative of many (perhaps a majority) of liberals. Politics replacing religion, and without the moral restraints that accompany most religions. Thus we see an attitude develop where the ends justify the means, and no dissent can be tolerated.
