Joel Osteen idea made into KCStar Letters to Editor.

this morning.

I am guessing that writer reads the DU.

This Joel Osteen stuff is really catching fire. I wonder if he will make a statement to quell the rumors?

Higher authority

Apparently, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s faith in Ayn Rand’s philosophy is greater than his faith in Catholicism. He asked the Jesuit priest to resign as chaplain of the House of Representatives. According to Democratic Rep. Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, Ryan might have thought that the chaplain’s prayer was too political.

In a prayer, the chaplain suggested that we remember the poor, the least of us — one of the tenants of Catholicism. Too political?

Maybe Ryan should hire megachurch pastor Joel Osteen, who preaches a prosperity gospel. I am sure Rand would approve of that. And if it fits Rand’s philosophy, Ryan would love it, too.
