I wanted to title this post Matthew McConaughey: Jesus Is Alright, Alright, Alright with Me, but it was too dependent on a 2020 audience knowing who or what the Doobie Brothers were. Google it. If a stoner ever uploads a video of him skateboarding to one of their songs on TikTok, the Doobies will be trendingAF.

Back to McConaughey, besides his acting, I've always appreciated who he is as a person. Even if he says something I disagree with, I respect his sincerity about it (see Matthew McConaughey Preaches Conservatism, Gets Standing O and MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY FEARS #MARCHFOROURLIVES WILL GET 'HIJACKED'). That sincerity was on display in this Joe Rogan clip, talking about Christianity and Hollywood's intolerance of it. The video is timestamped, but start at 1:04:04ish.

Joe Rogan Experience #1552 - Matthew McConaughey youtu.be

I have had moments where I was on stage receiving an award in front of my peers in Hollywood, and there were people in the crowd that I have prayed with before dinners many times, and when I thanked God, I saw some of those people go to clap, but then notice that, 'bad thing on my resume' and then sit back on their hands. ...

Some people in [Hollywood] ... go to the Left so far ... to the illiberal Left side so far that it's so condescending and patronizing to 50% of the world.

What's sad is those commonsense, milquetoast, rational comments will be enough for that "illiberal left" to attack the actor as a Jesus freak and a closet Trump supporter, who is literally no better than The Handmaid's Tale. Just for him saying it's silly that people have to fear for their lives instead of outing themselves as Christians. Not even just as "Christians," but as "believers" in general. Unless of course you're a believer of illiberal politics.

The funny think is, Matthew McConaughey isn't afraid to say what he beliefs are and yet has still managed to have a pretty successful career in the entertainment industry. Chris Pratt too. If more of these closet believer would start to show the same courage, it would actually make a positive difference in the world
