From what I can tell, most of the anti-Beck sentiment is simply thinly veiled Christian bashing.
Of course, if you don’t believe:
1) that God exists
2) that the Bible is the divine revelation from God to mankind
3) that God is active in the world today
...then sure, I can see why you’d think Beck (or anyone espousing Christian thinking) is a nutcase.
And - something to ponder: if you don’t accept 1, 2 or 3, then perhaps it is YOU that is acting and thinking irrationally...
“From what I can tell, most of the anti-Beck sentiment is simply thinly veiled Christian bashing.”
And your bashing of Obama is obviously just thinly-veiled racism, right?
No? Really? Well then, I hoped you learned a valuable lesson today that Beck is a frigging loon, that says retarded stuff that just because you hear Jesus or bible sprinkled in his delusional ramblings does not make it something YOU are required to swallow.
Beck isn’t espousing Christian thinking, he’s spreading delusional nonsense. YOU need to get a grip.

Never mind that there is no archaeological record of any of this. Nothing. Not a single sword, shield, or coin from a supposed vast population.
So remember that Mormons believe that this weekend some 2000 years ago that Jesus Christ, after dying on the cross for our sins, then hopped over and massacred a bunch of people, and then hopped back and was resurrected.
True and complete blasphemy.
But they’re such nice people.
