Beck is essentially a dry alcoholic, political entertainer.
On the way, we passed through a life-size replica of the Oval Office as it might look if inhabited by a President Beck...
That’s not weird. No siree! All quite perfectly normal. Yes. Yes indeed.
Yeah, it’s like they didn’t even have space shuttles planned to go between their planets?
Once one has seen the grace of God in genuine Christianity, one better sees the imitations that fall short elsewhere.
Remember that? Beck had no idea how obnoxious it was to ask people that but he was doing it quite a bit. Yeah, like I want to discuss my soul with a Loony Toons.
You know his mother committed suicide right?
The theme shows up in science fiction too, in various dystopias.
The actual Christian thing is for churches to band together, and once they have, to work whatever outreaches are possible. I’d think we’d see a lot of denominational disagreements being set aside if churches were pressed into doing this... not sure about Mormon, but small-o orthodox Christian would have less of a problem.
Andrew Breitbart:
This guy has always been about himself. You know, while youre sitting there watching him talk about the food shortage stuff, he doesnt tell you this ties to the Mormon Church. He doesnt talk to you about his investors. He doesnt tell you that theyre paying for him to create a crisis. He always talks about Cloward-Piven and how Rahm Emanuel said Dont let a good crisis go to waste, but creating a hysteria that theres going to be food storages because of chaos that is coming he is profitting off this as well. There is a financial stake for him with food storage companies that advertise on his site. This guy is a huckster. Hes always been a huckster. It was only a few years ago that he was a shock jock, that he was a morning zoo guy. And hes been taking peoples content for years and not crediting it.
I’d welcome it. “Doing quite wonderfully in Jesus! Wanna join me?”
Hmm. Stupid me. I never connected those dots.
But yeah, the soul-auditors who are a million miles from seeing and enjoying salvation themselves are some of the most arrogant people on this blue planet possible.
Yup, there are even those like that on FR.
The most generous thing I can say about that religious milieu is that it is deeply confused and troubled.
There’s enough of an approach to an authentic gospel in some of the literature they use (like KJV bible) that people there, yes, could get tapped by God unto salvation. But oy vey the theology, and the demonic swarming.
Joseph Smith asked the supremely wrong question when he asked “which earthly church is the real one.” The church that is real is the one that is embraced across worldly denominations by one Christ Jesus. It’s Baptist, it’s Catholic, it’s Methodist, it’s Eastern Orthodox, it’s Lutheran, etc. All of which have some wheat and some tares (and Christ is embracing the wheat parts).
Breitbart is right. Most prepper companies are Mormon and some are MLMs (big in Utah). I would not be surprised if he has financial interest.
Preparedness is fine but LDS take it to the extreme and have a less than Christian view of it (hoarding). I had a roomate at BYU who was overly dogmatic about us keeping a 72 hour kit (complete with tent, MREs, shovel to build a latrine etc) in our cars and we lived in Provo.
/”How’s your soul?”/
That is just weird coming from a Mormon. They don’t talk like that.
Stupid article. I probably know Glenn better than Beinart. He started developing this “a strong man will rise” nonsense back in about 2010 when he began his “Restore” tours. He predicted mass combat in the streets, very Weimar Germany style.
The last time I was on the show, I think around 2014, I was convinced he had completely been taken over by David Barton. I could see Barton’s influence in everything (Barton, of course, conveniently took over the charity side of Mercury when Beck’s long time very competent and decent aide, Joe Kerry, “quit.”) I had already seen major problems in the production side-—they just had no content. There was nothing there anyone wanted to watch. But beginning around 2014, I found that if you weren’t giving Beck’s crew the answers Glenn wanted, they didn’t want you.
He had some really bad history in his programs, and when I countered that, they edited my interviews to make it look like I was agreeing with Barton-—which I did not.
Glenn’s support absolutely made “Patriot’s History of the United States” a bigger hit, but it was already a hit. He did turn it into a bestseller. Now, however, I wish I’d been successful in trying to convince the publishers to remove his endorsement from the book in its latest edition.
Amen. Recently a fairly well known Mormon apologist (did radio debates, wrote a book, ect) left Mormonism and became a Christian. The change as been remarkable in a few months - he pulled his book, he was baptized a Christian, he is writing a new book on his conversion and why Mormonism really doesn’t teach grace. He now sees the counterfeit. Fortunately his wife is somewhat supportive so he doesn’t have the fear of losing his family that many do.
In Haiti, the Mormons refused to align with the Red Cross and instead banded together with a Muslim aid group.
This sick prick threatened to stab Trump. Screw him.
What is that, a plastic jesus?
Mental illness runs in Becks family.
In addition, Beck is a total loon.
