Glenn Beck: The New LDS Apologist?
Art Vanick ^

Posted on 10/04/2010 1:11:50 PM PDT by Amerisrael

"This is weird. Glenn Beck, who became a Mormon a few years back, is now using his program to promote Mormon archaeology. If you click on these links you can view it. He also has a conspiracy theory about how science, government, commerce, and religion, not in the least, the Smithsonian Institute, purposefully altered history. My good friend Kurt Van Gorden sent me the links below, as well as the descriptions of what he is saying in the videos.

In the first video, about half way through, I about fell out of my chair when Beck referenced Adair’s History of the American Indians ( imagine! ) as proof of similarity between Native American ceremonies and Israelites. He forgot to mention that it predates the BOM by several decades (It was written arounde 1765!). He then ties the Egyptian pyramid math to the Indian mounds (only FARMS and the Maxwell Institute have ventured in this arena, which instantly identified his sources for me). Then in the second video, he uses the fraudulent Newark Stone and the fraudulent Bat Creek stone Hebrew inscriptions as proof of Hebrew among the Indians."

Glenn Beck should apologize for never calling Todd Friel.

A recent survey showed that 80% of Americans who identify as Christian, are Biblically illiterate.

That is the reason you are getting some of the responses you have seen here.

Oprah Winfrey Christianity has replaced biblical Christianity and short attention spans unable to multitask don't help...

Did I ever tell you the story of the spinster who called the sheriff to complain about kids swimming nekkid in the nearby creek?

I watch every day and am a Beckhead ... AND I agree with what Glenn is trying to accomplish: Beck is trying to awaken Americans, to re-affirm our founding principles and cherish our heritage and our dwindling freedoms. But I don’t ignore it when he makes such agross mistake and I let him know it, with the facts he has not been given by whomever wants him spouting the errors of the Mormon heirarchy.

Before leaving this dysfunctional tete a tete

I would just like to add...
Everybody needs a harmeless hobby. Particularly those who obsess about religion, pro or con.

Beck has the typical recovering alcoholic behavior problem. He tends to run to extremes and is obsessive. I like Beck, but after having worked with recovering alcoholics for over thirty years, I see these traits in almost all of them. There is much that Beck says that is good, but it would be very typical for him to take his new faith, Mormonism, to the extreme. His view that world is out to get him or conspire against him is also typical behavior. I have no doubt that he believes that "they" are trying to discredit Mormonism.

“Hatemonger”?

That is how the Islamofascists and Leftinistas respond when they are challenged or exposed.

It is essentially the same way Beck and Mitt Romney responded when Huckabee asked “... don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers?

While Romney and Beck were very angry that Huckabee put a spotlight on that false Mormon belief, they did not deny it. They couldn’t, because it’s in their doctrine and Covenants” Mormon scriptures.

Focus on the ENEMY!
What threat is “Mormonism” to you compared to what Islam can do to you and your daughters? My husband and I were offered $10,000 for our blonde haired, blue-eyed daughter in 1974, by a Sheikh. My daughter was then, and is now worth more than all the grains of sand in all Arabia and all the beaches in the world.
How long will it take you to understand that Islam is the REAL THREAT, here, and that “Mormonism” can do you no harm unless you let it?

FOCUS!! FOCUS!! Our country is under seige from the White House down! Stop being so petty and begin to realize what the REAL danger is!

“our own”, I am not lds. I didn’t repeat what others posted to you because they were good examples but if you want me to repeat them, ok. lds is dangerous to the soul, that alone is a reason.

Shouldn’t you go start a Muslim thread somewhere instead of hijacking this Mormon/Glenn Beck thread?
