That's interesting.
I have a hard time figuring out Beck. Clearly, his theatrics are just that. I believe he does have heartfelt conservative convictions. But he's clearly in love with his celebrity, which makes me wonder if he'd sell his soul.
The jury is still out in my mind.
>>> ... but have you ever heard him say he thinks Joseph Smith was a prophet?...
Choosing to wear the label of mormon carries with it the fair presumption that one ascribes to the core tenants of that faith... otherwise, one would have to assume that either his priorities are way out of line, or that the church will accept anyone willing to say “I do”.
In an interview when asked...
I watched that interview.
What I took from it was that he joined because “they” (the mormons) seemed so incredibly “genuine” relative to so many other churches they had visited. This of course raises somewhat of another issue with me in that how can he be SO insightful and discerning and investigative and scrutinizing of political leaders who govern his mortal life, without being just as scrutinizing of his faith and spiritual leaders which will directly affect the destiny of his eternal life?
Thats why he more or less appears like a plant to me.
and a very good one at that.
Either that, or he is just as fooled as everyone else, and someone is just throwing him some bones.
