Glenn Beck: NYT runs one of the most “bigoted” “anti-religon” articles EVER
glennbeck.com ^ | Oct 20, 2011 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 10/23/2011 4:28:28 PM PDT by Ripliancum

“If this was written about Jews she’d be fired today. If it was written about Catholics she’d be in trouble today. Because it’s written about the Mormons it can be said,” Glenn said.

I want you to know I am a Mormon. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and you may not like my theology. That’s okay,” Glenn said.

“I’m not asking you to join my church. I’m not asking you to join theologies or anything like that. It’s important that we keep our theologies separate and distinct. It’s important that you know what you believe in, and I know what I believe in. And we need to stand arm in arm.”

“Look, the wolves are coming for people of faith and they are coming for the weakest among and they will take down the ones that are weakest that have the least amount of protection it will be the Mormons, and Jews, and then who’s next. It will be all of us.”

“Sure we have; but the peasants have no pitchforks or torches.”

Or is it that the peasants lack balls? One does not need pitchforks or torches to go against political correctness and throw his sorry a$$ out of office. Just grow a pair.

Notice the key word “rarely”.

Yes, I noticed the word 'rarely' and that it was part of the HEADLINE.

I posted in response to the statement that Obama had never been inside of a church on a Sunday since he became President. That's not true. He has been inside of churches on Sunday . . . but rarely.

If, as conservatives, we say that Obama's never been to church on Sunday, liberals can say "that's not true." And they would be right.

“If, as conservatives, we say that Obama’s never been to church on Sunday, liberals can say “that’s not true.” And they would be right.”

See your point! So he “rarely” steps foot in one, not even the level of a “Sunday Christian” and the libs will say “he goes to church”.

Not good enough as far as I am concerned. I still remember when a siting president went every Sunday. I “remember when” as they say. It is not just a president having his butt in the pew, it is that even a president need moral guidance from God. Being in that job, as often as possible. Or am I just an old Nun?

Looks like that creek channel has been ‘scooped’ (backhoe marks). Was an environmental study done and the ‘proper’ permits obtained? LOL

Just wondering why you are not debating the Muslim in the White House and you are debating the Mormon that IS NOT!! (and may never for that matter) So since I would rather debate this topic. I will start it. Have you noticed that since Obozo has been in office he has not stepped foot inside a Christian Church on Sunday? Notice he is the first sitting president to do this? This sits well with you?

What? FR allows Democratic trolls to frequent these threads? Who? What posters are you suggesting I address?

(Oh, you have none? Just a "hypothetical" made up out of thin rarified air?)

Yeah. Well, let me know when you touch down upon FREEPER reality, eh.

That is the Virgin River down in Barracks Canyon. Flood waters cause the bank to wash away. This is the crossing where we drive through. The other pic is looking north; this one south.

It is truly beautiful. I miss being able to trek ‘paths’ like that one.

No, Morgana. I was replying to your statements:

Have you noticed that since Obozo has been in office he has not stepped foot inside a Christian Church on Sunday?

Not gone to church one time on Sunday.

All I did was to point out that these statements are hyperbole and false, and as conservatives, we should use the truth against Obama. Obama has stepped for inside a Christian Church on a Sunday since he's been in office. Obama has gone to church.

Rarely. Not very often. So we should argue that he almost never goes to church, rather than saying he never goes to church.

And when you state that "he is the first sitting president to do this," I'd have to say (a) I don't know the church-going habits of all of the Presidents, and (b) William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia after only 32 days in office, so I'm not certain he ever attended church as a sitting President.

As for me debating the Mormon who is not in the White House and may never be, I assume you are referring to Mitt Romney. None of my posts on this thread referred to Mitt Romney.

I may be totally off base, but that sounds as if the LDS Church isn't just saying "we're Christians," it sounds as if they are saying..."we're the only Christians." Am I missing something? So I ask these questions seriously:
* Does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) currently teach that all other churches fell into apostasy and that Joseph Smith, Jr. restored Christ's church?
* Are all churches other than LDS currently in apostasy?
* Are Catholics, Baptists, Presbyterians, Hindus, and Sikhs apostates?
* If no religion other than LDS has the power to know Jesus Christ or God, nor can have the Holy Ghost, does that mean that only LDS are Christians?
* Are any of the denominations that split away from the original Church of Christ (which became LDS) "Christians"?
* Are any of the denominations that split away from the original Church of Christ (which became LDS) "Mormons" or "Saints"? If not, what are they?

Excellent Qs, Scoutmaster. (I'll doubt if you get a meaningful response from a FREEPER Mormon that directly addresses your Qs)

By now, it’s more of an OLD boy’s club. All the Masons I know are pretty ancient.

I see from your homepage that you’re just a foul-mouthed old woman. I’d just throw a bucket of water on you and watch you melt. You can revel in your hate, and I’ll shut the hell up and ignore you, like I should do with all religious discussions, because of all the hate-filled nuts like you.

well, there is a difference -- that is a religious/philosophical text and the NYT is supposed to be a newspaper.

The NYT puts scurrilous things about Christianity too -- and this piece by Dowd is, well, vintage Dowd

Well, this is an extension of the Baptist concept that the rest of Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant) fell into Apostasy. J Smith took this idea and extended it back to Apostolic times..

Isn't Maureen Dowd a columnist, though, and not a 'hard news' reporter (to the extent anything in the NYT is hard news)? If Beck's religion currently and officially publishes the same sort of statements about all other religions that he complains a newspaper columnist wrote about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is Beck arguing from any position of strength?

It seems to me that the published position of an entire church over a period of 170-odd years trumps the published opinion of one crazy lady on a single day.

Am I interpreting the First Vision incorrectly? Or does the LDS Church no longer teach the Great Apostasy? And this is text, with no verbal cues or facial expressions, so I know it's hard to tell. I'm not asking that as a smart-aleck.

You threaten a woman then stoop even lower to insult her, then ... ya know, you’re just what we expect from those defending mormonISM. You try to bully, then you spittle forth irrationally, then you pretend to strut away from the fray. You might not be comfy at FR, being such a rude, bullying dolt. I’m a sixty six years old man. I live in East Tennessee. Why don’t you threaten me, little donkey?

Thank you for your answer, Cronos. If you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and know what the Church's teachings are with respect to my other questions, and are willing to answer them, then I would appreciate it.

If not, then I appreciate your willingness to answer as you did.

I would say unfortunately yes -- the NYT is a newspaper, while the Mormon philosophy, even if it ticks us Christians off, is religious philosophy.

Am I interpreting the First Vision incorrectly? Or does the LDS Church no longer teach the Great Apostasy? -- I don't know about the first, but I think the LDS does still teach about the GREAT Apostasy -- idiotic because you ask "where were the Mormons for 1800 years then?" and they give some mumbo-jumbo about them heading to America, with 0 archaelogical/linguistic/genetic proof.

You want to talk about "industry" and "Big Business"

You don't have to look very hard.....But I know you are totally deceived..so you can't see it.

LDS, Inc. is the biggest industry in the religious area. Ranches, radio stations, malls, hotels, packing plants, motels, banks, etc...etc....

Tell us...Sandy...how much money and assets does LDS, Inc. have? How much do they give away?

How much do they take in every year?

And you want to talk about "RAKING IT IN HAND OVER FIST"???????? Now THAT was funny!!!!
