Fox News host Glenn Beck announced Tuesday that he has launched an online “academic program” teaching classes in “religion, American history and economics.”
“School may be out for the summer, but for Glenn Beck class is just starting,” reads an announcement on Beck’s website. “This July, while others are relaxing poolside, head back to the classroom — from the comfort of your own home. That may sound like an oxymoron, but Glenn’s new academic program is only available online.”

Usually I skim over any set of bible verses you post because they have no meaning in your hands and it feels sort of dirty, having a non-Christian use my scripture to prove to me that my scripture is unsufficient and innacurate.
Twistianity, as shawn McCrany says.
But one verse caught my eye against my will. What in the name of macaroni and cheese does 1 Sam. 1:13 have to do with Joseph Smith "knowng" that Presbyterianism was untrue?
Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
Mormonism
Deism
The religion of the founders
Well, if that’s true why didn’t he just say so before he was shot in a gun battle.

Joseph killed two people and wounded a third before he (died that gun battle) “was like a lamb lead to the slaughter”!
Probably because JS was also a drunk. That’s the only connection I can see.
You mean “really was” a drunk. Hannah of course wasn’t :-)
Corrected, thanks.
I heard something the other day about him being a “martyr”, shot “in cold blood”. LOL! He had a gun and was breaking out of jail and killed others! I think blood was quite hot at the time.

Joseph Smith was decieved by two DEMONS posing as Angels of Light; or...
he was a very big liar that made up all kinds of fanciful stories.

| I always find if fascinating when LDSers say some document, statement or charge was “answered” and as proof that the issue(s) in question was answered successfully point to LDS sources. How about an acknowledgment from the person making the charge or asking the question. You can ask me if 2+2=4 and I can say “no, you are wrong, your sources are inaccurate”. You can then press the question and I can say “I answered you already, the debate is closed”. Of course I would still be wrong, but as far as I was concerned the question was answered and I can tell all those listening I answered you. |

JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly Facebook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....

Lol, if that’s true then Adolph Hitler would be “martyr”!
I highly doubt it. It appears Beck will be bringing in religious experts to talk about religion. It doesnt say anything about pushing a religion.
If you are going to inject motive into it, then you should inject motive into the other parts of the “school” as well. Is he going to push Mormon history? Doubtful. Will he push Mormon economics? Doubtful.
But you, being the all knowing, have already seen the future that he will push Mormon views and set up a school in honor of murderers. How did you get to be so brilliant? Make a pact with the devil?
Has Obama ever stated publicly that he hates capitalism? Do you think he does. You dont have to specifically say you hate Mormons, we can tell by the themes in your group’s threads.
