That being said, I hate that we’re all fighting over Beck’s Christianity. I mean, really? The man openly professes his belief in Jesus Christ to an audience of millions, and we’re sitting here saying, “He’s a Mormon! He’s not a Christian! He’s a [fill in your Mormon invective].” Take the religion out of the picture, and you have a man who’s daily struggle is to preach the Greatness of this country through it’s founding documents.Well said. And I'm no Mormon. And I recognize the Mormon religion has its problems. But it is nevertheless a religion and it is very, very pro-American.But oh, let’s not focus on the good he’s doing for the country; let’s focus on how NOT CHRISTIAN HE IS!
Really guys... get a grip.
We've got to win the war, people.
Can you imagine, on Wake Island for example, marines going up to their commanding officer and saying, "we can't have Johnny fighting beside us. He's a Mormon, you know. You do know that they have a conceptually inaccurate picture of Jesus Christ, don't you?"
Thank you, Sam, and very well stated! Catholicism has all of the warts and faults out in the open as well. Episcopalians have/had gays in their clergy. The list could go on, but I digress.
This is truly a cultural war, and if we are sitting here quibbling over how someone worships, we have got a very long way to go to win the internal battle. No one will EVER agree on one faith over the other for the purpose of political expediency.
