Can anybody explain what the bit about why we should rely on an “invisible magic sky God” - was he just mocking God? I know he’s Mormon and I know he practically worships Lincoln, but that was a little over the top.

I understood it to describe those who hedge their bets in kinda believing in God. Those who don’t work to have a real relationship with God.

I have been listening to him a while, I think he is taking a gentle jab @ the Secular Humanist - Dominant Media types that truly dispise any mention of G_d, since some would use that kind of language to describe him. It is maybe be a C. Hitchens type of statement.

Dude, seriously. He said we shouldn't treat God as an “invisible magic sky God”.

His intentions are noble and American, no matter what his personal religious views are.

He is friends with Penn Jillette, self-described atheist and one who will kid Glenn from time to time with reference to "an invisible magic sky-god" over Beck's beliefs. It was in no way a mock of God by Glenn and should not be looked at as one whatever.

No, he was ripping the typical liberals who mock conservatives for believing in God.

Don't be paranoid about Mormons. I went to school with hundreds of them here in the DC area. They are decent people.
