When Glenn Beck told listeners of his radio show on March 2 that they should "run as fast as you can" from any church that preached "social or economic justice" because those were code words for Communism and Nazism, he probably thought he was tweaking a few crunchy religious liberals who didn't listen to the show anyway. Instead he managed to outrage Christians in most mainline Protestant denominations, African-American congregations, Hispanic churches, and Catholics...

Why? Because she doesn’t buy the party line of ‘Mormons are Christians, too. Never mind the blasphemy.”?

Judas tried to lecture Christ on social and economic justice and was very disappointed with his rebuke.

Perhaps. Or perhaps he will come unglued and start leading people down the wrong path.

Your hatred of Mormons evidently clouds everything in your world. Try not to share it with us so regularly.

Wow, that is an arrogant assumption from you.

The “party line” is apparently that it’s okay to denigrate certain religions. Antisemitism is rightfully not tolerated here, but for LDS apparently it’s open season.

I don’t like Glenn Beck and I like Mitt Romney even less. But my dislike has nothing to do with what church they attend.

But that’s okay. Say what you want to say since the forum rules allow it, even though your comments are intended to insult rather than inform. Not that I think my $25 or $50 will be missed, but I’m not about to pay to be offended.

Lots of things wrong about the article.

Beck isn’t really conservative, he’s kind of Perotish really, and no Christian that I know uses the term ‘social justice.’ Nor does any Christian think that the poor should feed at the public trough.

II Thess 3:
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

It is interesting that you equate my relating experiences from being LDS and my posting of the LDS’ OWN writings as ‘antisemitism’. Not even close.

I don’t like Beck or Romney REGARDLESS of their faith, not because of it.

I was LDS for several years and I know how I was mislead about their teachings when i joined.

You withhold your money, yet you are still on here using FR. At least some of us help cover the costs for the bandwidth we use.

Beck doesn’t hate Jesus. He hates “social justice.” I believe given the definition of social justice, Jesus would hate it too.

THANK YOU!!!!

I am tired of Beck constantly being called a ‘great conservative’ when I question if he is either.

IMO, Beck doesn’t KNOW Jesus, not really.

And, no, I do not agree with the author that the liberal idea of ‘social justice’ equals Christianity. It does not.

Yes, you're right. Social justice is not Christianity.

Beck was railing against social justice, not Christianity. Whoever wrote the article is trying to stir up Christians against Beck. Not a good idea.

And I was denied baptism as a Catholic when I was a child because my mother was unmarried. But I don’t hate Catholics - in fact I’m married to one.

Even your tagline is denigrating. Grow up.
