Why Does Glenn Beck Hate Jesus?

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...

Chrisitianity is not hate, and I fully understand that being a Christian. I asked that the hatred of Mormons not be shared so regularly. Your mileage may vary and I am not your kid. Beck was right in his assessment of the social and economic justice angle and that is the only thing that I was addressing.

Other than that, I'll kindly back the heck out of your oh-so-high-and-mighty Religion Forum. Y'all can get back to calling names of anyone that doesn't agree with your narrow mind.

I agree with that. But I also am careful to separate my faith from politics and Christianity from Mormonism.

You hang out in the Religion Forum also...

I do?? I must be doing it in my sleep then! You probably have me mixed up with someone else.

Even your tagline is denigrating. Grow up.

Looks like the one needing to grow up here is you doo. If you cannot provide a cognizant post in support your opinion or position - avoid personal attacks and leave.

I have no issue with Catholics, I grew up in a Catholic school. I didn’t leave the LDS because I was ‘offended’ or ‘wanted to sin’ (common attacks against apostates like me).

I left because I found out it was a fraud and that my CHURCH LIED TO ME OPENLY, something no real Christian church would do.

Just as if I found out a used car dealer was a crook. I would warn others. I am warning others of a dangerous spiritual fraud.

You can stay off the RF and still support FR, unless you are just using us as an excuse to not ‘pony up’.

Oh and I changed my tagline for you. :D

The prolific rates at which they post about Beck and Mormonism is truly astounding.

Calling in your posse, huh? My punishment for posting contrary to the groupthink, I suppose. Lesson learned.

Do you consider Mormons to be Christians? How much do you know about Mormonism?

Honest questions...

Your selective admonishment I find not surprising in the least.

Thanks. I will take that as a compliment too.

The more people I show the truth about Mormonism the better.

Of course you have me confused with someone else. I don't "hang out in the Religion Forum" as you claimed. I don't know if I've ever visited the forum once. And I didn't say anything at all here about religion in my defense of what Beck is doing in exposing the communist left. You sound a bit paranoid.

"Do you consider Mormons to be Christians?"

I do not.

"How much do you know about Mormonism?"

Enough that I'm not going to sit here and type it all out in detail for someone who was calling me arrogant a few minutes ago.
