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...

Have you ever been lied to by someone you trusted and was in authority? Like your mother not telling you who your father was? It is like that.
Finding out that your church that you trusted INTENTIONALLY lied to you from the beginning is devastating and I want to help others avoid that.
Telling the truth is never hate.
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.

Charge any windmills lately ???
And you call me PARANOID...
LOL
I don’t “hang out” in any one particular forum. I access articles from the “Everything” category.
Oh bullcrap. I saw some of that series and he was pointing out how the author of the paper called ‘Social Justice’ was knee deep in connections with communist thinking. There was no anti-Christian slant to it. Why is it when facts are presented people wig out? (or to quote the monster in office: get “wee-weed” up)
I was calling you arrogant for your assumption that TN (or any of us) is fueled by hate.
I, for one, am fueled by a desire to have others avoid making the same mistake I did by joining the LDS church and by having those trapped in Mormonism freed through Jesus Christ.
If you search most of my posts you will see I can be quite reasonable on these threads.
I apologize for insulting you.
“How much do you know about Mormonism?”

What exactly is wrong with my saying that I’m defending Beck for the work he’s doing exposing the sleaze ball, traitorous, commie left? You rather he not do it?
I don’t think I used the word ‘hate’ a single time. The answer to your question, without getting specific, is “yes, multiple times”.
The difference between you and I is that I don’t use that betrayal, real or perceived, as a crutch to be boorish to those who don’t share your particular viewpoint.

I dont know...
Let me think about that and get back to you...
I accept your apology and appreciate the gesture. I had not even posted a word to TN when you called me arrogant, so there was no need to defend her.

Then you’re different from the mormons....
Must have mixed you up with someone else. Again, I am sorry.
Hey doo, no body pinged me to your exercise of openly embarrassing yourself. It stuck out like a sore thumb all by itself.
You know, if you skin is too thin, then perhaps this is not the area for you. Otherwise, please try to put together a respectable response.

JustaDumbBlonde,
what did you mean in your #147 to Colofonian ???
“Your hatred of Mormons evidently clouds everything in your world. Try not to share it with us so regularly.”
You used the word ‘hate’ in post #160, an implication that I ‘hate’ Mormons but you do not ‘hate’ Catholics.
And it is not a crutch by any stretch of the imagination. I believe that I am called to tell the truth about the LDS church and to warn others.
If i was as narrow minded as you seem to think I am, I would attack anyone who does not agree with me religiously and that simply is not true.
My ministry is to the LDS, much like the Tanners, Shawn McCraney, Mark Cares.
The LDS want to be considered Christian thus their doctrines are subject to the same scrutiny that any other group wanting to be part of the body of Christ is.
The difference is the LDS doctrines cannot withstand scrutiny or comparison with the Bible.
Are you LDS? I am wondering why you are so defensive of them?
Ahhh..it was to Colo, not you. Got it. Thanks nana.
***The prolific rates at which they post about Beck and Mormonism is truly astounding.***
What is sad is a good thread about Beck and “social justice” has been hijacked into a theology thread by a resident atheist here.
That’s what i was addressing in my # 152

And I was denied baptism as a Catholic when I was a child because my mother was unmarried.Hmmm, that just doesn't sound right.
