[Glenn Beck]”...he may one day be the deity of his own universe...”
In his own mind he already is. Check out his website.
I’m Catholic & it doesn’t bother me that the Mormon doctrine about alcohol is a major difference (not as major as LDS notions about the Divine). Didn’t start out that way as Joseph Smith drank & his followers used tobacco but Mormon revisionism knows no bounds.
Jesus’ first miracle was to change water into wine. Teetotalling denominations are at a loss to explain that away. Catholicism teaches alcohol should be used in moderation and that drunkeness is a sin.
If you're LDS the decision is made for you - alcohol is evil and it is forbidden at all times.
For someone like Beck, whose lack of self-control with regard to alcohol almost ruined his life, a religion that simply forbids it as evil outright probably seems logical to him.
And yes, it is a mug's game to pretend that the Bible forbids alcohol.
