That’s odd Beck said on tape he only converted because his wife refused to have sex with him. There is a video in YouTube
Not quite...
"...my wife-to-be said she wouldn't marry me unless we had a religion we shared..."
(Around the 0:55 timeline.)
Yet in another YouTube video which Elsie linked, it was his daughter's influence. It sounds like Beck is taking after his hero Joseph Smith with multiple versions of the same story.
If indeed it was his wife's sexual blackmail that forced Beck into the Mormon Church, the Beck family should have read 1 Corinthians 7:1-5. Paul makes it clear that one marriage partner may not unilaterally withhold sexual favors from the other. To do so is sin.
I have not been able to find the quote I was looking for. I know it was on his radio show because I can remember exactly where I was when I heard the quote - there are no TVs at that intersection. Besides I have only seen his TV show a couple of times - my first exposure to it included one of Beck's maudlin, teary-eyed discussions. It disgusted me and I have only seen his show since then when someone else was watching it and I entered the room. I would sometimes listen to his radio show on my way to work because he had the morning time slot and there wasn't anything else on at that time.
I don't remember the exact context in which Beck made the statement about not being able to refute Mormonism. I thought it was before or during his conversion process but the investigation could have occurred afterwards, I guess. Who needs evidence when your daughter has a burning in the bosom or you get a coincidental phone call or your wife is sexually blackmailing you or whatever? I just remember saying aloud in total disbelief "Really?".
