I agree. Mitt is a little too smooth for me and I am a Mormon. But, I would rather have him than O’Zero in the WH. I would have liked the evangelicals that seem to hate us so much to have helped more with Prop 8. The Catholics in our area did help, but the evangelicals are so splintered that they could not form a coherent front. It is not their fault really. They come in all shades of theology.
But not all religions go so far as to specifically label IN THEIR 'SCRIPTURES' that the rest of God-believers are apostates...that the rest are 100% wrong in their creeds...and that the rest are 100% full of "corrupt" professing believers. Even if opinions are exchanged, I don't see new books in the New Testament embedding those opinions as "scripture." (That can't be said about Mormonism's very founding vision -- which does all of the above -- see Joseph Smith vv. 18-20 in the Pearl of Great Price)
Why can you be such a moron who cares... Last Time I looked we still live in America ( which is changing before us}. Glenn is a good guy. Don’t attack him for something so stupid...
Your proper Panguitch linguistic perfection is showing.
The thing that bothers me about sir Glenn is that wild look he gets in his eyes as he goes off. Reminds me of an overdone seminary teacher or of a fundamentalist idiot trying to look like a reincarnated JS or BY.
OBEY ME!
Except you just did. (Scythian's) As in, who are you to...
We see two-faced posts here all the time in FReeperland. (I just rarely see them in back-to-back sentences)
Classic just like "What does Bill Clinton's personal life have to do with his ability to be a good president?"
In my opinion, you are splitting hairs.
I do see that it is a “relative observation”, but God created Adam and Eve as perfect (but with the free will to ruin it), and when God raises everyone*, they will live forever with Him. They will be as gods for all practical purposes, although not the same as God, e.g., all-powerful.
If the Mormons are saying that their god-like personages will be equal to God, then of course that is logically ridiculous. One all-powerful God, logically, is all that is possible in God’s Universe.
Funny, I didn't know Beck was president. This while time I thought he was just a news commentator.
It frightens me too.
The foundational belief of a Mormon.... A fourteen year old had a vision and saw a physical God the Father and His physical son Jesus Christ (two separate beings) and said all other religions were false and that said boy was the only one chosen of God to restore Christianity to earth since it had all become corrupted and removed from earth shortly after the original apostles died. This boy grew up, took 33 women to be his wives (some of them married already to other men) and he was eventually executed to his own visions of granduer.
To believe Mormonism, Beck must believe this claim. While he’s free to believe whatever the heck he chooses, we too are free to wonder what is wrong with his rational mind.
Faith is not something to reason with, for or against.
The essence of faith is that it is *not* reasoned.
So, the jist of several comments we see on this thread is that Glenn should continue to attack the falsehoods of the liberals...the falsehoods of the White House...the falsehoods of the MSM...the falsehoods of the Democrats...but on anything faith-wise, there's no such thing as truth & falsehood...Glenn can critique away on the former items mentioned above, but is teflon to critiques about truth beyond that???
Faith is willed, to the extent that a human can will anything. (There might be corp of people standing ready to say that God does not grant us the power to do anything voluntary, even to will to believe in him. To them, I say, “”. (Nothing.))
When he critiques other religions as being false & his the only true way, you absolutely every right to go after him on it, in fact I would happily join that discussion.
Until then, IMHO, his religious convictions don't matter to me in the least.
I care. I'm also free to be suspicious of pepsi worshipers.
All: Please retract your claws long enough to answer this question.
Who among you celebrates faith -- man's ability to believe in things unseen and unprovable? Who does not?
That bothers me too, along with the emotionalism. Although Glenn has done some very great work, these actions of his remind me of the "dry drunk".
IMO, you can see more of the "true" Glenn in interviews on the O'Reilly show. He sometimes seems to be a ticking time bomb.
I wish all intelligent family and friends in the church would pay attention to what he has to say. His honesty about the sorrow he felt when he finally had the courage to admit that he had been too close to the process. His letter to Holland was powerful
