I ain’t clicking that link. Glenn’s probably contagious, and I don’t want to be infected.
“I don’t want my children to look at that man and say, ‘Yeah, he’s my President.’ I won’t have that I will not endorse it, I will not tolerate it,”.
But Hillary’s just hunky-dory, right Glenn?
It is not so much a mental health issue as pandering. He believes if you do not embrace and pander to illegals, Latinos, and Blacks then you are a racist. We who hold them to the same standards as anybody else are in his convoluted world “racists”.
He loves to pour on the liberal-on-race syrup. He goes out of his way to slam the South. He goes out of his way to support illegal border crossings. He wants those accolades for being sensitive. For all his talk about the constitution his actions show contempt for the rule of law.
Fair comment. Mormons are not Christian simply because they do not baptize in the name of the Trinity. And no, Brigham Young did not teach the Trinity but taught the Lord is simply a new Adam.
Glenn Beck is very smart and writes very good books. My guess is that he is comfortable with talking and talking without much interruptions and thus gets sloppy. He could exercise more, support the will of the people and continue to write very good books. Supporting Cruz hurt is brand in the long run.
I saw your screen name ... Glenn , is that you ?
I myself am bi-polar and can tell when someone is close to a psychotic break. I believe he is close. I don’t know about suicidal but I do believe he is delusional and has a savior complex thinking that he has been ordained to save the nation. at the moment I believe that he thinks that some predictions made by either joseph smith or brigham young are going to come to pass. unfortunately for him as reality does not live up to what he thinks it should be he will break further with it tell he is hospitalized and has his mania brought under control.
He needs a visit from CPS.
Beck’s show used to be okay a long time ago, around 2003 I guess. In the last several years his show got pretty bad and this year the few times I bothered to tune in, his show was unlistenable. I was wondering if Beck’s antics backfired and hurt Cruz, but then again, do enough people still listen to that show that it would make a difference?
I don’t think he is mentally ill at all; this guy threatened to stab the man who is likely to be the next president. I think he is doing this so he has a legal defense.
If you knew anything about Mormonism or Christianity, you would know they are nothing alike. Mormonism, if anything, is a form of Islam.
//Sure, Mormons are different than other Christians, but they are Christians. //
No they are not. It is their theology and low view of Christ that makes them not Christians.
I can state specifics if you want. Its not bigotry its facts.
I firmly believe it is the cognative dissonance. Mormonism does that to people. I see it over and over again. You want to believe and then find out its all a scam and the excuses don’t hold anymore (we call it having your “Mormon shelf” crumble because when you have doubts or questions Mormon leaders say things like “put it on the shelf” meaning don’t think about it)
I actually feel sorry for him.
Exactly
I gave up on Beck long ago. I can’t believe he still has fans. He’s a loon, and may turn dangerous. He could kill his own family to keep them from living “under a Trump regime”.
more than the basketball team, the ‘prophet’ was sopeanaed along with LDS financial records for a lawsuit about the racism THAT is when he had the ‘official declaration’.
You might be surprised at how in line Becks rantings are with his religion.
// you will go to the ends of the Earth to justify what they do or say.//
I see that with those who follow Joseph Smith a lot.
Except Catholics and Protestants agree on the Core doctrines and on the person work and nature of Christ.
Mormons do not on any of it.
Quotes about Christians by Mormon leaders (Just a few from my file, I have plenty more)...
“What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world”
- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 270
“...all the priests who adhere to the sectarian religions of the day with all their followers, without one exception, receive their portion with the devil and his angels.”

“Nothing less than a complete apostasy from the Christian religion would warrant the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

“He did send His angel to this same obscure person, Joseph Smith jun., who afterwards became a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, and informed him that he should not join any of the religious sects of the day, for they were all wrong; that they were following the precepts of men instead of the Lord Jesus; that He had a work for him to perform, inasmuch as he should prove faithful before Him.”
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 2, p. 171
“Brother Taylor has just said that the religions of the day were hatched in hell. The eggs were laid in hell, hatched on its borders, and then kicked on to the earth.”

“The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God”
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 171
“...the time came when Paganism was engrafted into Christianity, and at last Christianity was converted into Paganism rather than converting the Pagans. And subsequently the Priesthood was taken from among men, this authority was re-called into the heavens, and the world was left without the Priesthood—without the power of God—without the Church and Kingdom of God.”
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 22, p. 44
“Christians—those poor, miserable priests brother Brigham was speaking about—some of them are the biggest whoremasters there are on the earth, and at the same time preaching righteousness to the children of men. The poor devils, they could not get up here and preach an oral discourse, to save themselves from hell; they are preaching their fathers’ sermons —preaching sermons that were written a hundred years before they were born. ...You may get a Methodist priest to pour water on you, or sprinkle it on you, and baptize you face foremost, or lay you down the other way, and whatever mode you please, and you will be damned with your priest.
- Apostle Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, v. 5, p. 89
“Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century.”
- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 6, p. 167
“Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom.”
- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 10, p. 127
“What! Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute beast.”
- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 225

- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 225
“After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon.”
- Apostle George Q. Cannon, Gospel Truth, p. 324
“Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness.”
- Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, v. 3, p. 266
“For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the ‘Christian’ churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men.”
- Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, v. 3, p. 282
“...the Book of Mormon remains secure, unchanged and unchangeable, ...But with the Bible it was not and is not so....it was once in the sole and exclusive care and custody of an abominable organization [Christianity], founded by the devil himself, likened prophetically unto a great whore, whose great aim and purpose was to destroy the souls of men in the name of religion. In these hands it ceased to be the book it once was.”
- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, The Joseph Smith Translation, pp. 12, 13
“Believers in the doctrines of modern Christendom will reap damnation to their souls.”
- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, see pp. 45-46
“... all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ.... in large part the worship of apostate Christendom is performed in ignorance, as much so as was the worship of the Athenians who bowed the Unknown Gods.”
- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 269, 374-375
Mormons believe their own thing, and it goes way *beyond* anything Jesus Christ taught. As another poster noted, it has more in common with Islam.
