I am about as Fundamental as it gets, and even I can see the Devil striving to stop this in it's tracks.
Beck had rabbis, priests, and even an imam or two up there with him, which makes him LESS of a bigot than some. Any Imam willing to stand tall with a plan for keeping America strong and full of liberty FOR ALL makes even me think there may be one or two honest Muslims, and after the last decade, that is saying something. The time for bickering is after we throw the devil out of office. Then I will be delighted to have you go head to head with those with a different godview, and I hope you convince them...after Obama is gone, hopefully in an orange jumpsuit, or barring that, at least Congress has changed hands. Until that time, Wormwood, take this outside.
Ben Franklin said it, I believe: "If we do not hang together, we shall all hang separately."
The Rabbi and the Imam are not trying to sell their religions as Christianity, Beck is doing a very good job of selling Mormonism to Christians as Christian as evidenced by this thread and others like it.
The Mormons are currently running a PR campaign selling Mormonism as Christian, and Mormon missionaries will be showing up at Christian homes capitalizing on this and selling Mormonism as Christian.
Did Jefferson as you to unite and pray to his god?
While Jefferson has been lionized by those who seek to drive religion from public life, the true Thomas Jefferson is anything but their friend. He was anything but irreligious, anything but an enemy to Christian faith. Our nation's third president was, in fact, a student of Scripture who attended church regularly, and was an active member of the Anglican Church, where he served on his local vestry. He was married in church, sent his children and a nephew to a Christian school, and gave his money to support many different congregations and Christian causes.
Moreover, his "Notes on Religion," nine documents Jefferson wrote in 1776, are "very orthodox statements about the inspiration of Scripture and Jesus as the Christ," according to Mark Beliles, a Providence Foundation scholar and author of an enlightening essay on Jefferson's religious life.
So what about the Jefferson Bible, that miracles-free version of the Scriptures? That, too, is a myth. It is not a Bible, but an abridgement of the Gospels created by Jefferson in 1804 for the benefit of the Indians. Jefferson's "Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth Extracted From the New Testament for the Use of the Indians" was a tool to evangelize and educate American Indians. There is no evidence that it was an expression of his skepticism.
Was Jefferson a self-designated revivalist holding outdoor revivals & pretending like he had the original concept for the Bahai faith?
Beck had rabbis, priests, and even an imam or two up there with him, which makes him LESS of a bigot than some.
Well, by all means. When Beck holds Revival 2.0, he can "grow" his religious stage and then the prayer leaders can be traded among a Jehovah's Witness practitioner, a Wiccan priestess, a Hare Krishna dancing intercessor, a New Age "Christ consciousness" adherent, and a Scientologist. I mean if more frontstage "religious unity" somehow equates in your "magic formula" to "less bigotry," then why stop with a Rabbi and an Imam and whoever else?
Ben Franklin said it, I believe: "If we do not hang together, we shall all hang separately."
So all the religions should just have cross-pollinized "revivals" in order to "hang together?" On exactly what grounds are you going to include some religious reps and exclude others? What boundaries will be operative, and if there are some, why and how?
