Yadda yadda yadda Mormon, yadda yadda yadda bad.
“Beck, of late, seems to be making himself at home in that realm, and he’s attracting many who call themselves Bible-believing Christians.”
Look to me like Glen(n) Beck is trying to be the white, male, conservative Oprah.
In the battle for this nations soul and survival, let's make sure that, every day, we post something to run down another leading Conservative!
Thank you for helping elect more Obamas!
Yeah, I do kinda’ wish he’d stop preaching mormonism, which is a man-made cult and horribly heretical “religion.”
He has a lot of other great qualities, but his not being a Christian, no matter what he says, hurts his credibility.
Glenn doesn’t force ‘his God’ down the throat of anyone.. He leaves it to his listeners to take from it what they want.
As long as Glenn Beck angers the left then he’ll be good in my book. He’s done a lot in 3 years to expose Obama. I’m anti-Obama and anyone speaking against him is good.
A. T. Mahan was a brilliant 19th century naval strategist who wrote “The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783”.
What is T. A. McMahon’s claim to fame?
If you go to this clowns website, you’ll see he is not a Christian, but an anti Mormon propagandist. Period.
His whole operation is built upon hawking Mormon Hatred FOR CASH of course.
Not exactly what I’d call Christian.
Beck could take these two clowns down in a one hour show. They better be careful.
After he returned from Christmas break, he's dropped most of the preachy, professorial, tutorial crappioli presentations he was getting bogged down in.......and which was causing folks, including me, to tune him out.
Since then, he's concentrated brilliantly on exposing the Obama regime, commies in government, radical organizations, etc. in a manner we've never seen before....and which we had all prayed to see happen in the media some day. Rush had given it a fling on TV, but unfortunately for us, it didn't pan out....and that was about the last of conservativism we were to see on the tube till Glenn popped up almost out of nowhere.
It's obvious Beck was "talked to" by a higher power in the Fox hierarchy during the holiday break or before. He really toned the preachy stuff down most remarkably. He's quite bearable now....and a gratifying font of well-researched info and education on the aims and methods of the enemies of our Republic.
If his particular style is not bearable, don't watch. He is not for everyone in this age of escapism and agreeable TV pap. His pre-taped Friday shows are usually crashing bores. The rest of the week I watch avidly. But nobody's perfect....including Rush who's been having some really inferior programs lately.
I personally cut Glenn some slack on his style because of all the inside stuff and the over-all value of his show's content to me as a conservative and an unabashed patriot.
Glenn is probably more of a Norman Vincent Peale than a Billy Sunday. As such, I find absolutely nothing in his own particular brand of do-good, live-right and be-aware set of values that offends or threatens my Christianity in the least.
My Christianity is not that frail of a thing that a good-natured, well-motivated, non-threatening Mormon or Baptist or Catholic with a TV program could shake even if he or she tried.
If one is looking for insidious propagandizing on Fox, turn the spotlight on socialist/populists like O'Reilly and Rivera, not on our ally, Glenn Beck.

Beck is a "good" man, IMHO, and has "good" intentions. There are good Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Methodists, ect, but I don't have to walk lockstep with anyone. It is fine to point out people's weaknesses, but you must know that you will soon be alone with no friends. I am friends with many people with varying beliefs, but I just have spirited discussions with them and don't abandon them. If my arguments can't hold up, maybe I need to re evaluate my arguments. It's called "learnin something". I think everyone would agree that starting a fight over what the Bible says is easy. The writers of the article believe they are the Bible experts that everyone must follow or they are following the devil. I may agree more with them than Beck Biblically, but to act like that only separates Christians. If you argue over salvation issues, that would be enough to anger a friend, but there are many arguments we could have amongst ourselves that have no bearing whether we go to heaven or not. One might be whether the Founders were Christians or not. I submit, as a group, they were more "Christian" than many pastors today.
On the whole, I think Beck is a treasure and will continue to watch and listen. I will never consider Mormonism as a plan of salvation. The two don't have to be mutually inclusive.
Beck’s religious belief is not dangerous to those who are knowledgeable about Mormonism and Christian Theology. He doesn’t hide his bias—it is his faith. I will not condemn him for his belief system, although I think he is in error, but I will not condemn him for having a belief system. I would rather he be Mormon than muslim. Although Mormonism lacks logic and reason unlike Christianity, it is not the equivalent to the no-logic, no free will— of islam.
What is surprising is his great logic when he attacks Progressive ideas and relates the Founding Father’s belief in Objective Truth and their intent when constructing the Constitution of the US. He is right about the historical context of the document and he is absolutely right when he says that our rights come from God....it is actually stated in the Founding documents. It was the Christian God—not just any god. He acknowledges that also.
His education into the historical founding of the country is also enlightening and I haven’t heard anything that isn’t “truthful” when he talks about political events and he ALWAYS recommends doing your own research which is consistent with people who are honest and have good intentions.
The New Age Religion movement is a problem....this water-down syncretism is what destroyed religion in Germany and Europe and has destroyed Christianity to a large degree in the US. Again, knowledge and education is the answer to the ignorance that allows this to happen.
Beck does state that it doesn’t matter which “god” you worship.....I do disagree with that profoundly. It makes all the difference in the world and the Founders were very specific (because of the devout Christians who founded this country) to enshrine the Christian ethic in the Founding documents and our legal system which is incompatible with many other “gods”.
I kind’a like Beck’s TV program. Radio not so much. I have no illusions or delusions about his religion.
Thanks for posting fishtank; I agree with their (and your?) assessment!
And, didn't he pick Butler to beat Pitt?
Something happened to Glenn Beck when he was locked up in that FEMA camp and he's had amazing powers of prophecy ever since he escaped.
Oh look. It’s yet another attack on the LDS Church post on FR. What a surprise. /yawn
You really need to give it a rest. HATE isn’t something we relish here on FR.
God Bless. You’ll need it.
Oho
Heads will roll
