I wonder if the guy was drunk when he wrote this. It certainly doesn’t make any sense.
I agree. Wasn't Baal a cow or something?

I think he was a bull god the pagans worshiped.

Baal was a false god, like the god of Mormonism, the one on display at the rally.

Here are some of his other thoughts..do these make sense?

“A dear fellow Christian, in coming to understand where I am on this issue wrote to me today saying, “I like Glenn Beck and appreciate his effort to bring America back to her godly roots. He is doing a great job in uniting government, church, and media. He does speak from a Mormon perspective but still has a heart of seeing America return to God even though he might not have the same theological view as we do.”

I responded by saying, “ I understand you - but I cannot agree that Mormonism is in any way “godly.” According to the Bible, there is nothing at all godly about false religion. Godliness is not just about acts of service, honor, integrity, courage and the like, as wonderful as these things are, but it also includes worship of the One true God and the avoidance of all forms of idolatry. Mormonism is idolatrous worship and when Glenn Beck prays, despite his intentions, he prays to a false god who cannot help either Mr. Beck or America.”

I can remember reading about the worshippers of the golden calf. They had high family values and were absolutely sincere in their worship. Now I may not be the sharpest tool in the drawer, but I do tend to get the distinct impression that God didn’t like the worship - yeah, the ground opening up and swallowing the worshippers.. hmmm... it does lead me to believe that God was somehow ticked, wouldn’t you say?

And then I wonder what God would feel about a “prophet” in the Old Testament asking Baal to bring Israel back to its godly roots. I think in such times, he would be stoned. In Deuteronomy 18:20 God says to His people, “But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
