Glenn Beck Condemns Obama's Christianity, Calls for "Religious Revival"

My feeling... I think you're just trying to be as obnoxious as humanly possible.

Obama is a muslim,Jesus was a christian,and monsanto really does care for humanity.....HA!

"islamic muslim"?

So... Does that mean there are different kinds of Muslims?

Are there Jewish, Christian, and/or Pagan Muslims?

What about different flavors? I want a lemon-flavored Muslim!

why does the name Hussein scare you so much? It's a very common name in the middle east. It's like Smith or Johnson in the US. You obviously use it when refering to Obama to try to make him sound scary. IT'S NOT WORKING! It makes you look desperate.

AMEN ...or I mean... well you know what I meant.

Do you have any idea what Obama's Christianity is like?

No, and I don't care.
We have freedom of religion in this country, so all I care about are his political views and actions, not his religious beliefs. As long as he's not a Theocrat like Glen Beck, his religion is irrelevant.

Plus, it's obvious Glen Beck has absolutely no clue what Obama's Christianity is like- heck, he spends half his time accusing him of being a Muslim.

Do you have any idea what Glen Beck's Christianity is like?
He's a Mormon.
Do you know anything about Mormonism?
They believe that Jesus came to America to talk to a lost tribe of Israel.
They believe that God had physical sex with Mary to conceive Jesus.
Mormonism is polytheistic- they believe God was once a physical being among many similar beings, had many wives, and many children.
God is simply the God of our planet- other planets have other Gods.

They also believe that if you are a good Mormon man, when you die you get a planet of your own, and become a God there.

SO, ibrake4rappers13, what is YOUR Christianity like?

Get your head out of that hole in the ground, and realize idiots like him are manipulating you.

So you don't care that he spent 20 years sitting Jerimiah Wright's racist church?

Since he himself is not a racist, it's irrelevant.

And as far as I'm concerned, MOST churches are bigoted, yet for some reason we keep electing Christians to public office.

For a Christian, Obama is the most secular president we have ever had.

And why are YOU complaining about someone you think is a Muslim attending a Christian Church? Don't you think he was just trying to study Americans to learn how to overthrow them?

... and as a typical conservative, you ignored everything about Glen Beck's beliefs.
The Moron Church is also racist- they did not allow blacks in their priesthood/congregation until recently, and even then there are hardly any.

Not that you care about racism, as long as it's not directed at whites.

Oh well, Beck's a nut too. He's a Morman, way out there.

Here is the difference-
Glen Beck is a nut.
Obama is not- his former minister was.

Do you? All you know is it went to a church with a big mouth preacher. have you talked to the man read his works took the time to look at his religion? If so show me the when where why's and how's.

What does the fact that Glenn Beck is Mormon, if in fact he is, have to do with anything. I have met many Mormons, some were quite friendly and quite stable, little too friendly actually almost every Mormon I have met has been excessively friendly and happy. But the point is just because he is Mormon does not make him crazy, what makes him crazy is he advocates the murder of illegal immigrants, he advocates allowing people to starve within our own country, oh and I don’t think he has checked single fact in his whole career.

Other than his attending church regularly with his family, public disclosure of his faith and his practice of said faith?

Do you not recall the big hassle over his Pastor making disparaging comments during his campaign that he subsequently had to distance himself from?

Further, what the hell does it matter what our leader chooses to practice for his faith, unless we're living in Iran?

So you don't care that the comments made by the pastor were largely taken out of context and, even so, when those comments were made public (these were written by said pastor, not spoken during sermon IIRC), Obama distanced himself from the Pastor, stating he disagreed with those POLITICAL views expressed?

Doesn't ANYONE read anymore? We have a 24 hour news cycle, and accountability for articles and information going back years. It's called the Internet. Use it.

He is mormon, he's professed such.

It's also interesting to note that, as late as the day this rally was held, religious groups were speaking out against the fact that he was Mormon, but representing traditional Christian/Catholic values.

Mormonism borrows much from Christianity, but even more from, say, Scientology.

It has to do with the fact that he misrepresents himself on a religious level in order to gain listeners, so he can tell them to call Goldline and buy their gold.

I have no doubt that he is corrupt, and Mormon's values are not to far off from that of maistream christianity, it is different, no doubt and they have many differences in theology but that still doesnt change the fact that his religion is irrelavant, being mormon makes him no more or less corupt, he is simply corupt. Useing the fear of conservative americans to make money, and he is hurting others to make his profit so that is by far more disgusting. I just dont see how his being mormon changes anything. he is still a heartless pig with no real skill talent or inteligence.

I agree whole-heartedly about his moral bankruptcy; the fact is that the Mormon belief structure, while sharing many common elements with Christianity, is not considered by any other faith outside of Mormonism as christianity.

Yet, rather than coming from a perspective of his Mormon faith, he paints himself as an every-day christian, even though both religions differ.

His being a mormon has nothing at all to do with his other policies, it does however make him more corrupt in his coloring of his faith to suit his political agenda.

To those of us outside the christian faith altogether we see the mormons just as christian as every other sect of christianity, just with a bit more differences than the others. But I can see how other christians would reject them out of hand, they did add a whole new book to the one and only book. I get it, and how can he be coloring his faith, if he in fact out and out said he is mormon? Perhaps his personal beleifs are the same and is a misunderstanding of mormonism that colors the beleifs of others. Judging somone based on their religion is never a safe bet, rather the safe bet is to judge them on the facts presented. Beleif is never fact.

I am well versed with the Mormon faith, and there are more differences than just having (two, not just one) holy book in addition to the Bible. The issue here is that while he has stated that he is, in fact, Mormon, he claims to represent Christianity as a whole, which simply is not the case.

The values he speaks for are, in this particular case, universal among the varied Christian denominations. The problem is in his misrepresentation of his faith as a political tool.

Remember, I never stated that he is a problem because he's Mormon, or that his faith as a Mormon is somehow responsible for his actions. I merely pointed out first that he was Mormon (you seemed confused about this fact in the comment I originally replied to) and to point out that while the faith itself does not necessarily portend ill intent, he doesn't discuss his being Mormon due to the backlash from other Christian communities which are at present his bread and butter.

As you yourself stated. "To those of us outside the christian faith altogether we see the mormons just as christian as every other sect of christianity, just with a bit more differences than the others."

This is precisely what he's counting on. He doesn't want people to make the distinction because within the Christian community, many don't consider him Christian at all.

"Judging somone based on their religion is never a safe bet, rather the safe bet is to judge them on the facts presented. Beleif is never fact."

Tell that to Glen Beck who said that we ALL need to 'return to Christian values.' I'm not judging him because he's Mormon, touts himself a Christian or otherwise. I judge him because, as a political figure, he should be held to a higher standard of personal responsibility and honesty due to his following and public exposure on this level.

"But the point is just because he is Mormon does not make him crazy, what makes him crazy is he advocates the murder of illegal immigrants, he advocates allowing people to starve within our own country, oh and I don’t think he has checked single fact in his whole career."

The problem is when you hide your crazy behind your religion, and get others to do the same.

I read. I can also read between the lines. Not that there is any reason to in the case of the good Rev. Wright.

I'm not a very religious person, just Mormons seems a little farther out than most. I've never heard him advocate murder or starvation though, but then I don't pay that much attention to him. I'll have to take your word on that.

Yes, clearly your ability to assume implications and hidden meanings supercedes any necessity of fact or reference.

I wouldn't go that far, but if we're still talking about the good Rev. Wright, no assumations are needed, his meanings are quite clear.

At what point did Obama declare that his decision to re-distribute wealth (Do you raging idiots still somehow not remember that the stimulus packages originated with Bush, but yet it's Obama who's a communist) based on religious justification?

And, just because Reverand Wright had some pretty backwards ideas about politics, did not mean that his ministrations in Christianity were identical. Were you there? did you experience any of his teachings, or did you just listen to what Fox News said and ran with it?

Watched your video. There's nothing he describes here about Reverand Wright's political beliefs, he's generalizing about religious institutions and experiences, and when he discusses how Wright is a great example of what a black church has to offer, it could be inferred, based on what Obama has stated elsewhere, that he's discussing this in a religious context, not a political one.

Do some reading of your own: http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/21/the-full-story-behind-rev-jeremiah-wrights...

Christian redistribution of wealth: Giving to the poor, the sick, the needy.

Your redistribution of wealth: Taking away your bling because Obama is a Nazi.

Theres a difference between redistribution of wealth and charity.

And Obama's redistribution is more like; take from rich whites and give to poor black.

his religion is highly specific about this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pviJvH_SE5A

Christian redistrubution of wealth: Mega churches, mercedes for the pastor, Gay hookers & Meth dealers, straight hookers & secret love children.

Our redistribution of wealth: Taxing the people who actually have all the money.

"Theres a difference between redistribution of wealth and charity."

That was exactly my point. In context, if you watch the whole interview, the discussion is about religious values, and the interviewee was discussing charity, and redistribution of wealth in a religious context, not in the way you're trying to spin it.

"And Obama's redistribution is more like; take from rich whites and give to poor black."

Ohh, sorry. This whole time I thought you might be a reasoned individual, I didn't realize you were a bigot. My bad.

"reading between the lines" is a euphemism for "making things up".

I support Separation of Church and State.

I also support knowledge over ignorance.

First, you have no idea what "Black Liberation Theology" is and what they preach, because you just learned about it recently, and you learned it from right-wing pundits, and you blindly believe everything they say.

Second, you have no basis to assume that Obama believes in "Black Liberation Theology" other than the fact that some right-wing pundits told you, and you blindly believe everything they say.

Third, as I already said:

We have freedom of religion in this country, so all I care about are his political views and actions, not his religious beliefs. As long as he's not a Theocrat like Glen Beck, his religion is irrelevant.

For a Christian, Obama is the most secular president we have ever had.

And why are YOU complaining about someone you think is a Muslim attending a Christian Church? Don't you think he was just trying to study Americans to learn how to overthrow them?

And if you want to talk about dangerous religions- A huge percentage of right-wing Evangelical Christians, including Bush and Palin, believe the "End of Days" will occur within their lifetimes.

Do you want someone who thinks the Apocalypse is coming soon to have their hand on the big red button?

No, that's not Obama's redistribution.

That is what you have been brainwashed to think about Obama, because rich men want you to think that.

And you keep showing everyone here how much of a bleeting sheep you are.

Well i never said they were not a little far out, some guy comes to me and says he found rocks in a feild only he can read im gonna tell him i found the same rocks and i could read them too and they said he had to go kill himself, prove that I am lying! ha ah gotta admit that is my fav south park episode of all time.
