Glenn Beck is a Victim of Discrimination

[Infohawk]

Because he is a Mormon and some Christian evangelicals don't accept him.

A handful of prominent evangelical activists are defending their decision to attend television host Glenn Beck's conservative rally in Washington this weekend after some Christians complained that evangelicals shouldn't be partnering with Beck because of his Mormon faith.

Brannon Howse, a conservative writer and founder of Worldview Weekend, which organizes Christian conferences, criticized evangelical participation in that event in a column this week.

"The Apostle Paul warns Christians against uniting with unbelievers in spiritual endeavors," Howse wrote. "While I applaud and agree with many of Glenn Beck's conservative and constitutional views, that does not give me or any other Bible-believing Christian justification to compromise Biblical truth by spiritually joining Beck."

I'm sure Glenn Beck would agree: freedom of religion gives you the freedom to discriminate. If you're Mormon, the constitution gives you and your religion to fight gays. If you're evangelical Christian, the constitution gives you and your religion the right to fight Mormons. If you're Muslim, your religion sanctions your right to put women in Burkas and fight Jews and Christians.

And don't forget everyone, gold gold gold!!!!

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

Do you think "real" Christians should be prohibited from jointing forces with Glenn "Goldmember" Beck?

 

[CallMeJoe]

Because he is a Mormon...

One too many "m"s.

Lol goldmember good one!

 

[jackschmittusa]

Yeah, a real shame he's not the right kind of Christian.

 

[jackschmittusa]

Actually, I need to add another thought here. Much as it might pain me to say anything that might support the people saying it is not right for their people to attend for religious reasons, it is not any form of discrimination. It is their constitutional right about "freedom of association". Choosing not to associate is not discrimination.

Good call!:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

With that said, I always find it funny to hear evangelical Christians squirm when talking about him. I've never heard beck say something that was against mormon doctrine, yet a good number of evangelicals are convinced he can't be an active mormon because of what he says LOL.

There are mormons, and then there are what evangelicals think mormons are. The two are hardly related.

It is funny because one of his biggest group of supporters are fundamental Christians.

Beck is not a moron, far from it. He's one heck of a marketing genius, selling stupid people the product they want to buy. I bet every night he thanks the lord when counting his money for how many gullible bigots we have in this country.

 

[sportage]

I can not believe the press is giving him/this so much coverage.
Whatever happened to the news media where their job was to give the news, not make it.

Total crap-ola...

Ok, let me rephrase that. What beck SAYS is insane. I can't listen to him for very long before I have to switch news stations, It is like listening to conspiracy radio.

I have never watched his show once, not even 2 seconds of it. I treat him with the same level of contempt I have for tele-evangelists, O'Reilly, that douchebag spin doctor from MSNBC, Limbaugh, etc. They make their living at the expense of decent people of this country by stirring up the hatred of those STUPID FUCKING BIGOT DEEPSHITS from both the left and the right.

They've been running a news 'snippet' this AM of GB working a line of ardent supporters while surrounded by these Secret Service-looking dudes ...

:biggrin:

I don't particularly care for Beck, but the religious biogtry displayed against him is simple astounding!!

 

[IronWing]

Looking at the pics from the rally, I have to agree. Seems that people of almost every race and color are crossing to the other side of the mall to avoid him.

LOL. You didn't think that through did you? Do you think discrimination only means "legally actionable discrimination"? Lets follow through with your reasoning.

[jack logic]
Black people are not allowed in my restaurant because I can associate with whomever I want. I am not discriminating, I am simply choosing my associates.
[/jack logic]

Comon'. These people are discriminating. Nobody is saying it's illegal, but it's still discrimination.

I like Glenn Beck's ability to express his feminine side by being a Drama Queen.

His awesomeness coming from him being able to be whatever he has to be at any moment to sucker stupid people in like the people attending his rally today.

You can discriminate you if reject people. Deciding not to go in no way can be described as discrimination. Hell, I didn't go. Did I discriminate?

It is you who has the problem with thinking.

/jack logic/ I choose not to go to a restaurant because there are black people there, I'm not discriminating. My decision not to go can be in no way described as discrimination. /jack logic/

My, what twisted logic you present. If I choose not to go to a place because YOU are there, am i discriminating against you? There are lots of fools, idiots, and various undesirable people I choose not to associate with. Calling that discrimination likely puts you in one of the aforementioned categories.

If you cannot make a rational argument, give it up.

"If I choose not to go to a place because YOU are there, am i discriminating against you?"

If it's because I'm of a certain religion, than yes you are discriminating.

I knew you would try to move the goal posts though. Remember we are talking about discriminating based on Glenn Beck's religion. Nobody is saying if you don't go because you think he's an idiot than your discriminating.

Much as it might pain me to say anything that might support the people saying it is not right for their people to attend for religious reasons, it is not any form of discrimination.

That is what we're talking about here. Don't try to weasel away from your own idiotic post.
