Beck: Progressives, like Satan, are supplanting God and taking away choice

From the January 12 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

Comparisons:
Fat people complaining about the taste of the dinner AND the small portions.
Calling the same person "Hitler" and "Stalin", "Lenin" and "Mussolini".
That's just it - they're incapable of thinking.
I don't believe in your god.

You can take Beck's every religious pronouncement with a pillar of salt.
The only "choice" the NeoCons offer is you're either with them or against them.
The institution of marriage and its benefits are for your children to have a healthy environment, as well as allowing the parents to provide better with the tax breaks. Try thinking about someone other then yourself, it's very rewarding.
Bush was a progressive. That's why the guns were taken away. Don't think republican=conservative and democrat=liberal. There are both conservative democrats and liberal republicans.
And you're a spineless idiot who hides behind an alias.
Spending money on kids and supporting kids are 2 different things. It is not as whimsical as you make it sound.
How is taking from others to enrich yourself unselfish? I'd really like to hear your reasoning on this.
I wouldn't mind picking up even more of the slack for adopters, who are taking on a responsibility that they didn't create themselves.
I just don't have much patience for those who decide they want to have kids, reach into my pocket to support their kids, then tell me how unselfish they are while letting me pay for their choice.
Yes neon, kids with gay parents are in an unnatural, unhealthy environment.
With the way you call parents "reproducers" makes me wonder if I'm talking to a robot. Do you have even the smallest shred of humanity or is your soul completely black? And to correct you about people's "choices", having kids is natural. Not having kids is a "choice".
And if you're wary about people dipping into your pockets, that's a whole other issue all-together. The tax credits from married couples are not even the tip of the iceberg on that.
Why shouldn't gays experience the same "benefits" that straight married couples get with the ones they love?
Do you have any studies that prove that children raised by legally married gay couples turn out horribly?
That's your studies and evidence? Not very compelling to me, but then again, I'm used to data garnered from reality. Thanks for all your effort, though.
The institution of marriage and its benefits are for... allowing the parents to provide better with the tax breaks (unknown)
You should read your own posts.
You do understand that when one person gets a break, somebody else has to make up the difference... don't you ?
TRy to get caught up, and I may check back later to see if I can help you get cleared up on some of the other stuff.
Oh, and a free tip, it's really inviting responses when somebody as clueless as you throws in "duh" and other insults at people who are not as ignorant as you.
Have fun, and once again, I'm more than happy as an American taxpayer, to support your selfish decisions. Just try to show a little gratitude, moran.
Now, excuse me while I go out and fail so I can get closer to God. Thank you for being there, Glenn.
BTW, are the New England Patriots closer to God this week...? How about Philly and Green Bay?

Support the War. Raise taxes!
Hahaha Col. I'am a Giants fan surrounded by fair weather Charger fans. Fans so long as their winning...pity me. hehe!
No other Saints fans?
Let's give them what they want, we'll put god back into the public sector, as they wish, however the one stipulation is we call this god Mohammed.
Still cool?

This must go back to how the progressives started the whole "separation of church and state" thing and not Thomas Jefferson. All those years ago, the nasty progressives locked away God's power.
According to the Bible:
So really, God never intended man to have "eternal life"... at least according to the Bible.
That quote is the most ignored in the history of Christianity...
Adam and Eve were set-up. Their god offered them a deal that was bogus.In order to have the knowledge of good evil they would have to first have to eat the fruit. This is a paradox. They have no why to evaluate the consequences of eating the fruit because, according to the legend, the fruit must be eaten to gain the knowledge. Their god was asking them to do something for which he never equipped them.
So Satan gets the rap and god looks like a nice guy because he gave them a choice.
In essence, God is punishing mankind for disobedience, even though they did not have knowledge of Right and Wrong until after they disobeyed him. Once they knew that disobeying God was wrong, it was too late. It's like sentencing a toddler to life in prison for eating a cookie you placed in front of him.
It was just a clumsy attempt by the mythmakers to explain the existence of evil in a world under God's control.
And to warn us to keep them wimmens in check!
We're an evil lot, fer shure.......;-)
But really, you two are peachy keen. Thanks for the luv.....and back at ya.
Depends.
Of course, the Bible isn't meant to be taken literally. No great books ever are.
What...are you serious? Don't tell me that, man...
<sarcasm>
Something written down after maybe a thousand years of oral tradition, altered, translated & etc by many folks; it's amazing how much good stuff still survives in there (& not surprising how much rotten stuff got inserted!)
Hand me the holy hand grenade....
I was raised Catholic.
I wasn't trying to pretend I was Jewish, I was just offering an alternative interpretation of the Adam and Eve story.
Was that bad? I'm not sure why people are thumbs-downing me.
Mary, if you were "just offering an alternative interpretation" then why state "Jews believe that..." when in actuality it was your own interpretation? When you wrote "Jews believe that...", you were presumed to be stating a fact, a Jewish one. And it was not. Your "Was it bad?" query can only be answered in the affirmative. And it was more than naive. Then you go on to state, "I was just offering an alternative interpretation of the Adam and Eve story.", as a defense. Wouldn't it have been proper for you to initially state, you [Mary] believe that...? Also, I never stated you were trying to be or pretending to be Jewish.
Oh, I know the Founding Fathers used a lot of flowery language and lofty rhetoric about "God-given rights", but those rights don't mean squat if the government or person(s) in power don't recognize them.
The right to life and liberty are pretty worthless to the man laying face down in a rice paddy with a plastic bag over his head.
It's a simple, ugly fact of human history.
Obviously, Beck has has some issues with personal failings and a late conversion to Mormonism that makes it difficult to relate his "theology" to more mainstream deists or Christians. Going off on a theological tangent like this makes him seem a liitle odd.
Also, Beck claims that God will provide the failure and failure is inevitable, then claims that progressives are taking away God, which Beck points as proof that we are starting to fail, but if God planned all this, then really Beck is fighting against God's will...

I guess Brigham Young was a Progressive. Who knew?
There it is, folks... the Frankenstein marriage of Country Club Republican Social Darwinism and Troglodyte Nutbag Evangelism.
When it comes to limiting freedom in America, gov't is MINOR LEAGUE next to the CHURCH - ANY church. And when they are successful, it is when they are doing the church's bidding!
Religion can only further limit the "amount of stuff you can do." (Another way of saying "FREEDOM") and it only evers ADDS prohibitions and taboo's. (IOW - fruther encroaches on you FREEDOM.)

To say othewise is to reveal either your ignoracne or your zealotry. And NEITHER is an AMERICAN value.
I can only take about a 1:14 of that crap! The woman who called his show was just as lost as Becky is! I really feel bad for people who's brain is just as dense as his and believe his views. I have no other comeback to that loony bin conversation.
SMH!
