        Actually, I'm more of the idea that Jesus would overturn Beck's table and tell him to get out of the temple.

            I recall that once (at least) it was calculated what speed Santa would have to travel at to cover the entire world in one night. It was well over the speed of sound.

            Also, anyone who's seen Spaced Invaders should recall Deputy Russel Pillbury's Speed Trap, and what happened when the Martians arrived!

      No one is trying to destroy Christmas. Christmas is not even an important religious holiday. In spite of it's origins (in Christianity, not the pagan origins) I'd say it's primarily a secular holiday. It wasn't until retailers figured out they could sell a lot of merchandise by pushing Christmas that it became a big holiday. Easter is the important Christian holiday.

        Shags, most Christians aren't aware of that.

        The rising from the dead seperates the Christians from the rest.

        For some Christians. Many Christians don't celebrate either in their churches. Both have their roots in paganism.

            Yes. I agree. Both Easter and Christianity in general have roots in paganism. But then what is paganism other than a religion you don't believe in?

      Glennie, After listening to this crazy rant, I am starting to believe that the only spirits you are in touch with are those coming out of a bottle.
      This speech you just gave is something you would hear in an asylum by some guy walking up and down the hallway.
      But your followers believe you. YOU are the one that is'inside' the church you call RadioTalk. But your voice carries nothing but lies and disconnected thoughts the type that are usually 'spirited' from a swig of the bottle.

      Glenn, I officially feel sorry for you. You do need help and Roger Ailes and Murdock aren't going to give it to you. They will toss you into the gutter. So save your hard earned money for your future. No one will ever respect you so you must take solace in your pile of cash.

      Mr. Beck, you are a liar and a fraud.

      Members of the independent churches of Christ [of which Charlton Heston, Kenneth Starr, Pat Boone, Fred Thompson and more were/are members] do not believe in celebrating Christmas or Easter in their churches. It isn't Biblical. Is Fred Thompson a Marxist??? How about Kenneth Starr and Pat Boone?? Charlton Heston . . . REALLY, I didn't know.

        Well following Beck's logic that Marxist and Fascist are logically equivalent then I'd say Yes. They are all Marxists. ;)

      Let me get this straight Mr. Beck.

      Christians in churches are trying to destroy Christmas?

      Yeah, OK. Don't you see the contradictions in your own arguments? Probably not, but it's worth pointing it out anyway.

      I feel very sorry for this woman. She is profounding affected by what he has said, she may even leave her church over this, and she doesn't even understand what she is doing. I wonder why the Pastor wouldn't discuss the websites with her? How has she approached this? This is a very disturbing phone call.

      Well, speaking as one of those progressives that want in God we trust off our money and under God out of the pledge of allegiance I am uncomfortable with conservatives like Beck making this some kind of religious war. If God is really in his side and only his side only then we're all doomed. Why can't I just have a different point of view and not a some kind of spiritual monster out to destroy your religion. Hell, I can care less what you believe or what you do on December 25th. If your religion consists of dancing naked around a tree with a goat's head on as long as it doesn't wake me up too early I could give a flying.........but I do have a problem when the government suggests we believe in a deity. That's not the government's business. Oh, BTW progressives and socialists/communists have done alot of good in this country. It was the Communist Workers Party who fought for equal rights when "conservatives" thought I was inferior.

      Beck "I want spiritual giants around me"

      An admission that he has spiritual idiots around him.

      Spiritual giants would only hang around you, Glenn, because they are tolerant--not because they concur with what you say and what you are.

      Glenn? You're kind of veering into "The call is coming from inside the house..." territory, here. You've become a cheap amusement park horror show, the kind that only little kids can even believe in. You take a, what? 42 jacket, right? And extra extra long sleeves? We'll be right over.
