Ah, Glenn (Harold Hill) Beck, or as we like to think of him, "The dog poop on the path of life". Seems that his life is the recipe for the power of applied stupidity and ignorance and a testament to the ideal symbolized by the analogy that there is no woman so ugly that there isn't some man out there who will have her. That he can make enough (can't use "earn" when applied to him) to sustain himself is a wonderment in and of itself. That he voluntarily traded his earlier addictions for the cultist addiction of Mormonism, only shows that he is still the same dependant idiot he always was, when at least he was supporting the distillery industry.

Glenn Beck is the diseased head of the diseased snake that has become the ever more doctrinaire and shrinking Republican party. He is the clown we can point at and say to our children, "Look, That is was stupid is, don't ever let yourself be taken in by it, and if you do, don't ever come home again".

Bobbie - You talking about someone else's stupidity. That's a riot. It’s about as funny as a Ken Lay calling Bernie Madoff a crook.

To those really interested in learing more about Beck's faith and his journey to becoming a Mormon, "Is Glenn Beck Mormon?" provides a balanced perspective.

Robert - It is easy and childish to gratuitously call people names. Your comments on Glen had nothing specific to back them up, so they can only be taken at face value, which isn't much. Give me some examples to support your views, and your analysis of them, so that I can believe that they were written by a thinking, intelligent person. I am willing to be persuaded, but not by garbage.

Which church someone attends is of little importance in whether or not that person is saved. It is the personal relationship with Christ that is important. If that is a proper relationship, the shortcomings of any denomination should be overcome and we shouldnt look at ourselves as members of that particular denomination but as true Christians. I am a Christian first, a Baptist, Mormon, Catholic, Nazarene or whatever second.

Clay - All of us Christians need to take that approach and spend time looking for ways to unite rather than divide.

Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology and he mixes this with his personal make up as a dry alcoholic. He does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can't find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by puting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves. The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcholics. He flippantly throws around Christian terms like "God", "Jesus", "Holy Spirit" as well as voices of other so called "Spirit Powers" on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian. Mormonism teaches many gods, that the god of the earth was once a man who attained godhood status, there is no trinity, the cross of Christ means nothing and that Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers. Because Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. The people who love what Beck says are no different than the impressionable sheep who loved every speech made by Adolph Hitler in his early years when he brought Germany into an era of economic prosperity. These same sheep also blindly followed Hitler into one of the darkest chapters of world history. Beck and the Fox Network both cater to the same lowest common denominator of demagogery. Beck man would not know the first thing about God as he is a mormon. Someone should ask him which of the many mormon gods he kept talking about during his argument with himself on Saturday on the square in DC. Like a typical dry alcoholic, Beck even lied on national television when he spoke about holding a document signed by George Washington. That event never took Place Unfortunately, people who love being led around by the nose do not realize that he is talking about a different god than that of Christianity, Judaism or Islam and that he has been a product of mormonism cultism from the day he started doing a radio talk show as an opinion pusher.

Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology and he mixes this with his personal make up as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. As someone with a graduate degree in religion, I can say with all qualifications that Mormonism fits all parameters of a cult and has none of the parameters of a religion. A cult is any group (regardless of its size) that interprets the doctrines of a religion in an unorthodox fashion. The problem here is the fact the most Christians do not understand the difference and they easily fall for the lies of Mormon missionaries when they come to one's door. On Beck's radio show and Fox Network program he consistent demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. Alongside that reality, Glenn Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can't find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by putting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves. The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. To further complicate things and confuse people, Beck flippantly throws around Christian terms like "God", "Jesus","Holy Spirit" as well as voices of other so called "Spirit Powers" on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian.

You don't have to have a degree in psychology to see that he exhibits all the signs of a dry alcoholic. The only reason this unstable impressionable idiot fell into mormonism was because the woman he wanted to have sex with would not do so unless they got first got married and from that point, they joined the mormon cult. Glenn Beck is as big a charlatan as Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate (Charles T Russell) who started the Jehovah's Witness cult. This is Glenn Beck in a very accurate and concise nutshell. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. It will not surprise many of us when Beck’s next big thing is to come out of the closet and announce his homosexuality to the nation. Simply put…he is just another predatory neocon who is pushing the buttons of very ignorant & impressionable people who love being told what to think and believe. We live in a period of history where it has become very socially acceptable to be stupid and follow extremist idiots like Glenn Beck, Adolph Hitler, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Chicanery and lies are their middle names.

Ridley as someone with a graduate degree in religion I would have thought you'd be more familiar with the teachings of Christ. Christ teaching on loving your enemies comes to mind. Your lengthy diatribe against Beck, Fox and others seems to be lacking ant semblance of true Christian love. You also seem to be willing to mix politics and religion always a volatile combination. You overstate Beck’s following and his importance. That said I don’t see where using the same mixing of religion and politics makes your message any better than his.

Hey Anonymous... Your point regarding the teachings of Christ really has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make. Ridley is right on with every point he made. Beck and his ilk have nothing to do with the love of the real Christ and history is full of people like this who have made efforts to pervert Christianity with false teachings. The apostles even had to deal with this during the formation of the New Testament Church. If you want to talk about the love of Christ that is all good and well but you are way off base acting like my exposure of Beck & Mormonism is somehow the opposite of the love of Christ. Also, you totally missed the point here as Beck is an idiot who mixes cherry picked elements of Catholicism with Mormon cult teachings. Mormonism and the love or teachings of the real Jesus Christ of Christianity have nothing in common. You really should do some solid study of things and then you might understand the difference between a religion and a cult. The Christ of Mormonism is also the brother of Satan, their father was a man who attained god-hood status, and there is no trinity. I could go on and on exposing the reasons why Mormonism is a cult and not a religion but I doubt that you will understand the truth until you open your eyes and become honest with yourself. Christ had a lot to say about those who have “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” but you are not one of them as long as you practice political correctness. Nothing about what I said was a diatribe. It was all pure fact as I know what I'm talking about from my formal academic training. You are most likely one of those people whose life bows to political correctness as opposed to the truth of God. If you don't believe that the dry alcoholic Beck mixes his cult beliefs with his twisted Marxist / Libertarian views , then I'd like to sell you some beautiful ocean front property about 35 miles south of Phoenix, Arizona. Let’s not confuse the love of Christ with the willingness to speak the truth about those who pervert the Christian religion and deceive those whose minds are impressionable and spiritually immature.

Johnny America no they are not. If Ridley were simply pointing out the flaws in Beck's views you would have a valid point. However, when one resorts to ridicule and personal attacks it is in violation to Christ's teachings. If you want to point out what is wrong with Beck or Mormonsim there would be nothing wrong. Calling someone an idiot, however, isn’t following Christ teaching on love. Go back and read in the Gospels Christ preached a message of turning the other cheek, treating others as you wish to be treated and loving your enemies. You mistake my pointing out those things as either agreeing with beck or bowing to political correctness. Neither is true. In fact following the teaching of Christ is hardly politically correct these days. Let us also not confuse making ones own personal political and religious view as truth. There is only one truth and that comes from God and not man.

People need to wake up the fact that Glenn Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with parts of Catholicism and his personal core as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same as one is a cult and the other is a religion. This makes Glenn Beck one very twisted screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. The religion of Islam has more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.

The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. Because he does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, this makes him the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. Considering the fact that Beck’s personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. In retrospect, I would have to refuse one of his free blow jobs!

Glenn Beck consistently demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD, indecisiveness and blindness to truth. In short, Beck, Limbaugh, O Reilly, Hannity, Palin, O Donnell, Coulter and others like them frequently pervert truth, history, facts, religion and the US Constitution when they open their big mouths. Beck is simply part of a national league of pseudo-conservative idiots who make big money by selling lies and half truths to impressionable fools that occupy the lowest levels of society. Basically…tea baggers and registered republicans who are condemned to repeat the mistakes of history.
