Glenn Beck Urges Listeners to Leave Churches That Preach Social Justice

Why is there an audience for this garbage?

On his daily radio and television shows last week, Fox News personality Glenn Beck set out to convince his audience that "social justice," the term many Christian churches use to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights, is a "code word" for communism and Nazism. Beck urged Christians to discuss the term with their priests and to leave their churches if leaders would not reconsider their emphasis on social justice.

"I'm begging you, your right to religion and freedom to exercise religion and read all of the passages of the Bible as you want to read them and as your church wants to preach them . . . are going to come under the ropes in the next year. If it lasts that long it will be the next year. I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!"

Later, Beck held up cards, one with a hammer and sickle and other with a swastika. "Communists are on the left, and the Nazis are on the right. That's what people say. But they both subscribe to one philosophy, and they flew one banner. . . . But on each banner, read the words, here in America: 'social justice.' They talked about economic justice, rights of the workers, redistribution of wealth, and surprisingly, democracy."

I stopped listening to this guy after he left CNN. He's just gotten way way worse from then.

He is spreading lies but then again he is part of the Latter-day Saints, a denomination not recognized by any other mainstream Christian group. Nor are they invited to any inter-Christian conferences etc.

Same as the one for Jerry Springer. People keep talking about his show and generating some buzz.

I'm sure Beck would thank you for your interest in what he has to say.

Beck needs to grab a King James version of the bible, not a Scientology beamed from out of space equivalent version, and read it.

I urge people to leave ALL churches.

There is an audiance because it is a free country and we can watch what we want (I don't have a TV, which is also a choice)

what makes ME nervous is that liberals do not want people to watch it. I am pro-choice...you?
