I caught the Glenn Beck Christmas show last night. I’ve got to admit that it was surprisingly good.
I missed the very beginning because traffic sucked, but caught most of the first portion, where Glenn told family Christmas stories. Which was actually really funny. The next portion was more of a spiritual Christmas message, that ended with a positive message about redemption. Then there was a bonus third part for the Salt Lake audience, where after giving everyone a warning that it was going to be about Glenn’s conversion to Mormonism, and that if they wanted to run, now was their chance, he told the story of how he found his faith.
Overall I enjoyed the show quite a bit. I hadn’t known what to expect, and it was drastically different than his radio show. As a Mormon, it was nice to see a public display of Mormonism from somebody famous who wasn’t afraid to express his feelings about his religion.
On that note, as much as I despise Mitt RHINO Romney, I’m getting really sick and tired of having my religion get mocked by a bunch of idiotic pundits. If I have to listen to one my liberal media elitist (who would have no problem sacrificing babies to Bhaal if it got them higher ratings) ponder about whether Mormons are Christians or not, I’m going to blow a gasket.
Joseph Smith. Sorry.
I’ve always sort of wondered about the “Mormons aren’t Christians” thing. I’m not LDS and never have been, but it seems to me that if you believe Christ is the son of God, you’re pretty much a Christian by definition. Everything else is just dogma.
Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God. Sorry you don’t like that.
I get angry at any religious exclusionism or bigotry. And at least Romney is being up front about being pro-2A NOW.
Mad Ogre, I never said I didn’t like that. He was a brilliant leader of the group that chose to follow him. Those who chose to follow him then, and continue to follow today, will be blessed in their walk to God. As will all who truly seek a loving God, regardless of denomination.
