Glenn Beck vs. Christ the Liberator

Catholic priest and author of 'The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything'

After his colossal "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington, D.C., Glenn Beck took aim at one of his favorite targets, Barack Obama, but in a novel way. Beck regrets saying a few months ago that President Obama was a "racist." What he should have said, he now realizes, was that he didn't agree with Obama's "theology." And what is Obama's theology, according to Beck? Liberation theology.

Here's Beck's definition of the arcane area of study known as liberation theology:

I think that it is much more of a theological question that he is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is oppressor and victim....That is a direct opposite of what the gospel is talking about...It's Marxism disguised as religion

As Ronald Reagan used to say, "There you go again." A few months ago, Beck decided to demolish the idea of "social justice," by telling Christians that if their priests, pastors or ministers use that buzz word on Sundays they should leave their churches. As he may or may not have known, the tenets of "social justice" encourage one not only to help the poor, but also address the conditions that keep them poor. He called that "communist."

1. Glenn Beck refudiates Jesus' brand of Christianity, calls Jesus a communist

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

2. Yeah, right.

We'll see if Glenn wants to bring that up when he has his face to face meeting with Me at the Pearly Gates immigration office. :rofl:

3. Glenn Beck is the type of person who would, upon being complimented

on his blue shirt, would "correct you" in saying it was turquoise. And a second later, he probably would deny that he corrected you ... despite the fact that you played back the tape from not more than a minute before ...
