Maybe I need Meds, but I'm seriously starting to believe that Glenn Beck is the Anti-Christ. And that's coming from a staunch agnostic! Here's why...
You may recall a few posts back, I posted my latest attack on organized religion essentially asking why we should believe lies when they lead to the deaths of children. OK... to put it more reasonably, I attributed evil to the church, and denied them credit for the [little] good they did.
Now... What amazes me is that is you listen to this clip from Glenn Beck, I'm struck by the fact that this is trying to do away with the ONLY GOOD the church has EVER DONE! Seriously. I'll concede that Religion has done some good (still not convinced it couldn't have happened without all the bullshit that comes with religion, but whatever) but pretty much any good that religion does, including all of it's charitable works, would fall under "social justice." Feed and clothe the homeless, help the poor, etc...
This guy, OTOH, think church should instead EMBRACE only the racism, exclusion, judgement, prejudice, inequality, etc... That even many religious people will admit is problematic!
So here's another "open question" to those who might defend religion: If you do as Beck suggests, and eliminate all that "social justice," is there ANY redeeming quality left? Should we really allow an institution to exist that makes people superstitious AND evil? Seriously? I'd love to hear HIS answer on that!
BTW - I think it should be obvious but... I'm not calling for the elimination of the CHURCH. Just for people to WAKE THE FUCK UP about Glenn Beck. He's dangerous. And he's the one who should really be on meds.
