Get informed. Read up on Bishop Warren Snow, of Manti Utah, what he did & why & his punishment?This is the cohesive force of mormons.

Well given the two options I would say neither, first of all Mormons don't "get volunteered" it is purely by choice, there is no consequence for not volunteering. Second, Mormons do not promote socialism, they promote charity. They have never, nor will ever, make someone pay up for charity. Tithing is NOT an obligation, it is an act of faith... if one does it or not, it is their choice. Thirdly if all this author can do is talk about Glenn Beck's religion and not about the context of what he actually said and what it actually meant then this article was not well thought out... now was it? All I see is a phrase that is completely taken out of context and its meaning is twisted... in my opinion this author is no better than the stupid hypocrite he accused Mr. Beck of being. Assuming that all he cares about is ratings and a paycheck just makes this author out to sound like an ass. What about all his other talks? Why would people listen to him? Why are his listeners growing? Maybe this author should find out instead of blindly trowing punches in the dark. All I see in this article are opinions and assumptions in this article. Seriously... I mean what kind of person who wants to criticize someone writes an entire article about a phrase that is totally taken out of context. Instead of concluding that this author is an idiot... I will let anyone who reads this decide for him/her self. Perhaps that is what this author should have done.

Amen anonymous, here is the REST OF HIS WORDS which the author so conveniently left out....
"Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes, if I'm going, if I'm going to Jeremiah Wright's church, he said, referring to President Obama's former pastor in Chicago. If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Notice, notice, leave your parish, not your church"

Wonder why you felt the need to leave that part out?

anon@20:57 - Mr. Beck's audience is growing because of the ignorance of the American people. They are an uneducated lot who only listen to or read headlines. The bolder the print, the louder the shout the more they are suckered in. Mr. Beck never really explains any facts behind his rants. He simply rants. This simplicity is perfect for the American eleven year old mentality. Beck's use of the word "social" to instill fear in Americans is simply to imply that any phrase or title that incorporates that word is promoting socialism. If you told Mr. Beck that someone had good social skills he'd accuse them of being a socialist. When he's talking to stupid people he has to say stupid things. The education system in America is at its lowest ever. Filth like Mr. Beck are taking advantage of this, and yes it is for a paycheck. That being said, I'm sure some of the new viewers he has are there for entertainment only. Olbermann and Maddow are his greatest publicity agents. They should stop mentioning his name and driving people to watch his cartoon show.

Also---and I know someone, a couple of or several people will probably argue with this and/or supposedly "prove" me wrong---the fact(s) should be pointed out that the Mormon Church, aka "Church of 'Jesus Christ' of Latter Day Saints" (LDS Church for short) is one of the worst, most evil, though apparently "righteous" and "beneficent", cults and counterfeit "Christian" churches on the entire planet, second only to the Roman Catholic Church, and followed by the Jehovah's Witness church. They were created by the Roman Catholic Jesuits and Freemasonry (the latter as well as the Jehovah's Witnesses also created by the Jesuits), which explains the use of Satanic Illuminati, Jesuit and Freemason occult symbols on and in their most prominent, non-public churches; and the Jesuits are the equivalent of Rome's "CIA" that infiltrates, subverts and/or influences all governments, educational systems, religious denominations and/or organizations, churches, religious and/or secular social organizations, "secret societies", human rights and civil liberties organizations, other "not-for-profit" and/or "non-governmental" institutions, etcetera...

They not only bring Bibles, if they bring Bibles at all, to "disaster relief" zones. They bring one or more of "The Books of Mormon", a three volume set of books written in "Old English" like the King James Version of the Bible, which "add to (and) take away from" the Word(s) of God, the Bible, in violation of God's Word(s) in the book of Revelation, the very last book in the New Testament of the Bible.

Their "Books of Mormon" contradict the Bible over and over and over again with all kinds of false interpretations, (mis)representations and outright lies that have nothing whatsoever to truly do with God's Word(s), the Bible; though the Mormons of course fraudulently claim that they do. They also claim that the Books of Mormon supposedly add new and/or additional "Light" to the God's Word(s), the Bible; though the only "light" they "add" to the Bible are nothing but falsehood and fraud mixed with some reiteration of the Bible...

(Okay, now every time I try to post my latest comment, I am redirected to a blank page with no error message; so, what are you doing now, further unconstitutionally and illegally limiting, or ending, my free speech and/or free expression of religion here in violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article One of the U.S. Bill of Rights?)

"It is written, thus says the Lord [God in Jesus the Christ, the Word(s) of God, and the Maker / Creator all things except evil]...":

Beck and the like are not funny and there should
be no more time wasted trying to analyze them
just as in 1932 Germany and the world should long since have abandoned analyzing
Hitler and Goebbels, by then they should have been fighting them tooth and nail.

I don't watch Beck much, so I don't have the misfortune of feeling angry about him - a sentiment I would experience with growing intensity the more regularly I would watch his show. After all, he has a market that includes 2 groups of nightly watchers. Those watching the FOX media, hating what he says, and therefore, getting at angry and about what he reflects in the United States today. The other group, liking what he says, and therefore, getting angry about the things he say they should angry about. Either way, it's no fun.

With detachment, holding myself far from sickenss that comes creeping when you know you watched too long, I can only say that Gleck Beck is a msshoganah.

American television watching is in the age of meshoganahs. Those who can get together a good enough meshoganah act will get high ratings, often from views that are mad about them, or conversely, mad with them.

To hell with all demagogues!

"I know a thing or two...."
Mr. Cory harshly criticism on someone's paying Tithing is appalling. This is very private and sacred, and true christians should not be criticizing at their fellowbeings' donations.
Obama chose to change his parish/church, and I think Mr. Beck' comments was indirectly referring to Obama's resignation from the Trinity Unitarian Church of Christ. It is debatable whether his decision was based on political convenience, but I in my opinion he was greatly influenced by the public's outcry of Jeremiah Wright's views of social justice.
Not to defend Mr. Beck, I find his outbursts amusing, but is a fact that lots of people change their faiths on a pastor or new pastor's preachings and they are not longer aligned with their beliefs.
Just to clear up on this article, Mr. Cory is not well informed on the purpose of Tihing. In addition to Tithing, mormons donate the proceeds of their fastings to help the poor, this is called fast offerings. The mormons welfare system come from these funds. They are diffrent donations...and sacred.

Glenn Beck, that wretched hysteric, is in dire need of professional help, but those who listen to him and believe what he says should have priority in getting treatment. Two-thirds of the American public are fat, dumb, and unhappy, but they are too ignorant to do anything but listen to idiots like Beck, instead of doing the necessary work to find out what is going on and why. Remember too that between 25 and 30 percent of American adults are functionally illiterate. I expect that it's going to take hitting rock-bottom before there is any productive change in the U.S.

No ... that's MORON, not Mormon.

Methinks you made a typo? Perhaps you meant to write moron, not mormon.

I'd never trust a Mormon. My Dad was a Congregational minister, & one day when he was out, Mormon missionaries came knocking. My mother, ever the polite & graceful person she was, invited then in for tea & conversation. When they found out my Dad was a minister, they rubbed their hands with glee and kept coming back, thinking they could convert my mother & break up our family, and telling her that according to the Mormon bible, 'All other religions are an abomination in the sight of God'. They only stopped when my Dad threw them out. I have no use for Mormons... or Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck i a glorified shock jock. The only difference between him and Howard Stern is that he focuses on politics instead of on naked women. And just like with Stern, it is the people who hate him who are giving him the strongest ratings, and hence, keeping him on the air.

Anonymous 20:57 - The way you describe this article is exactly the way Glen Beck's broadcasts sound to me. Strange that you never noticed that.

"Blessed are the poor....
for they shall inherit the earth"

Jesus preached the "social justice mantra" ... that's why religious organizations "have swallowed" it "hook, line and sinker". It's also why TPTB killed him.

I don't see Mr. Beck as a "shock jock" so much as a "Shock trooper" hand-selected by Roger Ailes and the rest of the FoxOberReich to ensure a ready and willing group of thugs--like the ones who assaulted members of Congress yesterday by calling them "nigger" and "faggot", or the ones who wish to make the murderers in private airplanes out to be martyrs like the Nazis who mythologized a street pimp who died fighting Communists. He's made his bed and now must lie in it.

OMG!!! The Mormon church is a communist entity!
And where are your editors? ''Glen Beck is a Mormon.'' How did you miss that extra ''m''?

Becky seems to have left the realm of humanity. Didn't Christ say to treat your neighbor like thyself? I thought Christianity was the religion of love and humanity, where a man sacrificed himself for his fellow humans and stood his ground against the socio-economic-political injustice of the Roman Empire. Becky, where did you go to school and what DID you study?

He's like a fake wrestler. He's sincere and showy at the same time, but fake. Hi Glenn!

Re: To hell with all demagogues...
I say:"Right Arm...I mean, Right On!"
Look...it's plain to see if you don't follow the sleight of hand...get people afraid of this or that - it really doesn't matter much what... And they won't notice what you're doing with the other hand: giving tax breaks to the rich, fighting wars for oil, letting banks go postal on the economy etc. Etc.... And we're all the suckers... We're all the rubes...even the tea baggers...especially the tea baggers, unless WE stop buying the shill...
Glenn Beck is like a fart...stinky and rude...just air out the room and move on.

To all those having trouble with the SPAM filter truthout is using, I have discovered some things that will help. First, having a URL in your post will sometimes trip the filter, and having more than one is more likely to trip it. Second, if your posting is too long, it's more likely to be rejected. The message will say it appears to be a duplicate, but I found if I reduce it to under 1500 characters, it will usually go through. If anyone else has tips please post them. And Truthout should publish these tips someplace, if possible in the error message from the spam filter.

I am a non-Mormon who has attended a Mormon church regularly for the last year. They do indeed hate other religions and openly ridicule them. I have quit attending their services because the Sunday school teacher began publicly threatening my soul to eternal damnation in Hell if I did not join the church! As to tithing, it is used for the construction of Mormon temples, not for charity. And regarding Glenn Beck, if there were not a hundred other reasons not to join the Mormon church, the fact that he is a member would be reason enough.
