Glenn Beck calls for unity between Christian conservatives, Mormons

(CBS News) At the Faith and Freedom Conference, a gathering of religious conservatives in Washington, D.C., media personality Glenn Beck attempted on Friday to displace fears that Christian conservatives might have about supporting a Mormon for president.

Beck, who is a member of the LDS church, did not specifically mention presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, but said it is absurd that "we can't stand together because you don't go to my church and I don't go to your church."

Evangelical Christians have had reservations about Romney's faith and his wobbly policies on abortion. Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council recently discussed his tepid support of Romney, telling Hotsheet, "I've got to feel comfortable with him."

Beck said Christians must put their differences aside and unite "on the things we can unite on."

However, Beck, who just signed a 5-year, $100 million contract for his radio program, added that Christians "can't be against something. I am not against Barack Obama," Beck said, adding that they need to be "for something much, much bigger."

Beck continued, talking about the "coming insurrection," which he said is evident in the Occupy Wall Street movement and the protests in Greece. He criticized those movements as being about "get 'em", getting the "rich people," or whoever the latest target is, Beck said.

He concluded his speech with tears as he talked about the "gray period" the country is in and the need to "give your children opportunity" just as his mother "was a force for good despite the odds."

OMG, is he pulling out the crocodile tears AGAIN?

[audemus]

Every time I think of Beck, for some reason I think of rats.

[Lindag20]

Did he use his chalkboard to convince everyone that they should trust him and whatever he says? More of the conservative "anyone but Obama" nonsense. They'd vote for a dog if the dog was on the ballot against Obama.

Sure, I'll go for anythng Glenn Beck endorses. Sorry, I couldn't say that without laughing.

What does the Book of Mormon teach?
This passage of scripture is so beautiful, I would like to share it.

Moroni Chapter 7 verses 42-48

...and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

With all this talk of hate, I thought a little love would be in order. Hope we can all soften our hearts some and be granted a portion of the pure love of Christ.
Regards
Paul Brown

This wacko Mormon Robmee will make Bushoccio seem like a non-religious sane person. Get ready for the Crusades when he gets bought in by Wall Street.

Behold, the Prophet Brigham Young:

Discourse By President Brigham Young

Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 10:, p.250

"What is the cause of all this waste of life and treasure? To tell it in a plain, truthful way, one portion of the country wish to raise their n3/grows or black slaves, and the other portion wish to free them, and, apparently, to almost worship them. Well, raise and worship them, who cares? I should never fight one moment about it, for the cause of human improvement is not in the least advanced by the dreadful war which now convulses our unhappy country.

Ham (African Americans) will continue to be the servant of servants, as the Lord has decreed, until the curse is removed. Will the present struggle free the slave? No; but they are now wasting away the black race by thousands.

Ham (African Americans) must be the servant of servants until the curse is removed. Can you destroy the decrees of the Almighty (Jesus)? You cannot. Yet our Christian brethren think that they are going to overthrow the sentence (slavery) of the Almighty upon the seed of Ham (African Americans). They cannot do that, though they may kill them by thousands and tens of thousands."

Nope, Mormons are clearly NOT insane, not at all, nope, not a chance, never; listen, don't worry about it, the Mormon Jesus made them do it.

Crazy Quotes from Mormon Leadership:

"I wish to explain something that will help you understand your young manhood and help you develop self-control. When this power begins to form, it might be likened to having a little factory in your body, one designed to produce the product that can generate life.

This little factory moves quietly into operation as a normal and expected pattern of growth and begins to produce the lifegiving substance. It will do so perhaps as long as you live. It works very slowly. That is the way it should be. For the most part, unless you tamper with it, you will hardly be aware that it is working at all.

As you move closer to manhood, this little factory will sometimes produce an oversupply of this substance. The Lord has provided a way for that to be released. It will happen without any help or without any resistance from you. Perhaps, one night you will have a dream. In the course of it the release valve that controls the factory will open and release all that is excess.

The factory and automatic release work on their own schedule. The Lord intended it to be that way. It is to regulate itself. This will not happen very often. You may go a longer period of time, and there will be no need for this to occur. When it does, you should not feel guilty. It is the nature of young manhood and is part of becoming a man.

There is; however, something you should not do. Sometimes a young man does not understand. Perhaps he is encouraged by unwise or unworthy companions to tamper with that factory. He might fondle himself and open that release valve. This you shouldn't do, for if you do that, the little factory will speed up. You will then be tempted again and again to release it. You can quickly be subjected to a habit, one that is not worthy, one that will leave you feeling depressed and feeling guilty. Resist that temptation. Do not be guilty of tampering or playing with this sacred power of creation. Keep it in reserve for the time when it can be righteously employed."

Sarah, It's too bad you feel this hate. Perhaps you are conflicted in life. No Mormons are not insane. They tend to be good people who get tired of putting up with lies, hate, bigotry and insults to things they hold sacred. If these things are upsetting, maybe you need to get a better handle on things and quit reading these stories and comments.

No, I'd say its more than insanity, lets take a look:

The source of Mormon leadership's delusional insanity, and their historical hatred of African Americans and Native Americans, and their current dislike of the LGBT community:

"Mormons sort of have an extra chromosome when it comes to American exceptionalism,"

Senator Mike Lee Utah-R (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/232337-sen-mike-lee-mormons-have-added-dose-of-a-belief-in-america)

Extra chromosome = Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21

They can't help it people, they just need to be fenced off into a corner and kept there where they can procreate and fight all they want. I guarantee that after about 3-4 years they will have self-cannibalized, this is pretty easy, just send them all to Utah. In fact, I think someone should start and organization that helps people release themselves from Mormonism, like a recovery clinic where they can have that extra chromosome removed; and they lived happily ever after. Amen.
