I'm tired of Glenn Beck.
If he was just worried about property and money for their own sake, that would be one thing. I can respect someone who says, "I'm a materialist. And a system that let's me get mine is a just system. Screw everybody else." Hey, that guy might be an asshole, but at least he's honest.
But now Glenn Beck is trying to bring Jesus into it. He's warning that churches that talk about "social justice" are bad. He wants us to remember that Jesus was big on us fighting for property. Jesus said that we should turn our hearts away from the Earth and put them in Heaven... okay so maybe Jesus wasn't so big on fighting for earthly property.
I'm sick of Beck and his ilk trying to pervert Jesus to their side.
Supposedly life is precious. That's why we can blow the living hell out someone in a war to protect our way of life, but not abort a pregnancy. Life is more important than money I am told.
As the story goes, the Christians' Lord and Savior showed that no government can take your life away.
If no one can take away the most important thing to you, then what can they take away that matters?
