That was Glenn Beck’s message to all Americans to turn back to GOD? He offended all the Americans at his rally whose GOD is not the Christian GOD Jehovah. There must have been American Buddhist, Muslims, Hindus, etc whose GOD is not Jehovah. Americans whose GOD is Jehovah has not turned away from their GOD.
All this tell me one thing about Glenn Beck’s rally, he don’t know what the message really is and he is talking to and about white Christian America.
We the people were all white. All men created equal were all white.
Go to your Christian hell and take your message with you, Beck.
Beck is a Mormon so I guess it's his GOD
but having watched my share of Omen Movies I can only think of
Glen Beck the Omen Part IV

you so missed what beck was saying. he said to turn back to god, he also said it didnt matter which god you choose to worship. the rally wasnt about black and white, right and left, but right and wrong. it was a rally for EVERYBODY regardless of race or religion, or even a lack of religion. stop the hate long enough to actually LISTEN to what he is saying, dont just hear the words.

Your post reveals just how little arguement you have, your frustration with the alternative media, the true grassroots movement happening in America today. Your post is notable for its LACK of details and point/counter-point debate.

Please, do not ever lose your faith.

I never said you did, go look at all my posts.

"Turning back to God" shoudn't be viewed as negative as many on this board seem to view it.

The OP may have been exaggerating, but Beck's speech is polarizing - between believers and non-believers. Just as you said "he also said it didnt matter which god you choose to worship." This implies "as long as you believe in a god."

You also said he was talking about right and wrong. Belief in god has nothing to do with right and wrong. Belief is simply what you think is true, and you can't just choose your beliefs.

No one died for me, especially not your mythical creatures of old.
There's not one shred of evidence that there's a god.

If there were, I'm sure you'd provide it.

Are you saying that without a god-thing in your life that you would: rape, steal, murder, kidnap and walk around randomly punching babies and it doesn't matter.

Wow, if that's what it takes for you not to commit heinous crimes, please have your fantasy creature in your life.

I don't do those activities and I don't have sky-daddy.
I live in the here and now without committing crimes and I'm atheist.

I learned my morals from my agnostic parents.
You have no proof of a god or afterlife, it's all in your collective heads.
Got anything more than that?

Go back and read my posts and tell me if that's what I said. You missed the point.

That's what moral relativism is, there is no right and wrong other than what you believe to be right and wrong. If there is nothing in the end, no consequences, then it DOESN"T MATTER what we do, right and wrong is in the eyes of the beholder. Do you want me to draw you a picture? BTW, only people WAY out on the fringe believe Jesus was "made up".
