I agree that Beck is not a sound teacher, but he is not the only one who seeks to encourage hysteria or speaks with an undertone of "hate". Hate is a strong word, and if it is spread via deception and lies then there are many, many media personalities who, because they are woefully misinformed, are culprits of propagating the same culture as Beck. So, if the deception and lies breed hate, then what is the truth that leads to peace? And, remember, if the truth is difficult that doesn't make it a lie. If the only thing we approve as true are the things we like, then we are being led by the subjectivity of our emotions, and how many times have they betrayed us throughout life? There is truth, and even truth hates, but the truth hates with a perfect record because the truth hates evil and all it's characteristics. I must go, but ponder - Glenn Beck is not the truth, neither are our emotions. So, then what is the truth?
Good point Justin! I was just feeling really angry with ol beck that day. I feel sorry for him today. As the great Jim Carrey once said, "If I were you and you were me, I'd use YOUR body to get to the top. YOU can't stop me no matter who you are."
