Glenn Beck had his crazy train running wide open a week ago when he again urged Christians to abandon their churches and follow him. Beck usually dresses up for his audience in costumes ranging from Bavarian Border Guard uniforms to Lederhosen. I expected him to deliver his “leave Christianity” message dressed in black. It played well with Beck listeners when he told them that Jesus did not believe in touchy-feely ideas of social justice. Beck’s message is that as Christians, we should abandon our commitment to shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, and heal the sick. I’m certain Beck knows his way around Mein Kampf much better than he does the New Testament so it is no surprise that he is urging his followers to abandon the kind of Christianity that embraces social justice. Beck is seeing great results in motivating his followers.
