kathleen – I appreciate your desire for accuracy but I am a little more careful with the word cult than you and ask that you not refer to Catholicism as a cult. Catholics believe the same things about the essence of Christ (who He was and is, the relation to the Father and Holy Spirit), whereas the LDS church has a different view of the origins and essence of Christ. I don’t even like to refer to LDS as a cult because coercion and several other mind control efforts are needed to be considered a cult – at least in the way I understand the term.

Conservatives certainly didn’t question Beck’s religion much back when he was opposing Obama and the health care bill…or when he pushed conservative candidates for the November 2010 elections.
If you are going to have a debate…or a guest who presents opposing viewpoints, then you don’t throw them off of the show because of these views.
Use your God-given debate skills and – point by point – expose the flaws in their arguments.

*sigh* It couldn’t have happened to a nicer charlatan.

THAT’S why they pull him? NOT because he is a sham “historian”, and couldn’t string together a truthful historical statement if his life depended on it, but because he didn’t differentiate Christianity and Mormonism?? SUDDENLY the station is concerned with his (lack of) nuance? It would be laudable if it wasn’t so ridiculous.

Blather utter nonsense and adopt racist ideology: not a problem. Dare to so suggest that a Mormon might be a Christian: fire him, ban him, get him off the air.
It’s amusing, but sad.
David Barton has spent years bringing disgrace and shame to the name of Christianity. But few saw need to suggest that his views, his lies, and his arrogance were contrary to the message of Christ. Yet when Barton, in one bried fleeting moment, opted for inclusion rather than condemnation and bigotry this was just too much for the statilon.
I don’t have much use for a huge chunk of Mormon theology. I don’t particularly want to be god of my own planet, for example.
But I also have problems with the theology of Catholocism, the hateful nasty arrogance of the Southern Baptist Convention, the secularism of the Episcopal Church, the small mindedness and uneducated ignorance of much of the Pentecostal movement, the complacency of a good many mainline or moderate evangelical churches, and the general overall way in which Christendom places tremendous importance on the intangible attribute of being “saved” by Jesus’ sacrifice but not much attention at all to Jesus’ teaching or what that sacrifice was supposed to achieve.
And yet, I do not deny their Christianity. If we were to measure as God measures: in terms of love, humility, caring for others, seeking his Kingdom within us, striving to bring acclaim to that which is good and honorable and giving little value to that which is terporal or even simply in the most basic “do unto others”, I’m afraid no one would qualify.
So I guess our standard should be that if God is so very gracious and generous as to call me his child, then I should keep my mouth shut about the shortcomings of others … just in case it encourages Him to take a closer look at the qualifications.
