Hey Glenn Beck and the Beckites - Did Jesus preach about social and economic justice?
Kind of a sweet thing to see in the corporate news - yes it's manufactured fake news, but it least it seriously asks the beckites to consider WWJD.
Apparemtly beck and the beckites are attacking churches that don't preach their prosperity creed.

Did Jesus preach about social and economic justice?
The Bible cares about social and economic justice, Duren says.
"The Old Testament is replete with examples of God threatening to judge a nation because of a lack of justice or carrying out that threat of judgment against a nation,'' Duren says.
He believes Beck was wrong to tell Christians that they shouldn't belong to churches that seek justice.

That concern for justice is what helped convert him, says Wallis, president of Sojourners. Wallis, who counts King as one of his faith role models, says the Bible isn't just concerned with feeding the poor -- it's concerned about the conditions that create the poor.
Wallis also evoked the Christians who fought against slavery as well as civil rights activists.
"The Bible just didn't say take care of the victim -- it talks about justice," says Wallis, who is the author of "Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street and Your Street."
Meanwhile, Wallis says he's waiting for that public debate with Beck.
"I'll have it," Wallis says, "anywhere he wants."
I'm sure beck and the beckites will run right out and practice christian charity and do unto others as they would have be done to them.

Why bother to listen to Beck if it only produces such splenetic reactions? He knows he's pushing buttons. Don't let him!
