What I said is that you’re making “a false dichotomy which implies that ‘car[ing] for the poor’ requires support for big government. ”

Now you’re not only misrepresenting Beck; you’re misrepresenting what was said on your own site.

Subscribe to socialism if you will. You can even try to dress it up as Christianity (or Judaism, or Islam), if you choose. And, of course, since the Big Lie is inherent in socialism, tell all the tales you want.

Just don’t be surprised when someone calls you a liar, for you surely are.

I can certainly understand why you think that I may be fabricating this story about Glenn Beck. That is why I posted links to the video and other news accounts. It is really surprising to me too that someone would have such a false sense of understanding as to think that social justice is not part of the Christian message. Maybe Glenn Beck just doesn’t know his Bible. I’m not sure.

No one can serve two masters, according to scripture. Who is the master of Glenn Beck?

That is, of course, nonsense, a false dichotomy which implies that “car[ing] for the poor” requires support for big government. Forget that one about “bear[ing] false witness?”

What Beck clearly understands — whether you do or not determines whether you are a liar, or merely ignorant — is that the Christian charitable imperative has no government component, since government handouts, paid for with tax dollars coerced from citizens, are not “charity,” by hypothesis. Moreover, he understands those who cite “economic justice” or “social justice” to justify big government and confiscatory tax rates are not relying upon Christ’s teaching, but upon their one true religion: socialism.

Of course, socialism is neither economically rational, nor very just.
