More Idiocy!
It's not often I vent twice in one day but, in the interest of my blood pressure I have done so today.
I've been waiting for this -- it was just a matter of time. Glen Beck has finally managed to offend the vast majority of the country. Leave it to him to try to make 'social justice' a cuss word. He is evil -- in the Biblical sense.
Beck professes to be a Mormon. The Mormons I know are committed to the very things
Beck attacked and are required to do missions. I hope the elders throw his you-know-what out.
I am a Roman Catholic and, if you've been reading here a while, y'all know that I've written here about the good work we do in our parish to help others as has every parish I've been a member in my almost 63 years.
The Presbyterian Church around the corner from me sponsors a meal for the poor as well as other.
The Jewish community here are huge supporters of helping others. One of my classmates who is now a multi-millionaire founded an agency to help the elders and disabled in our community find care.
I also decided to check in Islam's take on charity and was pleasantly surprised. Y'all can read about it here. I also checked on Buddhism.
In short, all the major religions require charity as part of their respective roads to heaven.
Here are a few quotes from my hero Gandhi that I think Beck should take to heart:
* The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
* Generosity consists not the sum given, but the manner in which it is bestowed.
* The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
* You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.
* Be the change you want to see in the world!
This response from Countdown was brilliant:
I think Glen Beck is trying to undermine our rights to practice our faith. Kudos from the Mormons for apologizing for the insults and venom Beck spewed but they should not have had to do such a thing if Beck really followed his faith. And I wonder if the Mormons have excommunication, shunning or somesuch.

Britt Hume Redux
Britt Hume dug himself deeper in the hole with his holier than all of us views on Tuesday. And yesterday Keith Olbermann had an excellent guest from the Interfaith Alliance who actually made sense.
I like Rev. Waddy because he really got to the heart of the matter when he talked about respect among the various faiths.
As a Catholic, I am not considered a Christian by the likes of Britt Hume. Duh? I know because it's been told to me many times by others like him. Frankly, I don't want to join their cabal of intolerance because we all find our own way to God.
My dad's favorite quote from the Bible was, "Judge not lest ye be judged." I think Hume needs to re-read the Old Testament. And yeah, I'm being a tad judgemental. He asked for it!
The Founding Fathers established freedom of religion when they wrote the Constitution -- I recommend that Britt Hume re-read that fine document and shut up.

Another Take on the Tiger
When I was in my 20s, my friends and I were fans of the morning show on WGAR, a Cleveland radio station. The wacky host who kept us laughing as we drove to work was Don Imus who went on to fame and fortune as WNBC's morning drive time host. He weighed in yesterday on Brit Hume's pathetic remarks directed to Tiger Woods. The only thing he said that I disagree with is that Brit Hume is a brilliant journalist. My take is that a truly brilliant journalist wouldn't would make the sort of remarks Hume made. Here's the video:
All I wanna know is what happened to "fair and impartial" journalism? Do they still teach it in college? Can any of y'all imagine Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley or Chet Huntley making statements like that? I long for the days when the news media pretty much left a man's (or woman's) faith alone. I'm glad Imus called Hume out on this even though he's sold his soul to Fox News.
And if any of you feel a burning need to call me out and tell me that Christianity is the only path to God, remember that I am a renegade Catholic and believe that we all find our own path to God whether we call him God, Yahweh, Buddha, Allah or the Great Wazoo. Also remember that one of my favorite quotes is:
"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." -- Mahatma Gandhi
I think Brit Hume embodies why Gandhi said that.
