Glen Beck was just on TV, with millions of viewers, talking about how the Injuns were Jews or Egyptians and how they used used "Sacred Geometry" to make burial mounds in Ohio with the same dimensions of the Pyramids.
*sinks in chair and facepalms*
Glen Beck's a Mormon.

Dec 27, 2010 Sarah Palin is 2010 top religion voice for many Sarah Palin easily eclipsed Rev. Franklin Graham (shown in the background on their recent tour of Graham's aid organization's programs in earthquake-stricken Haiti) in a readers' poll for religion newsmaker of the year. Sarah Palin is the top religion newsmaker in 2010 to many Faith & Reason readers, not the N.Y. imam who wants to build an Islamic center near Ground Zero or Pope Benedict XVI, leader of more than one billion Catholics. •Find Faith & Reason blog on Twitter, Facebook Palin is no pastor, priest or imam. But the TV talk/reality star ex-governor author infuses all her speeches and her two best-sellers with references to God and a vision of the United States as exceptionally blessed -- if Americans follow the path of Christian faith. And this, presumably, is how she has garnered 26% of readers' votes in my little straw poll in yesterday's Faith & Reason. I presented the cases for Palin, and several other contenders including Benedict and Imam Abdul Feisal Rauf (both tied at 23%), Glenn Beck (9%) and Rev. Franklin Graham (7%) and even the politician who brought paganism into the mid-term election limelight, Christine O'Donnell (4%) Several readers (9%) chose to write in their own suggestions. Sarah Palin joined Texas Gov. Rick Perry, right, and Attorney General Greg Abbott to pray at the close of an anti-abortion fund raising event in Dallas in November, 2010. Palin leads readers' votes in an unscientific poll of religion newsmaker of the year. Palin sailed past the most influential and controversial religious leaders in 2010, what would happen if I eliminated the obvious also-rans like "I-am-not-a-witch" O'Donnell and Glenn Beck and Rev. Franklin Graham? Hence a run-off poll today. content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2010/12/sarah-palin-pope-benedict-mosque-islam/1?loc=interstitialskip

Palin was born into a Roman Catholic family.[9] Later, her family joined the Wasilla Assembly of God, a Pentecostal church,[282] which she attended until 2002. Palin then switched to the Wasilla Bible Church because, she said, she preferred the children's ministries offered there.[283] When in Juneau, she attends the Juneau Christian Center.[284] Palin described herself in an interview as a "Bible-believing Christian."[9] After the Republican National Convention, a spokesperson for the McCain campaign told CNN that Palin "doesn't consider herself Pentecostal" and has "deep religious convictions."[285] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin#Personal_life

Ahh so Beck is finally promoting Mormon theology as fact to millions of befuddled viewers.
What's next, the golden tablet or how Black people were originally white people who sinned too much.

A Mormon told me that Cain slew Abel, so God put a mark on him. They interpret that as black skin.
I can't stand to watch Beck, but Dobermann woke me up when he called Beck a televangelist. That says it all.
I wonder if he receives guidance and counsel from the Church?

The title of the show was something like, "History Re-discovered" too. What a shame. It's stuff like this which is responsible for distorting written or oral history throughout every aspect of human history since the beginning of time; to the point where nobody knows what happened; or real history is completely turned into fable or mythology. It's people like this... I read about this stuff all the time, it turns out to be a scam, like the guy over 100 years ago in Britain who tried to pass off a monkey skull bone as a human bone to make Britain the "Cradle of humanity" instead of in Africa. Other scamsters who like to throw fake artifacts into dig sites. It's usually a scam to make money.

Yeah Beck's a scam artist albeit religious one that gives me the willies. He could easily become another Father Coughlin or worse.
And he might just pull it off one day given how few Americans know history anymore. I remember a poll done some years back among recent college grads, about half didn't know about Bunker Hill or when WWI occurred.
Just the sort of environment for a slimebag like Beck to thrive.
