Glenn Beck has stirred the pot again, but President Obama can rest easy for a few days because he was not the central target this time.
Backers of the concept of Christian "social justice," however, were not so lucky. Beck compared it to communism and Nazism -- and at least one religious leader is calling for Christians to stop watching the conservative broadcaster, radio host and best-selling author.
On his radio and television shows, Beck suggested any church promoting "social justice" or "economic justice" merely was using code words for Nazism and communism.
"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," he said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. ... Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If they're going to Jeremiah Wright's church, yes!
"If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish," he said. "Go alert your bishop and tell them, 'Excuse me are you down with this whole social justice thing?' If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: 'Excuse me what's this social justice thing?' And if they say, 'Yeah we're all in on this social justice thing,' I am in the wrong place."
Later, Beck held up a picture of a swastika and one of a hammer and sickle, declaring again that "social justice" has the same philosophy as the Nazis and communists and that the phrase is a code word for both.
Stu Burguiere, executive producer at "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," sought to clarify Beck's comments today.
"Like most Americans, Glenn strongly supports and believes in 'social justice' when it is defined as 'good Christian charity,'" he said. "Glenn strongly opposes when Reverend Wright and other leaders use 'social justice' as a euphemism for their real intention -- redistribution of wealth."

The Catholic Church and most large mainstream Protestant churches are pretty left wing. They generally support left wing economic policies. The smaller Protestant and Mormons are less so. But, then you have a lot of exceptions like Romney.

you sure seem to be confused on this subject.....social justice as an individual pursuit is credit worthy...donating yer own money voluntarily is very Christian....social justice attained by forcing others to pay for your belief system is totalitarian......voting to take other people's money and passin it around is more like extortion.....and should be illegal....hope that helped ya some......

| Isn't Glenn Beck pushing for the lifting of tax breaks on religious institutions since most are left wing leaning and as Beck puts it a waste of public funds? Beck says he supports that position just like the TEA Party does. At least that is the email that is going around.

Roger on that!! So you do not believe in the tax breaks given to religious institutions since that is "forcing" others to pay for the support of religious institutions. Roger on that too.

Basically what the email states:
I don't watch any FOX News or their hosts but I just read about Glenn Beck's rage against Christians, Catholics in particular, and their "social and economic justice" missions. Beck claims these "mission" were actually formed and inspired by the Nazis and people should leave the church!
Beck, is claimed in an email going around, to be advocating doing away with tax breaks for ALL religious institutions since most are left wing leaning. That would mean your place of worship would have to pay taxes like everyone else and donations would not be tax deductible anymore. Beck claims this is the position of the TEA Party and he believes in it and wants all religions to pay their own way with no public tax funding or support. Is this really factual?Last edited on Sat Mar 13th, 2010 04:53 pm by Boomerbob

Are you with Glenn Beck's assertion that tax breaks for religious institutions should be ended? Yes or no...It is that simple...Kind of like Glenn Beck.

Another thread hijack. That's not the subject.
But to answer your question probably not at least I've never heard or read where he has addressed the subject. There's nothing on his website about it.

How is it a thread hijack when the crux of what Beck is advocating is stopping the redistribution of wealth and tax breaks, with the public funding, is one way to redistribute wealth isn't it?
As for Beck policies on taxes he made statements concerning taxes during the C-PAC address admonishing Republicans and indicating his willingness to end public funding (tax breaks) for left leaning institutions (i.e. who do you think?).

What statement(s) did he make concerning tax exemption of religious organizations?
