If You Didn't Know Glenn Beck Was a Mormon, You Do Now

An article on Focus on the Family's banal-named site CitizenLink (our advice: come up with a catchier name!) about proud Mormon Glenn Beck has been pulled after pressure from many of its evangelical readers. Apparently people wrote FOTF family upset that they would write a piece on a Mormon and not make any mention of his religious practices. So what did they do? They simply yanked the article altogether.

FOTF, whose head James Dobson is ironically more David Koresh than inspirational leader gave this reason for pulling the piece:

"...Mr. Beck is a member of the Mormon church, and that we did not make mention of this fact in our interview with him. We do recognize the deep theological difference between evangelical theology and Mormon theology, and it would have been prudent for us at least to have pointed out these differences. Because of the confusion, we have removed the interview from CitizenLink."

Underground Apologetics, whom The Mormon Times refers to "an anti-Mormon group," called "While Glenn's social views are compatible with many Christian views, his beliefs in Mormonism are not. Clearly, Mormonism is a cult." We have a feeling that Underground Apologetics (can't any of these groups come up with a name that doesn't sound like a span site) would call any religious group other than their own a cult.

Beck hasn't remained silent on the whole ordeal. He fought back with these words: "Whatever your beliefs about my religion, the concept of religious tolerance is too important to be sacrificed in response to pressure from special interest groups, especially when it means bowing to censorship."
