Glenn Beck Tells His Radio Audience That Non-Discrimination Laws Are 'The Work Of Satan'



Outraged that right-wing Christian business owners are facing the possibility of fines for refusing to serve gay customers rather than being allowed to freely discriminate in the name of religious freedom, Glenn Beck said on his radio show today that not allowing Christians to engage in discrimination is "the work of Satan."

"I can't change my religious point of view. I can't. Especially by force. I won't by force," Beck said, before declaring that "the Left just doesn't understand religion at all," which is why liberals refuse to admit that radical Islamic terrorism is rooted in religion and won't honor the right of Christians in America to engage in anti-gay discrimination.

"They want to shut Christians down," he said. "What is this, except the work of Satan?"

1. I'd be more inclined to think Glenn Beck is the work of Satan.

Beck isn't Satan; he's not even a minor demon. But maybe Satan sent him to bug the shit out of sane people while encouraging dumb, crazy people to do dumb, crazy things.

I don't believe in Satan, but if I did I'd suspect he's responsible for Beck.

It says God in no respecter of persons.....maybe its time for you to start reading the "Good Book" instead of rationalizing the baser elements of your culture

Where do you draw the line at religious beliefs? I think the first amendment says we don't give religion deference.
Why do righties say they support the constitution then dismiss whole parts of it?

Has he refunded the money he took from people who wanted to move there? Is the gun factory being built?

Francis gussies it up by saying 'a machination of the Father of Lies' but that means 'the devil makes them do it.
While people correctly and soundly reject Beck, Francis who says the same thing is a DU Superstar.
