when i read this question,.. for Glenn Beck..

I realized how much the answer spoke for our Christian sense of right and wrong..

you don't have to be a church going believer to decide right and wrong... but you do have to understand there is a right and wrong.. something christian societies have taught for generations..



If Gandhi or MLK Jr. were Chinese would we even know their name?

I’ve heard you say on a number of occasions that we should emulate MLK Jr. and Gandhi in their ideas of peaceful resistance to tyranny, but Glenn, isn’t it true that these two guys led successful movements because of who their opponents were even more than who they themselves were? In other words, if Gandhi and Dr. King were in Tiananmen or even Tahrir Square leading peaceful protests, isn’t it more likely that we’d know them like we know “tank-guy,” as a nameless/faceless/voiceless victim?

Don’t take my word for it, take a trip for yourself to Gandhi’s house and regard the banner on the front veranda. The one that sports the quote from Bertrand Russell: “It is doubtful that the efforts of the Mahatma would have succeeded except that he was appealing to the conscience of a Christianized people”.

When the evangelist, Ravi Zacharias saw this sign he was stunned by the irony that “the home of Gandhi, the pantheist, displayed a banner quoting Russell, the atheist, who said the former’s efforts would not have succeeded save for the theists.”

Now tell me, dear Glenn, do you believe that Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Eric Holder are closer to the worldview of the British Colonialists, the American segregationists or the Red Chinese and the Muslim Brotherhood? I’ll hang up now and wait for your answer.
