PART 3 Glenn Beck: America's Third Great Awakening 09-03-2010.flv

FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY and the 40 Day / 40 Night Pledge

Divine Destiny: America's return to Faith and God.

The end of the Declaration of Independence ends with "With firm reliance on Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, fortunes and sacred honor."

George Whitfield preached Power comes from God, you don't need anyone in between you and God. Have a personal relationship with God. That changed things in America because we were going into a spiritual darkness prior to Whitfield's message, which spread to all of the preachers between 1740-1780. That period inspired our Founders and a lot of what is in our founding documents come directly from the Pulpit.

The First Great Awakening with George Whitfield led to the American Revolution.

The Second Great Awakening started with the Churches and led to the freeing of slaves with Abraham Lincoln.

An awakening happens when the people realize the stuff they have built their lives on is meaningless.

Glenn and his guests believe we are in the midst of the Third Great Awakening.

Sorry folks, but a growing number of Americans are waking up to the realization that God is nothing more than Santa Claus for adults. And I say "amen" to that!

[fab4bear]

@sponyak It's quite the opposite. More people are turning back to God. Sorry to disappoint you! NOT!

[sponyak]

@fab4bear Um... no. The percentage of Americans who claim "no religion" has doubled over the past decade, from 8% to 16%. Even a lunkhead like Glenn Beck would acknowledge this.

True, the percentage of those people who are bold enough to call themselves "atheists" would be smaller... many atheists prefer to sugarcoat with terms like "humanist", "freethinker", and "agnostic" (which despite its definition is still an atheistic position).

[fab4bear]

@sponyak I wonder where the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey, 2008 Pew Forum get their data? We all know just about anyone can fabricate a "poll" to support any conclusion. What's your reaction to 300,000 to 650,000 Americans showing up for a "religious rally" on 8/28 in Washington? I believe there is currently a new Awakening among Americans despite what you say, or any "evidence" from your referenced polls. You're a self-avowed atheist. That doesn't threaten me, you're free to be.

[fab4bear]

@sponyak Just for the sake of argument, let's say the poll was a true representative of it's conclusion, so what? A lot can happen in a couple of years. Look how far we've come towards socialism under obama. I personally think he's done MORE for a return to God than anyone in recent times. Ironic! He's destroying America and building up God at the same time.

Name your sources

This was like 15 minutes of pure insanity.

[JarethGT]

Faith, hope, virtue and charity are not exclusive to religious nuts. You don't need mythology to practice virtue and have faith in something greater than yourself.

[lueesituh]

Its sad that you guys believe that. God bless you.

[yoops]

Google profile of a sociopath, read the list, now look at these men.

[yoops]

I am starting to believe that you need to be required to be a sociopath in order to be a leader in a religion. Sociopaths live to take advantage of others, swindle, lie, and they require the love of the people they swindle in order to justify their lies. And their minds are so wired differently that they feel no remorse for doing so, it's not treatable, it's scary.

A number of atheists responded, which I think means they too are looking for peace and inner joy. I’ve found that ego is the cause of all suffering and negativity. I was hurt so I thought hurting others with my words would make me feel better. It took many years to get over the idea that my “self” was more important than God. That tendency remains insidious and when it manifests, it results in causing pain. Giving up my ego to God and the love of others, for the first time I found joy and peace.

[cantleysugar]

Everything came from nothing.

Trust me. I'm an atheist.

[deekismusic]

Secular fundamentalism?

LMAO what a joke.

[sponyak]

@fab4bear 2008 American Religious Identification Survey, 2008 Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life. One correction... the number of non-religious Americans has doubled over the past 2 decades, not 1 decade. ARIS found non-religious Americans at 15.3%, Pew at 16.1%.

fab4bear, If you say more people are turning back to God, than what the hell is this "epidemic of nonbelief" that Beckie-Boy & guests are so worried about?
