Beck on McDonald’s Beating Video: ‘When You Cut God Out, You Revert Back to Animals’

Many of you have seen the horrific and disturbing video of a young transgender woman being beaten into a seizure at a Maryland McDonald’s. On his Fox News program today, Glenn Beck commented on this brutal video, saying “This is what happens when you cut God out. You revert back to animals.”

    But isn’t it the specific religion that Glenn is invoking that condemns the lifestyle of transgender people? So how is God relevant? It seems to me that moral development, or a deficiency therein, is the subject matter of concern. Arbitrary unjustified beliefs are not the proper basis of morality–morality properly ought to be rooted in a pragmatic consideration of probable consequences of action choices given universalizable natural values (such as human capacity to actualize will).

    People who behave as savagely as those girls have definitely thrown God out, but I suspect that a man who dresses like a woman and goes into the ladies’ room has probably thrown God out as well.

    @DEVAIN

    Why is it that people, apparently to include GB, always assume that where there is a belief in God or gods, there is necessarily also a fixed moral standard, but where there is no god, there can be no moral standard?

    I think it‘s because people don’t understand the subject of morality very well. They tend to substitute their own subjective moral standard for the whole universe of morality.

    As an example, we talked about ‘Godless communists’ during the Cold War as if the two were necessarily linked. The truth is that communism has a different moral standard, and not an absence of one. Their moral standard was based on service to the collective, and its instrument, the state.

    Socialists, whether people of faith, or atheist, have a moral standard too. It’s much the same as the notion above, describing communists. Islam has a moral standard. It envisions lopping peoples’ heads off if they renounce Islam. You can’t say the Islamomarxists are immoral. You can say they are ‘immoral by my standard of morality.’

    The moral standard expressed by the two thugs in Baltimore was not due to atheism. It was instead a product of moral nihilism. This view dominates the left, and indeed all statist doctrines. Combined with the moral standard that is altruism, it represents the greatest single danger to the existence of mankind.

      Mark,

      If there is no absolute truth, then you will sway and swim in your own relativism. AND to say there is NOT absolute truth, is in itself an absolute statement. Hence, relativism is as dangerous as total anarchy, the law of the jungle. The only difference are some high sounding rationale for the ‘moral’ of the day. Your arguments are well stated, but are nonetheless coherent and vague because you are simply like smoke wafting in a gray cloud.

      What are you talking about? I believe THERE IS an absolute truth. I completely reject moral relativism. Completely. I don’t think you understand the term.

      Moral relativism consists of adjusting your moral standard relative to your own desires or the expediencies of the moment that suit you. I don’t ever accept such a loose standard.

      Where have I been vague, exactly? Meaning no disrespect, perhaps you should consider rethinking what you’ve said, because your criticism is non-specific, and offers not a single concrete to which I may respond. More, you seem to have entirely missed the actual meaning of my post.

      Where do I adopt relativism. In my first post under this story heading, I point out that the truth IS.

      That doesn’t exactly suggest truth as a moving target. Please explain what you’re talking about. I really think you’re confused as to my meaning, or something.

      Prayer was not taken out of school, the only thing done in that case was it was deemed unconstitutional for teacher’s to lead students in MANDATORY prayer. This is not the role of teachers, as they are government employees. This argument is so old and tired and has been resoundingly refuted many times it’s sad that people still try to say this is why our country is the way it is. Students and teachers can still pray all they want to so long as no one is forced to do so. Please explain how belief in God will turn things around. Please give one example of a moral action one could take that requires belief in God. I’ll be waiting.

      Very good question that has been asked by many scholars throughout the ages.

      Because He has given mankind all the resources required to do these good deeds…but man and his free will have decided to continue to do wrong. There are single dictators or groups of rogue scoundrels that keep all of our foreign aid for themselves. Example, Palestinians, African Sahara tribes, etc etc… the aid rarely gets to the people that need it NOT because God does not care, but because the heart of man is born wicked and evil, all his good deeds are for his own pride, to look good to everyone.
      There is a supernatural creation event that is offered to every man woman and child to overcome the wicked selfish desires of the unregenerate human heart. See John 3:7…do it and you will become a whole being, and you will see as you have never seen before. It is a one time event and it is permanent within your very physical body. THEN you may find yourself joyfully helping all those you have mentioned in your good question, sir.

      Heavyduty: You cannot blame God for the evil in this world, not for illness or all the other sad things that happen. Long ago this world became the place where Satan comes and does his evil work. God gave man a free will to do what he likes. You can mostly blame dictators who care only about lining their own bank accounts for much that happens. They simply do not care for their people. Money is often sent to help people and dictators and other crooked people in the government help themselves. Many churches go to help but there aren’t enough missionaries or enough money to help them all, but you will find that most of the truly charitable work is done by Christian people. Long after the governments money is gone and nothing is being done for people, you will find Christian people trying to help where they can. God left mankind in charge of taking care of the earth and helping each other, that was His plan. So we have failed, not God.

    This is one where I disagree with Glenn. Sorry, but I simply disagree. I have been an atheist sisnce my teenage years. I served in the Army. I work in public safety. I have never committed a crime against anyone. Ever.

    Here‘s the problem with Glenn’s statement: Not all moral standards are based on a belief in God or gods. I grant that throughout most human history, the relationship between peoples’ expressed moral standards and their faith is pretty much the norm, but I also argue that one can have an inflexible moral standard without a belief in God or gods.

    You know, I like GB and I’ve enjoyed his TV show greatly, and it‘s not like I’m going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but this is annoying as heck. To make this sort of blanket statement is to suggest that the animals in the middle east don’t believe in a god? That while those animals run around praying 5 times per day, GB sees them as what??? While he sees me as an animal, or at least a potential animal, because I have no belief in God?

    I’ve never enacted any sort of violence or coercion against a fellow man, except when in accordance with orders while serving in the Army. Yet, according to GB, I am a virtual animal, if not in fact, then at least in potential.

    This is one of the most disappointing things I’ve ever heard him say.

      Speaking as a Christian, I agree with you Mark, not Glenn. True Christians are supposed to reject the dogmas of “religion” as it is man-made not God-made. I believe that many religions on earth only make peoples’ darkest tendencies worse, e.g. Islam, Voodoo, Scientology. Just like all philosophies are not equal, all religions are not equal. I do see positive qualities in others like Buddism and Judaism as they are peaceful and reflective and generally do not exist simply to amass power.

      @BONNIEBLUEFLAG

      Thank you, all around. I‘ve never understood why so many can’t understand that a person without a faith in God or gods is incapable of establishing a fixed moral standard to which they relentlessly adhere.

      My moral standard is based on reason. Not my reason. Not your reason, but the reason. It’s much like Glenn when he says the truth has no agenda. I agree with that wholeheartedly: The truth simply IS.

      One of the rules for moral conduct to which I adhere is: I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. (John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged.)

      I take this to mean that I must serve my own purposes, and not place demands on others to serve mine. This means that I forbid to myself the coercion of others, or to initiate violence or its threat upon others. I likewise expect the same self-control from others.

      This is expressed in many ways. I will never take social security. It’s a fraud and a scam, and a theft extracted from one man’s pocket at gunpoint, to be placed in the pocket of other men who demand it.

      I will never inflict this on my fellow man. Never. I consider it evil.

      Some might ask: “Evil? But you’re an atheist… What would you know of evil?” To such a question, my response is always the same: Evil is the desire to compel others to one’s will, either by threat of force, or by direct action, or by murder, theft and fraud. That’s evil.

      When you say to your fellow man: You must adopt my faith as your own, or die, you are inflicting evil. When you say to your fellow man: You must adhere to my moral standards as if they were your own, or you must be punished or killed, it is evil.

      If you say to your fellow man: I will give you, a starving man, a loaf of bread in exchange for $1, it is NOT evil. It is voluntary. His lack of a dollar is not my fault. It is not my responsibility.

      When he and his gang get together and decide to kill me and take the loaf, it IS evil. When they threaten me with my life, it is evil. It is evil because they demand under threat of violence that I reject my own interests in the name of theirs.

      The worst evil in the world consists of the murderers who murder for the pleasure they derive. These are twisted wrecks of humanity that intend to spread their own personal pain to all the world. A dictator is merely a murderer on a grand scale. They always wind up spreading misery and torture and pain.

      When Glenn says that I am an animal, or prone to become one, because i do not hold a faith in God, he takes a shortcut across reason, and in so doing, undermines the value of his own argument.

      @NOT-A-LIB:

      Look, I understand that you’ve been indoctrinated to believe that all morality arises from religion. That’s fine. I get it. Most people hold that view. Now please explain to me how you expect me to take you seriously considering you’ve just put me on par with Jeffrey Dahmer.

      I mean to say that if you believe Jeffrey Dahmer, or anything he said, it tends to call into question your views on many things. Here you had a certifiable nutcase, who feasted on other human beings, and you cannot imagine that he’s merely attempting to justify his actions by nullifying morality?

      You can’t see that?

      Let me tell you something, since you’ve probably never known it, and within your frame of reference, you probably can’t imagine it:

      In this world, I have met exactly TWO(2) types of atheists. One type of atheist, of which I am one, are atheists because they went on a sincere search for knowledge, and studied god and religions, and know more about the fundamental meaning of morality that most of the alleged ‘faithful’, but at some point, having found no evidence for the existence of a God or gods, rejected the notion.

      Then there is the other sort, with which I believe most people are familiar, because they are far more numerous in our world. These are the people who cannot square themselves and their own historical actions and behaviors with the concepts of morality they know, mostly religious ones, and rather than admit that their actions were wrong, proclaim there is no God or gods and thereby use their atheism as an ESCAPE from moral standards.

      Now, you are free to ask yourself which sort Jeffrey Dahmer was. Ask yourself, if you dare, why so many women who’ve had abortions are atheists. Ask yourself, if it’s not too uncomfortable, why so many homosexuals are atheists. Ask yourself why so many thieves and liars and leftists are atheists?

      Are they atheists because they were on a search for knowledge and found no evidence, or are they atheists as an escape from the moral standards they associate with faith-based standards of morality?

      Which? I can tell you, but I mean no disrespect to you, and my purpose here is not to insult you or any other person, but instead to inform you.

      One of the things I consider an act of immorality is that if i have a faulty understanding or belief about something or somebody, and upon arrival of new information by which I could correct myself, in pride and in foolishness, I ignore new information and evidence, I am acting from a motive Christians would call sinful pride. Well, I don’t believe in Sins, because sins are violations of God’s commandments, and since I don’t believe in God… See? Well, the thing is, just because i don‘t call them sins doesn’t mean I don’t consider them abominations. Abominations to whom? To me. To nature. To nature’s laws.

      I’d ask only that before you reject my arguments, you’d consider them carefully. I do not expect you to give up your God,

      This is my point – If all things are natural, meaning not spiritual and only a result of nature, then wouldn’t ALL things/actions be only natural? And if all actions/things are only “natural”, how can something natural be an abomination to something that is also only natrual?

      You can try to be “rational” all you want. The fact is, the belief (atheism is a religion too, in that you can‘t prove there isn’t a God… you have to believe there isn’t – you can’t prove a negitive) that all that exists was created by nothing, for nothing, and with nothing is far more irrational.

      Just trying to show you, it doesn’t matter what “kind” of Atheist you are… boiled down, there’s no REASON for you to be moral, even though you may be. BTW I became a Christian as an adult. I know full well your position, and it’s flaws.

      @NOT-A-LIB – Do you know the definition of the word atheist? You claim that you were an atheist before you became a Christian. I’ll take your word for it, but it doesn’t seem you gave it much thought. Also, trying to say that throughout history the evil deeds done by atheist’s were committed as a result of their “lack of belief” is pure folly. I assume you’ve heard the expression “Your beliefs inform your actions”. Please demonstrate how a *LACK* of belief in a God leads one to do anything. I don’t do things because of a lack of belief, I do things that are driven by things I actually believe in. By the way, only a strong atheist would declare that for certain no gods exist. There is a difference between weak or “agnostic” atheists, which are the majority, and strong “gnostic” atheists who say that the statement “at least one deity exists” is a false statement. I say that it is unproven, and the default position when confronted with whether you believe in the existence of something is disbelief until proven true. If that makes no sense to you then I don’t know what else to say. Anyway, I am ultimately the source of my morality and the argument that morality must have been determined by an external “GOD” source is not logically valid or sound. Please demonstrate otherwise if you can, giving a logically valid *and* sound argument with evidence to support the premises. I contend that you will be unable to.

      What caused the attack is a MALE, DRESSED AS A FEMALE, being in the WOMEN’S restroom at a McDonalds. When discovered as being a male, the one doing the beating is accusing them of flirting with her man. At first I was feeling sorry for the one that got beat up, but then I realized that I would have probably been the one doing the beating if it was a man in the women’s restroom and my wife or daughter happened to be in the restroom at the same time.

In Houston, some freaky dude followed my bro-in-law’s wife and child into the ladies room…upscale busy eatery. The freak had duct tape and bag ties that he left behind after she screamed bloody murder. Even so, the beating was out of control and could be considered criminal assault, in some states. The manager must have been stoned or drunk out his mind to not respond. Two words, “YOU’RE FIRED!!!”

      I agree with Beck. The person who videotaped this is as culpable as the people beating this transgender.

      Beck says rhetorically “Are you becoming disgusted by who we are all becoming? Can we look at things like human beings rather than groups?”

      Beck goes on to say to say people should follow their own religion and that government can‘t fix what’s in our hearts.

      I don’t have cable but I watched the video and and wholeheartedly agree with Beck. If all I knew about Beck was what he said here (well, except for the “power thing), I’d think he was a pretty reasonable fellow.

      But the irony, the contradiction, the hypocrisy of this website is that it’s all about “groups” and “political affiliation”. “They” are bad, “we” are good. “They are evil, we are God’s children.“ ”I have God’s sanction to hate “them.”. Beck hit the right note in the video. Please listen to it again.

      When people PANIC is when they revert back to animalistic behavior. It’s called the fight or flight response.

      Case and point, people don’t wake up and mob the grocery store everyday like the end of the world and start hoarding food and weapons and going into survival mode daily, but when they feel impending danger or ominous paranoia or in general they go into a state of anxiety, they start clawing over each other in a senseless mob.

      Dehumanization is what allows this type of violence as the McDonalds incident. It speaks to a regression back to animal state in terms of not recognizing another human as a human and treating that human as an animal, when in fact what is occurring is the perpetrator is reverting to its animal instincts in a state of heightened stress.

Something Mrs. Piven needs and wants to thereby create the chaos needed for social change. I was just pointing out that these girls are prime candidates because of their inner anger and hatred.

      @What Would Jesus Vote
      I (ahem) agree that that is where OUR capitalist system brought us, but it wasn’t the economic system that brought us here. Sex and violence sells because of the perverse and uncaring values taught to this 20-something generation by the 60‘s and 70’s generation parents, which carries on to a further degree to this day. Capitalism and family values rose supreme in the 50′s and worked so well that we had an economic boom the likes of which this country and maybe the world has never seen. Middle class families, with ONE income owning FREE AND CLEAR a home and a car….and a new television set. That was still a capitalist system.
      Why did it work so well then and not so well now?
      The answer is government interference and taxation. Your rebuttle will be “yeah, but what about the poor in those days?” First, the poor did ok because they were free to make their own gardens and learned to make due with what they had. They were much better off then than they are now. Second, local churches had much more capital to help those truely in need, rather than the government taking from the taxpayers and giving to all with a hand out, needy or not as we have today.
      Capitalism is NOT the problem, but rather restricted capitalism is. What we have today is a system where the mightiest of corporate intities have the loopholes and capital to thrive in the free market, but the guy wanting to opemn a shop is so hamstrung by regulation that he can’t even hire the workforce needed for his business to survive.
      My point is: liberalism in the form of “give to all whose hand is out” has killed not only the ability of job-givers to hire, but has also killed any will to pull one’s self up and succeed on his own.
      Liberalism is the death of capitalism, and is the enabler of sloth and laziness.
      Liberalism is the death of success, and is the enslaver of the masses.
