Leonard Pitts the Opinion columnist for the Miami Herald should be ashamed of himself. He seems to have a personal vendetta against Glenn Beck and has no problem going so far as to lie in order to discredit him. In his March 2010 column about Glenn Beck and Social Justice, he states that Glenn said "Social Justice" is code word for Nazism and communism. In fact Glenn Beck said "Social Justice" was code word for "Marxism." It just so happens that both Communism and Nazism have roots in Marxism, but that does not mean all who preach Social Justice are Nazi's or Communists. Many are simply ignorant to the fact they are related and have themselves been sucked in by the feel good idea that Social Justice is simply innocent terminology.
The really shocking thing about this whole story is that Rev. Jim Wallace openly admits that he believes the bible is about Social Justice and Redistribution of Wealth. This is why Mr. Beck told his audience to investigate and run away as fast as they can if they find this to be the case in their church or place of worship. Leonard Pitts claims to have ran this by 2 other preachers who second Wallis's testament. I guess those are the kind of people that Leonard Pitts surrounds himself with.
I do not claim to be a world renowned theologian or any kinds of bible scholar but I'm pretty sure that the Bible does not speak of redistribution of wealth. I mean which section would that be exactly, Barrack 10:13 and he said, "It's not that I want to punish your success it's just that I want to make sure that everyone who's behind you has a chance for success to, I think that when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
I'm pretty sure Jim Wallis is reading his bible a little differently than most, but I'll let each of you make that decision for yourself.
Cheers,
Mike
