blue bits. red rocks.

If [Glenn] Beck’s understanding of social justice is as flawed as I think it is, the alternative that he is proposing is no better and it may be even worse than the idea he is attacking. The point here is not simply to beat up on Beck, but to make an important correction to Beck’s idea that there is something evil or Satanic in understanding the salvation Christ accomplished as something collective. As he did with social justice, he makes such a sweeping rejection of what he calls “collective salvation” that he promotes something he calls “individual salvation,” which is a doctrine that none of the Fathers would recognize or accept. Because he is reading political categories back into theological questions, which is the very thing he finds so offensive about liberation theology, he gives the impression that he is repudiating what most Christians would consider to be a core teaching of their faith.
