Glenn Beck on Japanese Earthquake: A Message from God…

Due to his jokes regarding the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, Gilbert Gottfried was fired as the Aflac duck and has issued an apology via Twitter. This begs the question: will Glenn Beck face similar consequences for his remarks on the subject? Glenn Beck is “just” saying… God is clearly punishing mankind for our sins. On his radio show yesterday, The Fox News host labeled the natural tragic, which has taken thousands of lives, a “message being sent” by God. He explained: “I’m not saying God is causing earthquakes… What God does is God’s business. But I’ll tell you this, whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus, there’s a message being sent,” said Beck. “‘Hey, you know that stuff we’re doing. It’s not really working out. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.’ I’m just saying.” What do you think of Beck’s comments?
