Glenn Beck has managed to piss off religious folk by ordering his listeners to "run as fast as you can" from churches that talk about "social justice and economic justice."

Glenn Beck has managed to piss off religious folk by ordering his listeners to “run as fast as you can” from churches that talk about “social justice and economic justice.” That doesn’t sit too well with Catholics, people who like to quote that justice-loving hippie Jesus and even Beck’s own Mormon church.
