Outraged that right-wing Christian business owners are facing the possibility of fines for refusing to serve gay customers rather than being allowed to freely discriminate in the name of religious freedom, Glenn Beck said on his radio show today that not allowing Christians to engage in discrimination is "the work of Satan."
"I can't change my religious point of view. I can't. Especially by force. I won't by force," Beck said, before declaring that "the Left just doesn't understand religion at all," which is why liberals refuse to admit that radical Islamic terrorism is rooted in religion and won't honor the right of Christians in America to engage in anti-gay discrimination.
"They want to shut Christians down," he said. "What is this, except the work of Satan?"

I don't believe in Satan, but if I did I'd suspect he's responsible for Beck.

Why do righties say they support the constitution then dismiss whole parts of it?

While people correctly and soundly reject Beck, Francis who says the same thing is a DU Superstar.
