What do Glenn Beck, Pink Floyd, and Jesus Christ have in common?
As far as I know, just this cool story:
I heard it for the first time on Passover while sitting in my car and thought it was pretty cool. Should have blogged it then, and am 2 days late.
It appears that Google’s hosted video service is about to expire, so this link will only be good up to May 13th.
Happy Easter, Everyone!
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
What a wonderful Easter this is indeed! No Glenn Beck, Pink Floyd still rules, dude! Jesus Christ is my redeemer, not Fox News!
Long live Jesus Christ and Pink Floyd! Glenn Beck, not so much.
One thief mocked him
The other thief asked if there was room in heaven for one such as he
Jesus said that the thief would be with him in paradise
How easy it is to mock the messenger
In the same manner that the Roman soldiers mocked the messenger who bore the cross
@Dave Baumgardner:
Sorry, but Beck is about the only “real” conservative to speak of in popular culture. Rush sold out to the pagan gods of “Free trade” and Levin is a nut.
Ivan, Levin is no “nut”, but a knowledgeable Constitutional lawyer. I do like Beck. Not always careful in his research and sometimes comes out with the wrong.. or half baked… conclusions. But on the whole, he’s progressed nicely as a pundit, and in his style. His heart is in the right spot, and intent’s are genuine. Rush? I find my flaws with him as well, but always consider Rush great entertainment, and “mostly correct”. I could dispute is claim of “99.9%” right, but it’s generally because he’s hasn’t gotten his handlers to get the full spectrum of perspective.
Wordsmith
Thank you for this post.
Here is a Permalink to Glen Beck’s narration with Pink Floyd’s music.
It does not have the pictures but it is a permanent link on Beck’s site.
I have heard this many times, it always gets to me and makes me tear.

Wordsmith, again wow, for your choice of giving us the real thing, no matter that it’s not friday, but it’s close, and in order to resurect,today, he had to die 2 days before, Is In It what happen to us too in life,
we always die to something, and resurrect to a new part of life, and in our humble way,
the only one who can make that leap in time are being given a chance to be better than before,
I heard this live and loved it then and am glad to know where to find it again.
Thanks
I would say Megan McCain is the best.
Just kidding!
I like Glenn Beck, believe in Jesus Christ.
I am probably in a minority here, but I cannot stand Pink Floyd. No real reason other than it seemed to be a ‘fad’ to like them while growing up and I never got into it.
And Ivan, I like Levin the most amongst the “pundits” out there, mostly for his views, but also for his book Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover’s Story of Joy and Anguish. That book is an amazing story of shelter dogs and the love they can bring, and receive, from families.
Shame the journey into ‘space-time’ didn’t go further back to the start of the universe…you know 6000 years ago when Jesus’s dad apparently made the universe in 6 days. Lol
Btw – Roger Waters & Dave Gilmour are atheists.

GaffaUK, HI, nice to see you again, I hope anticsrocks is around to debate you!!!
THAT last time was very interresting, was in it? NOW whos they ROGER WALTERS,
DAVE GILMOUR ? JOURNALIST ON CHICAGO’S TRIBUNE? SO WHAT MAKE THEM
SO BELEIVEBLE? IT’S THEIR WORDS against GOD’S WORD,
MANY DON’T KNOW THOSE ATHEISTS, LIKE ME, BUT WE SURE KNOW GOD,
BYE
@Ilovebees
Water & Gilmour are/were members of Pink Floyd. Maybe we should have Richard Dawkins read passages from his excellent ‘God Delusion’ against the tripe Christian rock of Stryper? Lol. I guess the devil does have the best tunes. Although the fact that John Lennon is dead whilst Celine Dion lives suggests there is no God.
Word of God? Do you mean accounts that were most likely written many decades after the supposed events by people who weren’t eyewitnesses? God can’t be that powerful if even can’t even get a reliable contemporary writer to knock out a biography of his son in AD33 (or whatever year Jesus was crucified ad scholars can’t even agree on that)
Of course Easter is based on the pagan, Eostre. Another myth. Maybe Beck could read that bedtime story next year – or even tell us the one about the Easter bunny. I’m there are people out there who claim to know and speak to the Easter bunny as well:D
GaffaUK, good try, but you mention the DEVIL also and he was there, so if the DEVIL was there,
It’s logical tha GOD was there and had finish the creation of thoses ANGELS, and the devil was the most perfect under GOD and envious of his CREATOR WHICH WAS nobody else but GOD, who start to create human. but the ATHEES where not there yet, until way in the future another human decide that we can make it without GOD,
hey that sound like OBAMA DECIDE TO start the LIBYA WAR WITHOUT THE CONGRESS WHICH IS THE SUPREME POWER OVER WAR DECISIONS; HEY, that bring to my mind another FACT,
that, you dont see CHRISTIANS IN PUBLIC EVENTS, THEY ARE NOT WANTED ANYMORE
FOR PRAYING GOD TO PROTECT AMERICA, but you see more of other pushing their MOSKE ON EVERY CORNER OF AMERICA, hey, the ATHEIST are multiplying to in numbers, but you don’t make enough babyes anymore, so the others are in the mean time, while you glorify who?
I see you don’t have nobody to thank for your life, well just thank yourself for being so limited and forget that your soul is dead
@Ilovebees
I mention the Devil in scorn. The devil is also fiction. What’s logical about God? If the angels were prefect then how come the Devil (also an angel) was envious?
What’s Libya got to do with this?
You believe that it is a fact that Christian’s don’t appear at public events? I guess if you believe God is a fact then you would also make believe that statement is a fact. lol
Atheists are multiplying but they don’t make enough babies anymore? Well more people are turning to atheism as our knowledge increases and society questions what they have been spoon-fed.
Why do I need to glorify anyone?
If my soul is dead then at least I don’t have God trying to save my soul or should I say – a non-existent entity trying to save a non-existent part of humans. lol
What do Glenn Beck, Pink Floyd, and Jesus Christ have in common?
Mental illness.
