Glenn Beck Hates Exodus Film For Showing God as Petulant Child, Moses as Terrorist

Glenn Beck, the self-proclaimed “fusion of entertainment and enlightenment,” thinks Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings is “one of the more dangerous movies” he’s seen, “religiously speaking.”

Not because, as 20th Century Fox puts it, “Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.”

Not, in other words, because the film, like the Bible,

• Depicts the Jews as captives in Egypt when Jews were never held captive in Egypt – after all, the pyramids were already built by the time the Jews were allegedly there as slaves;
• Depicts the Jews as toiling away as slaves building the pyramids when the pyramids were built by Egyptians who were actually paid for their work;
• Depicts a parting of the Red Sea that never happened, (Ridley Scott uses an earthquake as a trigger to the parting) or plagues that never happened, or any of a host of other legitimate problems with the story.

He doesn’t even complain on the basis of Entertainment Weekly’s “fact-checking” of the film.

But ironically, because the film accurately depicts “God as a petulant child and Moses as a terrorist.”
