Glenn Beck Interview Yanked by Focus on Family

Focus on the Family reached new heights of hypocrisy when it pulled an interview with Glenn Beck due to his "Mormon faith." After running the article for three days the interview was yanked and an office administrator was directed to respond to any questions with a written response--see complete article and quote here;

Once again the so-called Christian community refuses to acknowledge that Mormons, by any logical or reasonable definition, are Christian. This stubborn ignorance is just one more reason for free-thinking, educated people like me to start to question whether Evangelicals are truly Christian after all.

Doctrinally Evangelicals stray from true Christianity by their blind adherence to the idea of the Trinity--a term not found in the Bible and not taught by early Christians. The idea of the Trinity came into fashion during the reign of Constantine and his gathering of politicians, intellectuals, and power-seekers at the council of Nicea. Their agreed upon "creed" came only after much discussion, debate, and after opponents were exiled, extorted, or otherwise eliminated. Thus was born the idea of the Trinity as Christian doctrine but not truth at all. In fact the idea of the Trinity as described in the Nicean creed is a blend of Greek metaphysical theory and current philosophical and political posturing. It is not Christian doctrine and anyone that believes it needs to check their Christian credentials, reread the Bible, and most of all repent and seek the true and living God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Ghost--who are each separate beings but one in purpose and perfectly aligned, in tune, and truly of "one mind."

The fact that Glenn Beck does not believe in the Nicean Creed or the concept of the Trinity makes him a true Christian in my eyes and it is Focus on the Family and other evangelical organizations that I question. Are Evangelicals Christian??? I don't think so.
