First check this out…
I don’t even really know where to begin. so much in here is so wrong. First off is this really how the majority of Christians (Bill O’Reilly) and atheists (Bill Maher) think? I don’t blame Maher for not understanding the Bible, he doesn’t claim to believe, so he doesn’t have to have any knowledge in it. But O’Reilly, really bud? My high school students know scripture better than you here. I understand if a Christian is out debated by an atheist, but at least be humble enough to admit there are things you don’t understand, and that you are not sufficient to debate here.
For everyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus who watched that, or others of us, please let me clear up a few things:
Maher says correctlywe have to take a look at both the Old and New Testaments, where as O’Reilly says Christians need to look at the New. NO. It is all the same book we as Christians are called to read it.
O’Reilly…if you read the New Testament you would quickly understand the point of love you neighbor as you love yourself is not the central theme. Its that Jesus came, died, and was resurrected, ushering in the kingdom of God.
Really the quote that got me riled up was O’Reilly’s, “I read the New Testament and there isn’t to many downsides to being like Jesus, seemed to be a pretty good guy to me.”
AHHHHH
Really the Jesus who says, “If you don’t hate your father and mother you cannot be my disciple.” And “Come and Die” The guy who flipped over tables at church, who denounced material posessions. There are tons of downsides to being like Jesus!
He tells you in the book of John, “The world will hate you!” A big downside Bill.
Finally… before I have a heart attack for being so frustrated.
O’Reilly said, “If Jesus ran the country we would be in a better situtation would we not?”
Maher- “I think if Jesus were in charge of the country we probably would have healthcare for everyone!”
Wham-o!

/ January 29, 2012There both pinheads when it comes to the topic of religion. Bill O should stick to politics and bill M should stick to comedy (or not because he’s really not funny).
