While writing my latest book, Killing Jesus, I knew I would catch hell once it hit the marketplace. Your mom was right when she told you never to discuss politics and religion because emotions run so high in those arenas. Especially religion.
Even before Killing Jesus was released, the mail began pouring in. And some of it was very nasty.
Brent in Texas opined: "O'Reilly, you are not someone who has the right to write a book about Jesus."
Eric in South Carolina: "You are helping to deceive people with your ignorance about Jesus."
Al in Louisiana: "Bill, what do you know about Jesus? You are Catholic and they don't know anything about the Bible."
And Raleigh in California really let loose with some disturbing stuff: "Bill, please repent before it is too late. You seem to be angry at God because he put a black man in the White House."
Again, none of those folks had actually read Killing Jesus because it had not been released. The book is pure history; there is no religion in it. The people lashing out at me for daring to address their savior in any capacity are so intense in their beliefs that they have lost all sight of reality.

It stands to reason anti-Christian Leftists aren't going to buy his book. So what does he do? He goes out and lumps in the very audience who would otherwise be interested in this topic and lumps them together with the left wing nutcakes.
Thank God for Moderates, eh, Bill.
No doubt the book will be a best seller, though. Not that he'll get a penny from me.
Ah, well. He wouldn't want my money anyway.
probably the purpose..
(i.e people who feel guilty for not paying attention in school..?)

Funny how he pokes us in the eye and then chastises us for complaining about being poked in the eye.
When I heard Billy was writing this one, the first thought I had was “Has he had some sort of conversion experience since writing that “soft porn” book awhile back?”
How much license will he take???? He deserves criticism.
I do not know how much license he takes. I have not read nor to I intend on reading his latest book. I have not read ANY of his books, though I would imagine they are at least interesting as he has sold millions of them.
To criticize him without reading his book and being able to cite where he misrepresents either history or biblical tradition is not right either.
I legitimately am asking anyone the has read the book where is he wrong. What part is BS.
Just asking.
he is not about accuracy, the criticism is justified. his latest book is not out, but he should have known better.
“Jesus was killed by the Romans....”
.
His executioners were soldiers of the 10th (or 11th?) Roman Legion based in Judea.
It is said that most of them were German volunteers.
