I think Bill’s soon to be ex should write a book. She could call it, “killing O’Reilly’s Career”
O’Reilly and Joe Biden share a few things in common. One, they’re both of Irish extraction. Two, they’re both nominal Roman Catholics. And three, they both have IQ’s in the room temperature range and compensate for that disability with arrogance, condescension, and interruption whenever someone brighter comes along and shows them for the morons they are.
“I believe that BOR is a devout Christian and will do nothing but present the ‘history’ as he can document it.”
Devout Christians don’t usually engage in phone sex, especially when they have a family.
He settled the case out of court. She supposedly had tapes of the conversations.

He has been caught on tape using foul language. That is all I need.
I did catch a little bit of his "looking down his nose" at the producers of the series The Bible. Not much to say about him. I do pity him because he is probably among the lost and if he believes Jesus was just a political figure and not the resurrected Son of God then you can drop the "probably".
I share my faith with as many people as will allow me. The majority I encounter have that arrogant attitude that the Scriptures are just stories. All I can feel is pity for them. When they discover how wrong they are it will be too late.
Bump!
Sorry to hear about his marriage breaking up. That notwithstanding, I’m still concerned about what he considers to be “facts” regarding Jesus.
I do not consider the opinion of a liberal scholar (or anyone’s ‘opinion’, for that matter) to be a fact other than it being factual that it is someone’s opinion.
But, that’s one way propaganda operates. You cite an expert’s opinion as if it is factual.
Yes, his “the bible contradicts itself” suggests the direction he goes in his search for facts about the bible.
If a supposed contradiction can be reconciled, then it is not a contradiction. Some reject any effort at reconciliation, because it disrupts their agenda of claiming that “the bible contradicts itself.”
” He’s equally terrible about reporting just about everything......I haven’t watched the guy in over a decade.”
I was about to post this almost verbatim : )
His ego is as big as all outdoors, therefore he is an expert in nearly everything. He is bigger than God in his own mind and can call people Bible thumpers if they believe scripture.
The 2 killing books I’ve read were fine. As I stated elsewhere, he doesn’t have the historian’s touch of historian/author Alan Eckert or the writer’s flair of historian/author Jeff Shaara. But, they were decent books.
However, if O’Reilly had been just another author, they would not have been runaway bestsellers, in my humble opinion.
That is the direct result of their receiving nightly free advertising at every opportunity on a major media broadcast.
I will grant that they could not be unacceptable or trash books to garner acclaim, but the extent of the acclaim is attributable to 24/7 non-stop plugging of those books on the Fox News network.
Just as an additional thought, we should not be shy in stating that the primary, eyewitness views are recorded in the gospels.
I’m not a premium member, but he’s going to host a “forum” for his premium members later this month or next month, to discuss KILLING JESUS.
If anyone here is a premium member, (doubtfully) maybe we could get a report!
PRECISELY!
I can understand that line of reasoning. I trust that the faithful will not be swayed by such a blowhard. We’re really the last line of defense now, sad to say.
Agreed. 2 pts higher on their IQ and they could have been bricks.
My pastor gave a great sermon on Resurrection Sunday. In it he talked about honest doubt and dishonest doubt. The difference being an honest doubter will see the truth and accept it. Thomas is the best example of this. The dishonest doubter will never accept the truth. They will just come up with more questions, or reasons not to believe.
It's pretty easy to tell the difference. If we are talking with a doubter who thinks the Scriptures are just a collection of moral stories, or have contradictions, they will admit their error as they study and see the fulfillment of prophesy, historical accuracy and objective historical record that confirms facts. The dishonest doubter will ignore all that.
I think the size of the viewership for the series The Bible is a good indicator that there are a lot of people who would like to know the truth. The problem is the media believe their PC lies and wouldn't know the truth if it hit them on the head.
FWIW, if BOR wants to present a historical record he should copy the Books of Luke and Acts.
