I read both of his earlier books, each of which did indeed have some interesting facts. The thing is, when O'Reilly starts pontificating about religious matters, he's his own self-styled authority. Kick that Bible to the curb. He doesn't want to take any flak for being viewed as too "fundamentalist Christian." I think Jesus had something to say about that: "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory. . ." O'Reilly might want to look it up. Luke 9:28.
Excellent points. Like Sean Hannity, O’Reilly is positioned as Christian-ish, (but not like those unsophisticated people who take it too seriously).
