O'Reilly: Christianity's Decline In America Could Lead To Collapse Like Roman Empire

During his “Talking Points Memo” segment on Tuesday, “The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly explained that Americans have changed their stance on a number of issues, including immigration and Christianity and that has been to the detriment of the United States.

They denied God THREE TIMES.

That’s significant.

Wow, I never thought of that, you're right. Reminds one of Peter.

[Socon-Econ]

Maybe recent poll respondents are just more honest about their views. In prior decades, many of those who would identify themselves as christian in polls were really secular, occasional, or socializing church goers who were far from biblical Christianity.

I knew they denied God, but never knew it was three times. Looked it up and you are exactly correct! Like you, I believe this is indeed significant!

BORe uses an AP poll telling us a majority of Americans favor "pathway to citizenship" for illegals. He is losing it.

Bill O’Reilly, bringing you the news from 1972!

[YankeeReb]

Any student of history knows that when a nation turns inward toward the pursuit of individual gratification, the country is in trouble. Rome — the best example. The citizens there ultimately rejected sacrificing for their republican — for their republic, I should say — and the empire collapsed.

BillO is right there. I also noticed that one of the innovations from 4th century Rome they're quietly pushing is allowing illegals into the military. Rome tried staffing the legions with barbarians near the end, and that didn't work out so well for them..

Even a “broken clock is right twice a day”.

I just looked, and Bork’s book Slouching Towards Gomorrah is now 19 years old - and that was hardly the first time anyone had noticed this. So yeah, BOR a smidgeon behind the times...

But will they be redeemed like Peter was? They certainly don’t seem repentant as he was.

“They denied God THREE TIMES.”

They denied God three times only because they were limited to three times.

[bandleader]

As El Rushbo pointed out(yesterday),the only”Christian Churches”that are seeing a decline are those that have welcomed radical changes in doctrine,etc.The”Fundamentalist Christians”are Hanging Tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Poison Pill]

So, for Rome, the rise of Christianity was bad and led to their collapse. But for us the decline of Christianity is bad and will lead to our collapse.

Maybe Christianity doesn't have anything to do with it one way or the other?

[MrB]

And they weren’t with Him to start with.
