Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Monday dismissed all criticism of his new film "Killing Jesus," saying that the "secular-progressive left" was giving the film bad reviews because it challenged their anti-religious agenda....He recently told CBS' "60 Minutes" that the Holy Spirit came to him in the middle of the night and "directed" him to write "Killing Jesus," making use of his gifts given to him by God. "One night I just woke up and went, 'killing Jesus.' And I believe, because I'm a Catholic, that comes from the Holy Spirit," O'Reilly said.

Maybe casting a muslim as Jesus was the problem.

Specifically, casting a muslim who denies Christ was the Son of God, died for our sins, and was resurrected, but who tries to pretend islam and Christianity are one and the same was the problem.

Off-putting.

Can't review this film since I purposefully didn't see it. BOR is a Catholic and I have no regard for Catholic biblical revisionism.

Also, BOR is a self-aggrandizer first and foremost. He writes, he talks, he makes movies merely as self-promotion. Turning a buck off the Lord reveals the fundamental falsity of this man.

What a blowhard. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He thought he could please the left by taking God out of the story, and now that it didn’t work, he wants to don the mantle of “persecuted Christian”.

Nope, sorry Bill. You made your bed with the secularists, now you can lie down with them.

Maybe it’s the “Plan 9 From Outerspace” of Jesus movies.

This statement by the Leprechaun is in direct contradiction to what he told Beck recently. O’Reilly said his movie is completely secular, that it reveals the “real” reason Jesus was crucified, and that it has nothing to do with “religion.”

The movie was terrible.

I am waiting for the sequel: Killing O’Reilly and Dugard by Jesus of Nazareth.

It’s being pan from Christian groups for being non-Christian. I saw some of it and it was laughable. Basically, Jesus is aimlessly walking around not quite sure of what’s going on and who he is and on top of that these people around him are pushing him into these situations. It’s a Life of Brian movie but just called him Jesus

Bill: the movie was just plain bad.

3 hours to say what the plot was in the first 20 minutes: Jesus was a threat to control and the peace.

It was jerky, it was mis-paced, out of place events were jarring AND the beards were bad.

How bad was it, well for starters, the scene of his disheveled ‘Muslim Jesus’ was in the crowd watching John the Baptist dunking (his) followers in the river.

O’Reilly’s Jesus, asked John to Baptize Him...”But you are Jesus, you should be Baptizing ME.

O’Reilly’s Jesus: “Oh yeah, I forgot but do it anyhow, my smelly tattered robe and hair are starting to turn people off” (extreme sarcasm)

Naturally the left would give any religious movie a bad rating, but there are other reasons.

I have never watched a Jesus movie more than three or four minutes because it usually depicts Jesus as either a wild man or a woman with a beard.

Poor lost Bill.. . This is a man that unless the Holy Spirit does "visit him" will burn in hell with all those "liberal progressives"

He tries to call Jesus a "philosopher" to make Him acceptable to the world, now he tries to show Jesus as a victim of a political system when all He was trying to do was teach people to love and be kind

He has no clue on who Jesus is and that is sad

Bad reviews because his movie does not have the ring of truth to it.

Everyone I have talked to who have seen it have mentioned the rope and the horse.

They didn't come away with an uplifted soul wanting to love Jesus more.

Cecile B. De Mille was very respectful of the Bible and it was evident that he read it.

What is your excuse, Bill?

You claimed that you wrote it as an historian, so you are saying that to be objective you have to be dismissive of the truth if it just happens to be in the arena of faith?

Your historian status belies the fact that you made up stuff like the rope and the horse.

Care to blame the guy who wrote the screen version of your book?

It is not the secular-progressives who are slamming the movie, it is the Christians who have seen your movie.

Bill, you ignorant putz.

Your movie gets bad reviews because it is unbiblical and you know nothing about Christ
