Doubling down are you, Mr. O’Reilly? Why are you being defensive? According to you, the “stupid” free speech conference lead by Ms. Geller in Garland Texas was legal but not “the right thing to do”. Suddenly, Bill O’Reilly and Franklin Graham are the moral conscience of America? With all due respect to the both of you, some of us question if any of us are worthy of that lofty perch.
Once that claim is made, one becomes accountable for the truth and vulnerable to criticism resulting from the slightest impropriety in what we may do or say. No living human being, no prophet or spiritual leader has earned the right to so speak with the authority of life and limb, except Jesus. You ought to write another book about the prophet Muhammad entitled, “Killing Christians”.
That brings us to your assertion that is the burr under my saddle. Somehow, you assert that Jesus is in your corner and not with those of us who praise Ms. Geller. You must be under a lot of pressure to make that assertion for such an argument denotes weakness. It has been used by the proponents of every new thing that has been dumped upon we believers in Jesus over the last two thousand years. It is the lamest of excuses for an opinion.
Mr. O’Reilly, you assert that Jesus would not go to that conference in Garland Texas. Jesus did not mock others. Mr. O’Reilly, you don’t know your Bible and your history is suspect. Jesus mocked the religious establishment at every turn, on Judean hillsides, at the River Jordan, from a fishing boat on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, around a well in Samaria and on the Jericho road. By standing up for the people, by speaking of the God who loved the little people, Jesus mocked the religious radicalism of his day.
Jesus is here today and asking believers to mock the forces of evil Muslim religious radicalism. Mr. O’Reilly, please reconsider.
