Well, Jesus is a no-spin zone. Got him nailed down.

The tides go in, the tides go out, the dead go down, the dead rise up. Never a miscommunication. QED.

Checkmate atheists.

My understanding is that a box of crayons will be included with each purchase.

It will be one page, consisting of: "tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that. Take that, atheists. I win."

I see someone beat me to it. Damn.

It's all happening. Newsreaders writing about Jesus and former Mets and Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza helping to produce a movie about Jesus's main political sponsor in antiquity:

Mike Piazza will help produce a movie about Roman Emperor Constantine

Personally, even if it was God, I'm not sure I'd be that cool about it.

Anyway hope that makes it into the book.
LOL

Let's see, millions were starving, being tortured, killed, dying of horrible diseases and the work he's doing for his father means, ignoring both these suffering people AND his human father's business to slack off in the hills doing nothing.

He's off to a great start. :Cheeky:

I'm very excited about this. I'm sure we'll learn all kinds of new facts about Jesus. Like:

-Did you know that Jesus was strongly against spear control?

-Did you know that Jesus preached against giving money to the poor because it just enabled their poor choices?

-Did you know that Jesus was against universal health care? He only cured the sick on his own private time. If it had been government mandated he would have refused. He was no government lackey!

- Jesus commanded us to celebrate his birthday every December the 25th. Anyone who fails to do so is a sinner!

I have never liked Bill O'Reilly. He is so smug and a jerk and he gets ANGRY at people who have a different viewpoint than myself. Just angry.

For instance, I remember the infamous interview he had with Phil Donahue back when the Iraq War was hot in the early zeros and the subject was on Cindy Sheehan, a woman who lost her son in the war who got her 15 minutes of fame in the early 00's dabbling in left wing peace politics.

Bill O just went into Donahue left and right and Donahue was giving it right back. No debate of the issue, just Bill attacking and Phil giving it back. Bill thought he was going to bully Phil and Phil wouldn't take it. If they were younger in a bar, fists would have been thrown (with everyone cheering Phil and helping him ).

Now, I do not know Phil Donahue. He might be a raging cunt. But I think, and what everyone has said about him in his 40 year career that he is an affable, nice man who is very liberal and open minded, not to mention being happy for being rich and having the pleasure of making sweet love to Marlo Thomas for decades. I do not necessarily agree with all of his politics. But he has always come off as this intellectual midwestern guy. Pissing off Donahue with words is about as difficult as pissing off Mr. Rodgers, but Bill managed it. That is what Bill does, just attacks anyone and that is not journalism. Bill is truly the face of FOX News.

I am sure that everyone in journalistic TV media hates the man, even people who support his point of view. I also truly think a lot of people watch him BECAUSE HE IS A DICK. It's fun to be angry at someone. "Honey can we change the channel?" "No dear, I want to hear what this bastard has to say next." It's yellow media, WWE style.

It's the mainstreamization (if that's a word) of Joe Pyne.

- His blood was actually on the hands of the French
- The advice to the rich young man is a later liberal interpolation
