RE: Decline In Religion Frightens Bill O’Reilly

Given the pressure the Church still exerts on people, I'd say there are far more nonbelievers than are willing to say so. If Bill knew the real numbers, he'd piss his pants.
He blames secular television? Think of that 15 year old sees gay men kissing on a sit-com and decides she doesn't want to have a personal relationship with Jesus anymore after she reads in the bible how the disciple he loved leaned on his breast. Jesus had breasts? Maybe this belongs in area 69.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I doubt that the decline in religion is what's frightening this goon. More likely, it's the increase in thinking.

Same difference. It's all one to me.
