“You’re a 10-foot-tall crybaby”: Bill O’Reilly destroyed by another Fox host over “War on Christianity” claims - Salon.com


Here's the deal, if religionist want my respect, then treat me with respect.  Quit calling for my (daily) execution because of who I love.  Quit ostracizing me for my beliefs while forcing your theocracy down my throat.  Quit with the platitude of "my church isn't like THAT."  Your silence speaks louder.
On “The O’Reilly Factor” last night, Bill O’Reilly tried to browbeat Fox Business host John Stossel for claiming that Christianity is not under attack in America today — needless to say, it did not go as O’Reilly planned.

Stossel came out swinging, acknowledging that while there are some issues that Christians can legitimately complain about, when it comes to O’Reilly’s “War on Christianity,” the Fox host is “just a 10-foot-tall crybaby.” After noting that Christians are not being killed on the streets of America for professing their faith, O’Reilly could only reply, “No, not yet.”

Not ever, according to Stossel, but O’Reilly was having none of it, insisting that Christians “are being verbally killed.”

“So what?” an exasperated Stossel shot back. “Eighty-three percent of the country identifies as Christian,” he continued, before adding that if there’s any truth to their being “a War on Christianity,” the Christians have clearly won.

“It’s not a matter of winning,” O’Reilly replied, “it’s a matter of respect.” After listing some of the battles he’s led in this war — against department stores that asked employees to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas,” for example — he railed against the “secularists” who claim “religion is bad” because it stands in the way of “unfettered abortion,” gay marriage, and legalized marijuana.

Stossel, who identifies as a secularist, replied that he doesn’t think access to “unfettered abortions” is really a plank in the secular agenda. O’Reilly countered that if that’s true, then secularists need to stop being mean to religious people, especially when it comes to one particular word.
