Well, it's that time of year, so O'Reilly will be dusting off the "War on Christmas" in which evil liberals would deny the kiddies their tree and stockings and more importantly, the name of the birthday boy, Christ.
Nasty non-believers are so repulsed by the name of our Lord, that they would “X” out his name and call the holiday xmas. Have they no decency?
Both of my readers I suspect have some training in theology, so you see where this is going. Of course, in Greek, Christ starts with an X. The secret symbols of the early church often used the X, or a combined alpha/chi or the fish symbol to mark meeting places.
I don’t so much mind the invective of the War on Christmas opposers. But the historical ignorance is really appalling.
Bumper sticker seen today:
God was my copilot. But we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him.

It's hard to imagine someone more detached from reality as Bill O'Reilly. The last time that I actually watched O'Reilly was when he talked with Ron Paul. Dr. Paul tried to explain how WWI and the formation of the National Security state has led to the current state of affairs in the Middle East. O'Reilly's response: "We don't want a history lesson, answer the question."
Hey Ben! good to hear from you again!
Maybe Pat Robertson read Kurt Vonnegaut and realised that a persecuted church is the only way to really be a church. Perhaps he wants to Bokomaru...with you!
and another thing...is that bumper sticker connected to transubstantiation? It seems like there is a metaphor there to my life...which crashed and burned...then was saved when the "copilot" creator offered himself up as a propitiation and I partook of him and lived.
