But the real miracle is how modest he is.

I'd always used O'Reilly as proof that there isn't a god.

So using Bill's (let's be generous and call it logic), would an example of somebody who has every advantage from birth and ****s it up be proof of no god?

Nobody here knew that Billy O. is the second coming? We know this because he hasn't been crucified yet.
I think what he said is similar to: "This day has this prophesy been fulfilled in your eyes", or however the big "J" said it. |

Even for O'Reilly, I'm pretty sure this was tongue in cheek.

Cripes.... And the religious claim that atheists are the arrogant ones.

The more I think about it, if O'Reilly's success is proof of any supernatural being, it would have to be one more inclined to making underhanded deals.

What's that, you're saying O'Reilly's been struck down by lightning?
(reads message thread) No, obviously not. Oh. Well, then, in my book, that's reason to chalk one up on the "evidence for no god" half of the blackboard... ![]() (I hereby claim medical reasons for my dislike of opinionated media pundits...) |

O'Reilly's just a cheap, unfunny Colbert clone. I think there's a Prescott Pharmaceuticals remedy for him. (Side effects: gimlet balls; post-nasal droop, and pornographic pre-eclampsia.)

O'Reilly has a right to his theological opinion.

O'Reilly is only proof that Levittown exists and that people will watch no end of drek on television.

Ah... that explains it. God was so damn busy making Bill-o into a media star that he didn't hear the cries of Elisabeth Fritzl imprisoned in a basement for 24 years being repeatedly impregnated by her tormentor-father.
The arrogance of the holier-than-thou knows know bounds. Do they never understand how vile they sound to the faithful who didn't have their equally fervent "prayers" answered? Crediting god or Jesus for good fortune never changes my atheism, but it does sound like a backhanded slap in the face towards other believers who certainly prayed and believed just as strongly to no avail. Isn't it like saying, "ha-ha... god likes me better than you"? What sort of petty god would be dashing around answering Bill O'Reilley's prayers while ignoring the pleas of Elisabeth Fritzl and thousands of other more worthy petitioners? |

Welcome back Arti, the place has been less lively without you.
But more to the point, why are you here and not running for vice-president?

Someone tell O'Reilly Bill Gate's god is better.
