[BC] Bill O'Reilly's interesting comments

[Mike McCarthy]

Not so Rich.  You don't need a specific religious bend to feel that another 
person's rights seem to supercede to your own.  It can happen in many areas 
not even remotely related to religion.

I'm not particularly religious (certainly not evangelical), and it really 
irritates me to no end when people boil down their basis of wholly negative 
positions to their religion as being the predominant opinion setter.  And I 
suppose that's one reason why I'm so completely turned off by evangelical 
preachings and associated activities. I don't need to express/prove my 
faith, nor do I need to have it coaxed out of me either. My God will be the 
judge of that when the time comes.....

Since others have brought up this perspective....consider that Hitler and 
the Third Reich was an evangelical movement too.  It was towards a deity 
which Hitler espoused as a white supreme being.  Today, there are so many 
so call "evangelicals" out there that you have to ask the simple questions...

What is THEIR angle? What is THEIR power play? Why is it they feel that 
everyone MUST be like them/think like them in order to see the almighty 
one. It's something I hear regularly on the hundreds of translators which I 
happen to scan each time I travel outside the area here. THOSE are the 
people which concern me.

Hmmm...what are the Muslim cleric fanatics?  They also evangelical....to an 
extreme.  Maybe they're the first to arrive at that extreme point.  And 
some of these ultra conservative evangelists are not far behind.  Maybe the 
next war will be a holy war.  This time between the Baptists and the 
Muslims.  The Jews and Catholics (as will most of Europe and Asia) will sit 
it out.
