Alert!
O'Reilly flogs Christians as 'religious fanatics'
Popular talk show host comes out in favor of homosexual rightsAmerican
Family Association said today it was disappointed in popular talk show
host Bill O'Reilly for his comments on September 3 labeling
Bible-believing Christians "fanatics."
"Mr. O'Reilly makes a living
using a hard-nosed, take-no-prisoners approach in his interviews, and
that's why people love his show. But he crossed the line on his show
Tuesday night," said AFA Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. "There's no need to
be insulting to the millions of Americans who believe the Bible and have
an honest and sincere love for Jesus Christ. Why such an intelligent man
would stoop to such personal attacks is beyond us."
On his
September 3 installment of The
O'Reilly Factor, the fiery host bludgeoned guest Stephen Bennett for his Christian
beliefs about homosexuality. Bennett is himself an ex-gay who has founded
a ministry to homosexuals. (To read transcript of program, CLICK

"We live in a secular society, you're a religious
fanatic, with all due respect," he told Bennett. When his guest objected
to the characterization, O'Reilly repeated, "You're a religious
fanatic."
O'Reilly's views about homosexuality - and especially
about Christians who believe what the Bible says about that lifestyle -
became an issue after he granted an interview to The Advocate, a magazine
which targets the "gay" community. In that interview O'Reilly called
Bible-believing Christians "Holy Rollers" and "fanatics" who want
homosexuals to go to hell. He also said he was in favor of the full range
of "gay" rights demanded by the homosexual community.
"If Mr.
O'Reilly wants to claim to be a Christian while rejecting orthodox
Christian beliefs and the Bible, that's his business," Wildmon said. "But
he's making a big mistake by being insulting to Christians who are
faithful to Christ. We hope people will let him know how they
feel."

ACTION NEEDED1.
Contact Bill O'Reilly to let him know that Bible-believing Christians are
not "religious fanatics." His email address is: oreilly@foxnews.com.
2. Pray
for Bill O'Reilly to understand God's Word on homosexuality. Mr. O'Reilly
has a tremendous influence on America's culture. Pray his influence will
be one of Biblical truth, rather than secular
opinion.
