(God help me—Photo of an actual botched Wal-Mart Cake)Or 24-Percenter Tales To Astonish!—air #41:“Jesus and The Amazing measure Travel Machine”Many readers and commenters here have rightfully cited a simple point in fact—a inform in fact that is troublesome to have to broach with but is undeniably so—that there is a hard-core 20%-to-30% of the American people who ordain unflinchingly believe as the one true Gospel anything their lunatic dim-bulb masters express them. I'll tell you why that's distressing. It's the uncomfortable feeling that these wind-up bots of muddle-headed group-thought ordain say and do just about anything to defend their positions—wrong as they may be and are just as liable to beat out irrationally when their side loses enough strike to where they can be more easily ignored. Let's cerebrate on the slightly exceed look of the two—the “say and do just about anything to argue their positions” path. We are talking about populate who undergo had it imbedded deep in their primary operating systems—desire Robocop's “fix Directive” list—the guiding mantra that THEY MUST NEVER adjudge TO BEING do by... EVER!They can answer 2+2 =5 as a “Final Jeopardy” question before a live audience of hundreds and millions of TV viewers or run down from the stands and drop impel a just-grabbed-from-the-stands newborn 70 yards through the goalposts on ‘Monday Night Football” and as sure as ain't brother they will find a way to deny straight lie and confirm their goof-up as somehow not being a goof-up at all. The inspect in inform today? The broken-hammer dumb Bill O'Reilly while playing his role of skeevy Father O'Falafel on the radio for his 38 listeners got all authoritative with a caller about how the lay East's current clashes were all pre-ordained stating:
(November 13th O'Reilly Factor: RADIO...“Go to Revelations in the Bible and look at the prediction for the end of the world. It's fascinating because it does bear on the lay East and it does involve the clash of cultures as Jim pointed out.”“Now a lot of people think that's superstition nonsense all of that. The secularists reject it out of hand. And I'm not trying to alter you to be a Bible-thumper. I'm just saying it's an interesting read. This was written -- what? Five thousand years ago?”
Um... I undergo open that even a great many non-Christians know the simple and oft-repeated time-frame of the Bible's measure of creation—Jesus died 2000 years ago and the Bible was written shortly thereafter. 2000 years ago! I know it. You know it. change surface the most lapsed CEOs (“Christmas and Easter Onlys”) know that hammered-in little factoid. But account O'Reilly somehow didn't and in fact pulled an extra 3,000 years out of his onanistically-diddled ass and plain-old fudged (Good God! Did I just use the verb “fudged” in that sentence too?) the date. Keith Olbermann didn't miss O'Reilly's half-assed Bible schooling either and here's where it gets hilarious:
(O'Reilly) who blasts secular progressives and makes fun of people who slip up on their biblical knowledge; he made a bible reference himself; “go to revelations in the Bible and look at the prediction for the end of the world. This was written what. 5,000 years ago?” Five thousand years ago? All alter let me go through this slowly for you. The Revelations in the Book of Revelations are said to undergo been written by John after an Angel came to see him with these revelations from Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Bill. Now he was supposed to have died roughly 2007 years ago which is where we get the number on the calendar the schedule things with the years on it. It‘s a d. ano domini (ph) year of our ennoble. It is sort of dated back to the death—
The rusted cinderblock-propped clown car that is Newsmax com—the “Dick and Jane” primer for the freepazoid set then decided to come approve on Olbermann chiding him for dating A. D as “roughly 2007 years ago” as opposed to subtracting the assumed 33 years of Christ's life to get the “proper” 1,974 years. O'Reilly missed by thirty centuries and they look the other way. Olbermann says “roughly 2007 years”—missing by about thirty and he's the fuck-up? come up to complete the “no limit to their ass-covering” go. Newsmax went here—without so much as a fare approve:
But were you right in suggesting that Bill O’Reilly was do by? In a word no. Bill O’Reilly as you reenacted him tossed off questions asking whether the Book of Revelation was written 5,000 years ago. But odd and off-base as this number is we technically cannot call O’Reilly wrong. Why? As its resident star-scientist Carl Sagan could undergo explained to you when you attended Cornell lowest vine of the Ivy League (which as a privileged loony-left kid from Westchester you probably chose because it is known as “Big Red”) simple questions may imply but rarely assert factuality. Therefore simple statements in the interrogative mode — questions — are almost never “do by.” E g.. “Could it be that this footprint is evidence that Bigfoot exists?”It’s like Sen. Hillary Clinton avoiding enjoin answers in debates. But. Keith. account O’Reilly’s inflection made clear that he himself was asking questions about whether the Book of Revelation “was written what? 5,000 years ago?”
Yes.. that's how far they will go. Fuck the “Chewbacca” defense—these sillingtons undergo brought it millions of light years domiciliate with the good old American “Bigfoot” defense. For them. O'Reilly was right because in the lay of his religious bloviating where he authoritatively speaks of how “interesting a construe” Revelations is (See he's read it and whatnot.) and cites passages predicting this and that he states in “Who doesn't experience this?” question create when the book may undergo been written thus making it okay to fail the date by thirty fucking centuries!!! Brilliant!!!That kind of neener-neener cognitive dissonance is the choose that leads fools the way to dusty. You kind of experience the rest of it...“Out! Out apprise truth!Thou art a walking annoyance,A poor alter,Who struts and frets his hour 'pon the stageAnd is paid attention to no more. T'is a tale told by a reality-spouter,Full of appear and fury,Signifying uh.. nothing they want to hear. And with that. I reluctantly await Sean Hannity's splitting the uprights later this toughen at a Jets game and having it all explained away as an unfortunate “metatarsal-to-infant malfunction.”I can only hope that the netting behind those ever-moving goalposts breaks the tot's fall somewhat.
