This is a Christian "world view" perspective Blog with videos, sermons and teachings from the Bible which is our hope and my faith. The focus here is to show how current world events are the reason why we need to have a greater understanding about ourselves and the world around us. The Bible once humbly studied, is a history book of God's relationship to human kind throughout the ages and human kind's purpose on the Earth.

Bill O'Rielly's "Spin on Religion"-
See here Bill's reaction to Graham's discernment of Rob Bell
(who affirms homosexuality and openly claims there is no Hell despite the very clear teachings in the Bible).
Bill takes on the same stale and lame non-believer arguments proving that he doesn't know anything about Orthodox Christian doctrines:
-"What if a person doesn't know who Jesus Christ is?"
First of all, WHO and what group of people hasn't heard of Jesus Christ OR Christianity?
That's the first rebuttal I would have asked Mr. O'Rielly. What "people in history" is Bill referring to?
- O'Rielly throws Graham a monkey wrench to divert the subject on God manifesting Himself to mankind by saying that God will reveal Himself "in some way" depending on some external manifestation as "proof".
Then O'Rielly goes into the issue of all the "Good" people who die completely showing his ignorance of the Godly standard of what "Good" is; again, clearly spoken by Christ in Luke 18:19.
Mr. O'Riely stands firm and stern on what he can "imagine" or accept regarding God's sovereignty; Just like many who in their arrogance and pride make themselves out to be their own God by setting their own standards.
And then he closes his comments appealing to human logic just like the Greeks did in the Apostle Paul's day.
He says he has faith in a "just god". Sadly, He's that god... but he's far from just.
Bill asks Mr. Graham that if "innocent" people don't believe in Christ because of what their parents believe, or because Jesus didn't reveal Himself to them or they didn't know about him ... " I can't imagine that they're damned".
Who is innocent in God's eyes Mr. O'Riely?
"There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
- Luke 13
Bill O'Rielly considers himself Roman Catholic but even catholicism answers most of the questions he seems to get Biblically wrong here.
Pride always goes before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)
" As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one". - Romans 3:10
Unless we repent, we will ALL likewise perish.
