Bill O’Reilly “wrote” a “book” about killing Jesus -- it is cleverly called Killing Jesus -- and someone thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a teevee movie, because no one has ever made a Jesus snuff flick before. On Monday, O’Reilly giddily reported that the movie was “the most watched program ever on the National Geographic channel.” That right there ought to prove O’Reilly’s god-given genius. But of course some liberals refuse to praise O’Reilly for his fine scholarly work. The fact that millions of people tuned in to watch the the horror show is, according to O’Reilly, “very bad news for the secular progressive movement, which sees Christian expositions as a threat to their political agenda.”
Coptic Christians in the middle east? PFF! They've never had their books made into teevee shows -- and then panned by critics! Like they would even know what 'open season' means!
My Republican mother was in town, and wanted to watch it. I, however, was on the Wonkettes the whole time. But, each time I looked up, it was pretty homoerotic. And the takeaway I got was that Jesus prayed out in a boat to catch some fish with some dude, and it "worked" (bunch of fish started jumping in a net), and he declared himself a big deal, and got people to start following him.
The one review I read - in Salon - written by a self-proclaimed Christian - mainly criticized it as a boring, uninspired and tepid retelling, hardly indistinguishable from previous story-of-Christ movies. I'm an agnostic, but Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ is one of my favorite movies, because it made me think about the story in new ways, and the artistry of the storyteller was evident all the way through. I'm betting that the "Bill O'Reilly is just boring" criticism is the one that really hurts, because it's true.
... whenever I hear Bilious O'Really use "bloviate" when talking about himself, I'm reminded of that endless meme, you know... the Inigo Montoya quote.

In Bill's version, does Jesus have a loofah and a Swedish airline stewardess?

Back in the day Jesus supported a law which made it legal to not make cakes for lepers.
Can't we just cut to the scene with Jeebus & Mary Magdalene in the shower with the loofah?
how do i get in on the whores and reefer action?
harder!
Bill, its not that you are a christian, its that you are an insufferable dick and a hack.
... right after he left the smithy when he was done forging the nails.
Great. Now I need to go buy another keg of bleach, to throw in my eyes.
I am beginning to think that he is not an intelligent man.

...meh, I thought he would be the guy with the spear
... whenever Bill-O talks about Jesus, this is what I see:
