Bill O’Reilly’s Christianism – And Breivik’s, Ctd

Pareene deconstructs the Fox News host's blinkered argument:

Does [Breivik] go to church? Does he believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ? Is he a biblical literalist? I have no idea. There's plenty about him that would lead a devout Christian to consider Breivik "not a 'real' Christian." Here's the thing about that: The same is true of all self-proclaimed Muslims who commit acts of terrorism.

He's a sick perversion of Christianity, sure. But if he "doesn't count" as a Christian solely because no one this evil should "count" as a Christian (which is O'Reilly's other argument — "no one believing in Jesus commits mass murder," he said) then no terrorist should "count" as a representative of his faith.
