Mark Goodacre<\/a>,\u00a0 Chris Skinner<\/a>,\u00a0and Chris Keith<\/a> all shared the above video and offered some comments on it.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly seems not to be aware of Luke 14:33<\/a>: \u201cthose of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.\u201d<\/p>\n

I love that O\u2019Reilly doesn\u2019t know the word \u201canachronistic\u201d and yet thinks he can discuss history. It explains why he can nonchalantly assert that Jesus disliked the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

All of the above reflects very much an American perspective on these things. And so for those in the UK, here is Anglican Memes\u2019 reworking of a recent politicians\u2019 statement on your side of the Atlantic, depicting the Daily Mail as accusing Jesus\u2019 Father of being a Britain-hating socialist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
