Bill O'Reilly believes Christianity is a philosophy, not a religion...

When Fox News host Bill O'Reilly spoke with the president of American Atheists - Dave Silverman - on his show the other day, O'Reilly said the following - "Mr. Silverman, it is a fact that Christianity is not a religion. It is a philosophy."

Allow me to trust the almighty one for some clarification - the dictionary.

"philosophy [fi-los-uh-fee]
noun

a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs"


"religion [ri-lij-uh n]
noun

a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."


"Christianity [kris-chee-an-i-tee]
noun

the Christian religion, including the Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox churches."


Yes, Mr. O'Reilly, Christianity is nothing more than "a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs." When I think of a story where a "perfect" man is born from a virgin woman, sacrifices himself on a cross to save mankind from sin, rises from the dead three days later, and whomever believes in this story shall live for all eternity in a paradise known as heaven while the non-believers are sent to a fiery pit known as hell, I definitely think of it as "a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs."

From this point forward, whenever O'Reilly claims that there's a war on religion in this country, I'll hope his guest responds with, "There isn't a war on a religion. There's a war on philosophy."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
