Fox News: Worst interview ever...
 

Kudos to that guy for not flat out telling her that she's a fucking moron.

I'm confused :skep: Is he a PHD?!!? I don't think he ever mentioned it :lol:

I do like his statement about being confused as to why they aren't discussing the book. But, rather the credentials of the author. :lol

They had his credentials validated within the first two minutes of the interview... the other 8 were ridiculous. I think it's a valid question to take his faith into account, but after hearing his background all I could think was, "ok, so what's the book about?"

This is hilarious. She is wanting to make this huge controversy and he just wants to promote his book.

Yeah that was a fail on HIS part....he could have addressed his conversion from Christianity and the relevance it apparently had on HIM. But then, if he HAD, that would have shown bias, so I can see why he avoided it.

Everyone has an agenda, it doesn't matter how much education you have on the subject. Personal bias will always be in play if you are human. All education does is making you have more believeable bullshit.

Ther first problem is that Fox News believes theres some kind of Islam/Chrisianity rivalry going on.

Fixed :lol:

Quoted for irony. :lol

ha ha, I am going to pretend to blame my iphone. When it spell checks me, it does all sorts of weird shit with my fat fingering.

Comical interview based on stupid arguments but at least the guy will sell more books from the publicity

I think that it's also a valid question to ask why the commentary that she was quoting, that was negative about his book, only seemed to come from people who support the notion of the death and resurrection, and deification of Christ? How do you call this guy's impartiality into question by bringing up the likes of William Lane Craig?

Fox really should leave the Hannitying to Hannity and O'Brien, as they clearly have no one else who's schooled in ambush journalism.

LOL, he so manipulated Fox News.

I wouldn't say 'manipulated', so much as 'played.' He just used what he knew that they would do, to generate controversy. 'Manipulated' implies that they did something that they wouldn't normally do :lol:

His family is pretty much secular, not very religious. They just kind of call grandma on the holidays and maybe say they don't like to eat pork because they don't like it.
They moved here during the Iranian revolution and when Aslan turned 15 he announce that he was Evangelical christian to his parents because 15 years olds do the damnedest things when they are trying to fit in at school.

He goes off to Harvard where he discovers that all the Evangelical friends he had at home are morons and decides to go back to celebrating holidays with the family and calling grandma on holidays because they are paying his fucking bills while he is in school.

So in the case of the Amazon reviews, all the Evangelicals are tying to pull a Scientology on the guy.

No, I think it fits with this definition quite perfectly, especially the tool part...

1. handle or control (a tool, mechanism, etc.), typically in a skillful manner.

Are you manipulating someone if you set a trap, and they walk into it? Nawwww.

Depends on how you get them into the trap.

Well in this case he did it just by showing up.

Yeah, he was the one that wanted to do it. He read the fox news article and knew they wanted to focus on his faith, so he tried to direct the conversation away from the topic that got him the interview in the first place. A scholar writing a book about jesus is hardly interesting. Look at the number of sources he said, they were clearly interested in his faith and he wouldn't have ever ended up on any news channel or seller list without it. He definitely manipulated the situation to get his book noticed more.

:lmao: Bravo.

Even if he wasn't, you know, a PhD Biblical Scholar, everyone seems to forget that Jesus was also a prophet to Islam.

Christianity should just take some lessons from Islam and force this guy into hiding by trying to kill him, lol.

Sure. After all, they've already done it to abortion doctors.

Seems to be more effective for the Muslims, Family Guy and South Park episodes got shot down... Those Dutch cartoonists are probably still in hiding. Seems like it works pretty well.

Lack of follow-through. A few rifle bullets to the head, the odd bombing, or arson can't compare to suicide bombing, for pure dedication.
