On Tuesday I happened to get an email requesting \u201cBible experts\u201d for an ongoing series of articles on the Bible and such, so I responded to the request. Billy Hallowell, Faith Editor\/Assistant Editor of The Blaze<\/em> then contacted me. He wrote,<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your participation! I will be relying upon you as a source for our ongoing Bible series. The first preview story relies upon getting your response to the following news story. Can you send a response by noon ET tomorrow? Thanks, again. Very glad to have you:<\/p>\n

Last week, something very interesting happened. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell took aim at the Bible. I have included the link here: MSNBC\u2019S LAWRENCE O\u2019DONNELL MOCKS THE BIBLE & URGES OBAMA TO EXCLUDE IT FROM THE INAUGURATION<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Laurence O\u2019Donnell, a commentator on MSNBC, the cable news channel, said some nasty and ignorant things about the Bible. If you care to waste nine and a half minutes, you can watch it by clicking on the link above.<\/p>\n

I wrote about 1800 words in response and sent it off to Billy Hallowell; today, his article reacting to Lawrence O\u2019Donnell\u2019s ignorant rant appeared and I was quoted extensively. If you\u2019d care to read the article, you can click here: FAITH EXPERTS SKEWER MSNBC\u2019S LAWRENCE O\u2019DONNELL OVER HIS ANTI-BIBLE TIRADE: \u2018AN IGNORANCE OF OUR HISTORY & DEMOCRACY\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m very pleased with how I was quoted. I was also surprised to see that the article has subsequently been reprinted verbatim on several other websites:<\/p>\n
