Bill O'Reilly: But the Judeo-Christian philosophy isn't a myth. It's reality.

What is this?

You guys realize that the Westboro Baptist Church just exists to provoke people and get them to assault its members, right? Ignorezies, Ignorezies, Ignorezies. Unless you’re the IRS. In which case, AUDITZIES.
