Today, Bill O'Reilly, a person of obvious racist makeup (he can't stop making racist comments), was explaining to a caller that the recently publicized segregated proms in Georgia were fundamentally wrong in nature and violated the meaning of America's mission. He emphasized the fact that he was calling this segregation "wrong"--not like the secularists who never call anything wrong and who don't believe in applying value judgments.

That is a ridiculous assertion. Secularists have moral values, too. And considering what the churches have done to America in the past few decades, I would say that secularists have more humane values than thousands of church-goers. (Consider for a moment the droves of churched Americans who promulgate ethnic cleansing, child abuse, hatred of various classes of people, and the cruel exploitation of non-humans.) Secularists do indeed call things right and wrong, but people like O'Reilly like to disseminate the myth that they don't.

While I'm on the subject, many people in America who are called secularists are not really secular in the true sense of the word. Pure secularism eschews the spiritual as well as the religious. In the current climate, though, the unchurched are called "secular," regardless of their spiritual leanings. To be exact, in what the president calls Amurika, non-Christians are often assumed to be secular.

In any context, Bill O'Reilly is a hypocritical, racist boor.
