The whole U.S.A is like watching a train wreck happen.

While you’re standing on the tracks, with your boot stuck in between the ties…

How do you read the comments? When I click the button the article moves to the side and gets a gray background, ak no comments.

I had to turn off my ad blocker to see them. Couldn’t reactivate it fast enough.

Hmm. I think Bogart has the best retort on the subject of Nazis invading New York.

I keep wondering where Ed Snowden is going to end up in all this.

The death penalty should be abolished, full stop. The thing is, no matter how “well” the actual execution goes, it’s a risky, fraught, and ultimately pointless punishment.

Awful.

He has 4 degrees!

[ETA: He’s awesome and what happened to him is fucked up.]

Can you provide context? Alas I don’t recognize the guy. I assume the woman on the left is a typical FoxPod.

Aslan was on Fox, promoting his book about Jesus, and she asked what a Muslim was doing writing a book about Jesus… Of course he has 4 degrees in religious studies, which he says at several points in the interview…

The book on Jesus is very good, btw.

Thanks!

Don’t these folks know that an outsider’s view is often useful? Especially if they have academic creds . . . oh, wait, of course not. It’s Fox.

Not to mention that Jesus is part of Islam, just not the way he is in Christianity.

Want to really see a right-wing Christian’s head explode, see them talk about Jesus with a neo-Pagan. Jesus is generally respected for his shamanism (it’s St. Paul who doesn’t fare so well), and a lot of neo-Pagans come from Christian backgrounds.

I’m impressed he managed to spit all those (considerable) credentials out before she interrupted him.

Beware of any group called “Ultras.”

Reza Aslan is a former Evangelical Christian.

mindysan33 · August 20, 2018, 4:04pm

And he has FOUR DEGREES!!!

I’m sorry… I just find that endlessly funny, that he has to say that at all…
