Lawrence O'Donnell strongly criticizes biblical literalism on primetime television

Damn. I couldn't believe this when I was watching it earlier. Usually whenever religion is brought up in media, it's either portrayed neutrally or positively. After Glenn Beck bashes O'Donnell for not "fearing God," O'Donnell points out his twelve years of religious education, mocks Beck for telling his audience that it's the end of the world, and says flatout that the Book of Revelations is utter nonsense. It's not necessarily religion-bashing, as much as he's simply pointing out that there's nothing wrong with modern Christianity ignoring the things that make no sense. This guy also proudly proclaimed himself to be a socialist a few months back, so good on him for proclaiming his controversial opinions without fear.
