Fox News host Bill O’Reilly knocked opponents of same sex marriage on Tuesday night, claiming they had a weak argument that relied entirely on religious beliefs.

The conservative Fox News host was discussing two cases before the Supreme Court regarding same sex marriage with his colleague Megyn Kelly.

During the segment, O’Reilly remarked that public policy should be based on religion. Kelly responded by saying that arguments against same sex marriage were not very persuasive when the religious element was removed.

“I agree with you 100 percent, the compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals,” O’Reilly said. “That is where the compelling argument is. We’re Americans, we just want to be treated like everybody else.”

“That’s a compelling argument, and to deny that you’ve got to have a very strong argument on the other side. And the other side hasn’t been able to do anything but thump the Bible.”

“I support civil unions, I always have,” he added. “The gay marriage thing, I don’t feel that strongly about it one way or the other. I think the states should do it.”

Man, you know the homophobes are in trouble if even O'Reilly gets it.

Clearly, Bill O'Reilly is just doing this for political gain, like everyone else.

But that would be their backup argument if the bible thumbing fails, "those people scare me".

You should never be scared of them. After all they are all about spreading the gospel and the teachings of Jesus...

I'm not afraid of bible thumpers, I was saying the bible thumpers next argument will be those people scare me, when quoting the bible fails. Calling it Defense of Marriage is so far from reality as it can possibly get. No one is asking that traditional marriage be banned.

Its funny how in politics, laws and bills get named to create an impression which isn't true. Defense of Marriage Act, doesn't defend marriage, it attempts to ignore marriages they don't agree with. Affordable Care Act, had little in it to make medical care more affordable, all efforts to include such measures were stripped out long before it passed. Instead its an attempt to create universal medical coverage.

Of course they will... and failing that they will use children as an excuse... and following that there will be argument of marrying a plant or a pet.. and following that some other cockamamie excuse will be used, and so forth...

Ignorance and bigotry are self-serving and self-perpetuating!
