The Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report did a hilarious bit last week on the up coming "War on Easter" a spoof of the ridiculous "War on Christmas" stir up by O'Lielly.
Turns out the comedians can't even write their satire ridiculous or mocking enough to stay ahead of the standard news concocted at FOX.
Transcript:
Meacham: The secular battle against Christmas, against Easter, against those kinds of things that you're talking about-against "Under God" in the pledge..
O'Reilly: You don't deny that battle is taking place?
Meacham: No...

So we have the overt Comedy Channel, and then we have FOX news which can be just as funny except for the fact that about 1/3 of the nation takes FOX seriously, and that isn't funny. It's dangerous.

I wouldn't count John in there. He was obviously very jealous of the Big J's relationship with anybody else, especially Judas (that's where all the serious Judas=betrayer comes from) and Mary Magdalene (the other stories have Mary actually seeing Jesus, while John just has her reporting his body missing). I mean, come on, John referred to himself as "the disciple Jesus loved" - if that isn't if that's not possessiveness to the point of obsession, I don't know what is.

You have to. "John" tells his version of the story in chapters 20-21, and to win the prize, you have to make all of the pieces fit, or at least show that they do not contradict other pieces. If the Bible were truly inerrant, the stories would be at least consistent and the verses could be put together in a timeline that doesn't contradict itself.
Our money is safe.
