Bryan Fischer is furious with Bill O’Reilly over his recent statement that opponents of marriage equality do nothing but “thump the Bible” as Fischer ripped into him on his radio program yesterday, calling O’Reilly “blindly ignorant” of all the non-Scriptural arguments opponents of gay marriage have made.
