Olympic Games and the Bible is on that
list I kid you not organizers are citing
security reasons Christians not
surprisingly are outraged now internet
evangelist Bill Keller is calling for a
boycott of the Olympics um first of off
I didn't believe this was true until I
confirmed that it was the logic was that
it might incite violence um what do you
think of that well Neil it's good to be
with you again you know I've got to tell
you something first a country that was
founded on religious freedoms the state
department really has no choice but to
use this as an opportunity to put our
very appearance at the Olympics on the
table you know you're the business Guru
you can tell us what the uh trade
deficit is and apparently we don't have
a lot of Leverage in trying to even that
out but we have a lot of Leverage with
our athletes with our television with
the viewership with the dollars that
we're going to bring to the table and if
this country is going to insist on
Banning the Bible then I think it's time
for our country to respond and say
listen you want to ban the Bible then we
aren't showing up well you know Bill I
would go one step for what I couldn't
get an answer to before coming up here
so it might not be that it's not the
case just that I didn't get an answer is
whether the Quran is similarly uh sworn
off that list um interesting though the
Quran wasn't on that list so all right
then if that is the case uh you you you
have to wonder what kind kind of tone is
is is here and and who that's being
preached to well he here here's what's
really happening uh Neil we send out
about two and a half million emails a
day to our subscribers around the world
we have worked hard to evangelize via
the Internet into into China and the
isps that allow mail into China are all
owned by the government every email we
send that has a Christ has Christian
content is immediately wiped off the
servers they never get to their
destination so I really believe that
this is a slap at Christians at the
Christian faith at those who believe
Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved
and I think this country the government
of this country needs to show some
leadership and say listen you don't want
our Bible in your country then you don't
need our athletes in in your country but
we're not going to do that and and then
the message to China is we're okay doing
this right you can do whatever you hey
you know what though how can you blame
China when you have people like Kathy
Griffin and Bill Maher and George Carlin
who make millions of dollars a year
bashing Christians I mean all they got
to do is turn on our turn on our
television and they can see that
Christians are fair a game here so why
not over there well Bill you rais a very
good point good good series of points
Bill Kell thank you very much take
