I kind of feel bad for the presenter. I think that she has no idea of what academic scholarship is, and am willing to bet that she is somewhat vague on Christianity as far as it's a field of study. I willing to bet that she doesn't have much respect for journalism in general, probably hoping to be tough and move up the chain.

She came off as a bigoted buffon and I'm willing to bet she is. The producers should never have had her give that interview, there was no possibility that some fool anchor woman could challenge a guy like that on religion. Reza Aslan reminded me of a very tolerant teacher dealing with a passionate but dim witted student. I've sat through way too many classroom tolerance demonstrations, they are usually about this painful.
