Bill Keller, a televangelist who sometimes debates Howard Stern on his radio show, has challenged Rosie O'Donnell to a debate over her comments about Christianity:
The “Dr. Phil of Prayer” has issued a challenge to outspoken American television star Rosie O’Donnell to defend her “anti-Christian hate speech,” surprisingly by the invitation of US radio talk show host Howard Stern.
This would be the third time Bill Keller, host of Live Prayer with Bill Keller, has spoken on the popular “shock jock’s” daily program, and he is willing to appear again to debate with O’Donnell, who he felt has had no direct challenge from Christians against her anti-religion remarks.I hope that she takes him up on it, maybe an opposing view would help her get it that there is no such thing as a radical Christian (a radical Christian, who takes there religion to an extreme would be demonstrating love, not hate). Christianity doesn't lead to suicide bombers for a reason.
[...]Keller has asserted that O’Donnell, an openly lesbian star and co-host of ABC’s The View, has continually criticized Christianity and the internet/television evangelist said he will specifically respond to her comments that Christianity is “no different than radical Islam.”
Last year, days after the observance of Sept. 11, O'Donnell had shocked co-hosts and audiences when she said on The View, "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have a separation of church and state. We're a democracy here."

Keller has gained his unusual connection to Stern following a debate he had with the “shock jock” last month, when they quarreled with one another for about 20 minutes on topics ranging from homosexuality to adultery to pre-marital sex. The radio personality liked the debate so much that he invited the prayer evangelist back to host his Live Prayer show – which is the only live call-in, faith-based television show that is broadcasted on only secular television channels – directly over his own.
Keller returned on Mar. 26 and ran his show with his normal format, and received telephone calls from some of Stern’s more difficult listeners.
