David Barton: The Bible Has The Answer to Everything

[jdgrab1]

The best line:"The Bible has much to say about astronomy" Yeah...all wrong. This is a joke...right? This guy is a comedian doing a bit...right? Please tell me he's not serious.

[aprox23]

David Barton is a straight-up liar!

[jfsfrnd]

Seven Mountain Strategy. Look it up. Barton just spoke about this on one of his latest radio shows.

[jfsfrnd]

So that's where Barton is getting the information that current issues all go back to the Bible - from 200 YEAR OLD SERMONS?

[jfsfrnd]

Keep it in your church.

[TouchOfGreatness]

What is this crazy-man talking about?!? The Bible has much to say about transportation, astronomy, taxes, patriotism??? Is this guy nuts?

[Purianite]

There is no god, which is why the church and state should stay separate: The Christians who want to control Washington are mentally ill.

[1coyotelightning]

This is embarrassing  Does he happen to have a sermon on critical thinking skills? I think his audience might need to hear something about what the words "critical thinking" means...and I don't think little Davie here is capable of delivering the goods on that one. What a mockery of both history and religion. Shameful.

[MsGingergingercat]

I'm wondering: he keeps associating himself with Xtians of times long (Long!) past: "We were preaching about (X) even then!". Does he similarly associate himself with the crusades, heretical trials, witch burnings, etc., vis a vis say, the Malleus Malificarium (sic) and similar works?

David Barton..A Truely great American. Keep you the good work Dave, tell it like it is, err... Was.

[chuckfrasher]

David Barton is such a kook.

[FairCogent]

Here's a sermon on how to beat your slave. Here's a sermon on how demons cause disease. Here's a sermon on how to execute wayward sons and promiscuous daughters. Here's a sermon on women as property. Here's one on pacifism.

Oh wait, sorry, that last one was clearly Jesus just being metaphorical. Carry on.

[mydh122]

At 1:22, he says that there was a sermon "on every issue of the day." Somehow, I don't think that DNA, high speed rail or special relativity were issues back in the mid-1700s. So the title of this video is incorrect. In the name of fairness, it would be good to change the misleading title.Then we can critique this video more accurately.

[stephenexmachina]

where's the sermon on special relativity???

[a300pilotster]

And if you do not follow my gods rules he will send you to hell.

[Pernic10us]

He seems to have forgot about the sermon on magnets, and the miracle of how they work.

[xchoexhoecxoechx]

"God has lots of transportation principles in the bible!" I wonder what the fare was for a flaming chariot ride from Bethlehem to Jericho.

[whoo689]

Execution sermon?? Oh, god

That's PERFECT for the Old Testament, though! They LOVED execution, especially for things as insignificant as sodomy and eating shrimp.

[whoo689]

Do these "transportation principles" in the Bible include emphasizing the importance of things like high-speed rail and public transit??

Dumbass

[whoo689]

Barton must REALLY be stretching the limits of what the OT actually says. I've glossed over it so many times, and I STILL cannot remember ever hearing half the shit he says ever being mentioned there. Most of it was just God being a fucking prick and always punishing the Jews for being "unfaithful' and "immoral" in his eyes. 

[whoo689]

The Christian Patriot? I'm sure the teabaggers would LOVE that one.

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

@whoo689 And they do. He's rather popular with them.

[DcEatsItsYoung]

What does the bible say about DNA? Or about micro-bacterial organisms?

[rjc34]

Sure, you guys can go back to the 18th century if you want, explaining everything with the bible. The rest of us will be over here with all the riches modern science has brought us. Have fun dying at 40 because there's no modern medicine to help you out. Oh wait, it's all in gods plan anyway, isn't it? So just pray or something ,you'll be fine. We'll be waiting for an apology when you realize you miss the internet, medicine, electricity, etc etc.

[Dar0A0Nakk]

Again - Thankyou for informing us on these people - you have a new Sub

[BigMidget06]

lol what a dumbass. makes me feel better about being atheist.

[chodaboy51500]

Christianity: Telling you what you should think for hundreds of years.

[claudiaquat]

Do you have a sermon supporting slavery? I really would like to read that.

[MisterDoctorE]

Murder and rape, injustice, killing children.. eternal torture.. the bible loves it

[FairCogent]

Yeah yeah yeah, we already know all of that crap. What we REALLY need to know is how to properly beat our slaves. We really need to get this country back to the Bible, after all!

[AllOfTheRestWillFlow]

Yeah, I'm sure ALL these sermons were just a guy going up to the pulpit and quoting directly from the Bible. There's no interpretation involved, and religious leaders never added their own opinions, for fear that God would hit them with lightning. Get lost, Barton.

[06mustangCE]

Keep it up asshole, get ready to have all churches pay taxes. Which is LONG overdue anyway.

[whoo689]

What do you mean, "What does the Bible say about elections?" NOT A DAMN THING, you moron!

The old Israeli state was a MONARCHY! There were no elected leaders, for christ sake.

[whoo689]

what a FUCKING dumbass! No, the Bible does NOT say all that shit. Stop making shit up, you retarded monkey.

Jesus Christ, were the earliest Americans REALLY that nutty?? "I'm gonna write a sermon about how such-and-such event has to do with biblical values and standards"

[voyzovrezon]

@whoo689 That's what the Christian right wants. They want a theocratic ruler. Elections are so secular.
