Why do people listen to David Barton? He has been caught lying many times, why do people even still bother listening to him?

"The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text ... that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds." - T. Jefferson, letter to John Adams, Jan 24, 1814

There is no way Barton is sincere. Search his site, wallbuilders, for John Adams letter to Benjamin Rush. If you read the whole thing, it's very clear that Adams is against the idea of the holy ghost. But Barton claims the opposite, I've seen videos of him in churches blatantly claiming this. He claims the president was being sincere about the holy ghost, not telling of the the presidents obvious sarcasm, he HAS to know better. Seriously, read the whole letter yourself.

@ToddAldrich ''FOUNDERS knew that a citizenry that believed was VITAL to our freedoms''

Believed in what? And where did Jefferson say that? Citation please.

@ToddAldrich Who said I was trying to force my beliefs onto you. I am just showing you how wrong your beliefs are. If you are too scared to leave them, then that is up to you.

If you want to keep believing in things that are wrong, then go right ahead. But don't get mad when people laugh at your beliefs that have been proven wrong over and over again. You will only think we are attacking you, but this is only to save face!

[srexob715]

@ToddAldrich And again. If what you said were true, then women would have been treated MORALLY via equality. SADLY, this is not the case!

[srexob715]

@ToddAldrich Isn't it funny that IF what you said were true and that our beliefs in religion(god) were vital to our freedoms, then I wonder why women were not allowed to vote during a time when religion prevailed over our nation.

If our founders were so religious and if they used the religion to govern this country, then they governed and accepted the fact that women were treated unequally................which goes against your 'vital to freedom' argument

[ToddAldrich]

@srexob715 You have the freedom to believe as you wish, but regardless of what you OR I believe, the FOUNDERS knew that a citizenry that believed was VITAL to our freedoms. Even Jefferson, one of the least religious of the founders, FLAT OUT said so.

[srexob715]

@ToddAldrich I said the Left is trying to undermine our Nation's belief in God"

Well, when you preach of virgin births, talking bushes, etc...................we are only trying to get you to be logical, rational and truthful to the evidence at hand, but the right doesn't want to do it. They would rather hold on to their fantasy land characters that make them feel all warm and cozy on the inside.

Jefferson wasn't referring to the God of the Bible. He was referring to Natures God or the Creator. Big difference.
