“I think that because Barton is the ONLY ONE who is doing the work to reconnect Christians in America with their Christian heritage, that he will be punished severely for doing so.”

No, what Barton is doing is distorting history in an attempt to elevate christians above all others in the US. And he is being challenged because of his distortions, not because of his christian beliefs. Warren, Michael and many others (conservative, liberal and moderates, christians and others) have all given evidence of Barton’s misrepresentations. Further, it is BARTON who is doing all the name-calling, not his detractors. Calling them, leftists, liberals, elitists, atheists, and anything else he can think of that will resonate with his followers. But he never really addresses the issues they raise.

WOW! This last bit of evidence on Hammond should be hammered away at considering Barton’s anti-gay stances.

I agree that the whole idea of the Founder’s Bible is wrong, but to even hint that Hammond is one of the basic founders of the whole “Christian Nation” meme is ridiculous. Barton, however, feels that he can get away with anything simply because his fan base is so rabidly promoting his work as a “historian”. Righteous arrogance does indeed breed stupidity, but die-hards will eat it all up as manna.

Warren, I’m just glad to know that you and Chis Rodda and others who care about the truth are on Barton’s case. He is a despicable fraud, a snake-oil slesman of the highest order, and should be challenged every inch of the way. I, for one, appreciate your willingness to take on the task. The idea of America as a “Christian nation” becomes more clearly gruesome when you consider Iran as an Islamic Nation. Barton and his ilk desperately want the USA to become Iran’s mirror image: equally backward, equally ignorant, equally sanctimonious, equally repressive, equally resistant to science (except where weapons are concerned), equally hostile to women, minorities, other religions and viewpoints, slaves to iron-age ideology and the verminous whims of the clerics. Thanks for all you do to reveal his intellectual dishonesty, and to prove that this two-bit emperor has no clothes.

I think that because Barton is the ONLY ONE who is doing the work to reconnect Christians in America with their Christian heritage, that he will be punished severely for doing so. If you think that I buy any of the obvious LEFTISTS who are making comments about Barton, you can forget it. I WILL purchase this Bible, and STUDY IT. Here is thought for the PRETEND “Christians” so “concerned” about this. Could it be that many of our founding fathers had opinions about slavery that were wrong, yet they were CORRECT about freedom and Liberty and the absolute necessity and superiority of Christianity to be a BASE and to be critical for our nation to survive? Could it be that they were wrong about slavery, but correct about the tendency of government to grow and oppress people? So, attention COMRADES posing as Christians, I WILL purchase this Bible, and I WILL teach my children to love FREEDOM AND LIBERTY, and if Barton is SO bad a historian, AND you are a REAL Christian, then do something other than bad mouth Barton. Because right now, he is the ONLY ONE doing the work necessary for Christians to reconnect with their history.
