Quote:... The Iowa pastors heard David Barton, a Christian historian, argue that the country was founded as explicitly Christian and lament that too few evangelicals get out and vote. They heard Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker and like Mr. Huckabee a possible 2012 presidential candidate, say that constitutional liberties like the right to bear arms were ordained by God. They heard how to promote “biblically informed” political advocacy by churchgoers within the confines of federal tax law.

Right to bear arms ordained by God?? WTF.

It makes you wonder if these people actually understand the bible. Because for example; in the New Testament Jesus talked about things like turning the other cheek, divorcing and remarrying is committing adultery, and giving all your money and possessions to the poor.
