You're becoming more idiotic with each post.  Soon, you'll just be smearing feces on your monitor.

While the avenues for his message have multiplied, the themes of Barton’s work are the same today as they were in 1995. Barton peddles the proposition that America is a Christian nation, legally and historically. He asserts that the principle of church-state separation, while not in the Constitution, has systematically been used to rule religion out of the public arena, particularly the public school system. His presentation has just enough ring of truth to make him credible to many people. His work, however, is laced with exaggerations, half-truths and misstatements of fact.

Anyone who actually thinks the US is a Christian nation simply hasn't done any study on the history of that era.  The political realities of the time (fairly large Jewish population, tension between Catholics and Protestants, history teaching them that religion and governance is a terrible combination, many of the Founders straddling the line between deist and Christian, etc.) precluded it.  They didn't want to risk the fledgling nation they paid for with blood and sacrifice over religious conflict.

Even more so since continental Europe and England just emerged from centuries of bloody religious fights. That's where their roots were, as well as in the enlightenment movement. It's understandable that they didn't want a new helping of all of this for their new nation.

Barton has carved out a nice niche for himself. While he is not taken seriously by anyone outside the Southern Baptist/Evangelical communities, he is a rock star to them (at least among the laity). Further proof that one can make a nice living by spoon feeding idiots what they desperately want to hear.

You can say what you like about me or pass judgements just like a Christian does, but at the end of the day, I don't spend my life on here as if it depended on it. I am here to simply have fun, have a laugh, have a craic, wum and troll. I guess I can be racist, I might not be racist, I could also be ageist or non-ageist, I could be a feminist or a non-feminist, I could be for equal rights for all, or I could say that every woman should get their tits out for the guys. At the end of the day, you will never know what my true thoughts are, and that is to my advantage. Let us just say that my time here is a bit like "leading people up the garden path." Now, come back to me when you have something decent to say, when you have something of intelligence to say.

Ah, and now the typical "You're a judgmental idiot loser who spends all his time online, come back to me when you're not that any more" response.  Pathetic.

Again, unless you have anything actually interesting that I want to actually hear, then please continue, if not, jog on son. You simply don't get it do you? I could write anything I like here i.e.

I love blacks and I really dislike the Chinese.
I like the idea of burkhinis because it protects the dignity of Islamic women, I mean, why not, it gives them a sense of freedom to swim wherever they please.
I dislike the idea of police brutality and to be frightfully honest, they should be weeded out, fired and get sent to prison, preferably in general population.

Now, how do you know that I not lying?

He's made no secret of his bigotry, bud. The only difference between him and David Duke is his accent ... and you can't hear that in a post.

And you're right, better the vermin you can see than the ones who skulk.

You should be fighting your demons mate instead of spitting your hatred and making disparaging remarks about people.

Have a beer on me mate.

I'll let you know when your advice is wanted. Until then, ponder the irony of you complaining about someone "spitting your hatred and making disparaging remarks about people."

It's not you I hate -- I could not care less about you one way or the other, and you sure don't merit emotional investment so far as I can see -- no, it's not you I hate, it's your racism.

I'll pass on the beer, thanks ... and the baiting, for that matter.

At the end of the day, you will never know what my true thoughts are, and that is to my advantage.

I've been operating on the assumption that you're at least an honest man. Ought I revise that?
