Hi Vic,

 

Those are great quotes from people who knew the foundation of America.  And, Jennifer, you say these quotes are false.  Maybe you need to go back and take a look at American history -- or at the least exercise your Google finger.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Uh bill, I did. How about you exercise that brain of yours, go outside and blow the cobwebs out of it.  Like I said, just because you think that is what they should have said doesn't give you the right to rewrite history and say that is what they said. Got that forrest?

What was Barton's proof for these claims? Many of the quotations he now admits are groundless! At least nine of the 12 were included in Barton's 1989 book, The Myth of Separation, and appeared in the video version, "America's Godly Heritage." Barton was so enamored of one quote supposedly uttered by Benjamin Franklin ("Whosoever shall introduce into the public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.") that it was included on a biographical sketch WallBuilders distributes about Barton, saying it "fully sums up what David believes and teachers." Barton now admits the quote is "questionable" and recommends people don't use it.>>>>>

 

In Barton's later revision of his book, he has omitted the bogus quotes in The Myth of Separation.

 

 

From DA's post. Did you bother to read it bill? Did YOU google?

Hi Jennifer,

 

All you have to do is to check with the Library of Congress if you do not believe what is posted on historical web sites.  Or, is it just easier for you to hide your head under your blankie and keep declaring, "No, it is not true!  No, they did not say that!" and other inane declarations?

 

Jennifer, believe it or not -- just because you deny it and refuse to believe the historical web sites and historians --  does not make those quotes or other historical facts invalid.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Sheesh bill, we've given you historical link after historical link and still YOU deny it and go right back to insisting they said it. What part of DA's post, reposted below, do you not get??
