Debunking "Beck U" -- Faith 102 with "Professor" David Barton
The entire goal of Barton's "Faith 102" class was to prove that the two least religious founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, had no intention of separating church and state. I've debunked many of the lies Barton used in this class before, so, since I've been a bit swamped with my "day job" at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and didn't have time to make an entirely new video this week, I've thrown together a few videos debunking some of the lies from "Professor" Barton's Beck U class, mainly using my debunkings of these same lies from a video series I made last year. Barton's lie that more than half the signers of the Declaration of Independence were ministers (he also used this one in his first Beck U class): Barton's lie that Benjamin Franklin chose to begin a treaty in the name of the trinity: Barton's lie that Thomas Jefferson started church services at the Capitol (should be watched along with the next video about the Marine Band): Barton's lie that Thomas Jefferson told the Marine Band to play at church services: Barton's lie that Thomas Jefferson sent Christian missionaries to evangelize the Indians Barton's lie about why the Danbury Baptists wrote to Thomas Jefferson, and what his reply meant: During this Beck U class, Barton once again told his lie about Thomas Jefferson dating his documents "in the year of our Lord Christ," a lie that he told on Beck's show that I debunked in my current "No, Mr. Beck …" video series, so here's that video: The above videos cover only seven of the over a dozen lies from Barton's latest class, but I'll be trying to get to all the rest, as well as a few more things from Faith 101, in other posts before Barton's next class -- Faith 103. (My apologies to those who can't watch videos at work or because they don't have fast enough connections. I just don't have time to transcribe these videos and include a text version in this post like I've been doing in my other video posts since receiving requests for text versions from people who can't watch the videos.)
