Earlier this year, we stumbled upon a few episodes of David Barton’s “Building on the American Heritage Series” that had been posted on the TBN website. Today, while searching for something else, we noticed that several other episodes from that same series had also been posted and so we are working our way through them.
Near the end of the episode entitled “Politics In The Pulpit,” Barton made a point that the purpose of the church is not to create harmony or unity among the congregants but to preach the word of God’s and support God’s laws.
As such, Barton cited 1 Timothy 1:8-10 in order to declare that the purpose of the law is to punish ungodly and sinful (like gays) regardless of what the Supreme Court rules.
Watch:
Barton, an evangelical Christian minister, conservative activist, and author, is the founder of WallBuilders, a Texas-based organization which advocates the view that U.S. constitutional separation of church and state is a myth.

YOU ARE A ASS H–E DROP DEAD
This is one of the people I saw online that I think looks gay. I’m telling you he does not want to be in prison. He would be someone’s bitch in the blink of an eye.
Yeah, well I think ignorance should be illegal, but we don’t always get what we want.
another case of “you damn well better respect and allow me to spout my religious beliefs so I can totally persecute you in return.”
oh ffs. same old bs. (yawn)
I don’t care what the Barton. That shirt he’s wearing should be illegal. Hello! Abilene of 80′s called they want that shirt destroyed.
I don’t care what your religion says, you’re an idiot.
That shirt should be illegal
F*ck him and his hateful rhetoric.
Closet case!!!
loser
Allowing that kind of people to speak, should be illegal.
Illegal to have been born, and illegal to abort? Where is the medium ground here.
Doesn’t this violate his churches tax exempt status? “Politics in the Pulpit” certainly seems to indicate he is using his church in a political manner……
*yawn* he only says that bcus his wife would leave him for a butch lesbian in the blink of an eye..next..
idiot. i think idiocy should be illegal.
i love all of you ^ ♥
Meh… In his next life he’ll be trans.
This dude can kiss my gay ass, just like the rest of the homophobes!!!!!
He has a right to his opinion…as ignorant, stupid, and dogmatic as it is. If the Gods Law he was talking about and wishing for was actually enforced, he doesn’t seem to get that ALL sins – from lying to purger’s to fornicators as well as manslayers – are equally bad in God’s eyes so EVERYONE is going to Hell. Oops. :P
So should your face!!! jack off… has nothing better to do with his life. Live and let live……
Enough already!!! These bigoted assholes need to shut the hell up and go on to what they believe is their ‘reward’ for being hateful towards Gods creations. Bye!
His hate and stupidity should be outlawed. Nuff said.
Well he just needs to shut his mouth
If I were his toupee, I’d fly away. Because that rhymes, and that is also true.
This shit is 2 clicks away from jihad.
You wanna lock me away with a bunch of other lesbians? Mmmm, okay!
dudes face is gay. he just doesnt want to see gay couples because hes scared to get a hard on. its ok, come out
The aliens need to hurry up and come. Bwhahahaha
sick but his way of thinking seems terrorist like! more than likely he likes it from behind his closet dôor!! lol
i dont care what he says, ignorant people should not be preachers
one of the reasons why the world laughs at America. for producing shallow, contemptuous ninnyhammers like this. you find VERY few preachers like this in Europe.
I keep reminding my self I am not the jackass Wisperer, so it does no good to talk to the haters.
The argument that says the one who hates and persecutes because he’s gay himself is tired and offensive. “Looks gay” ? WTF does that mean?
This guy looks like he has had more dicks in him than a hotel hosting a private eye convention.
people like him are a perfect example of ” you can’t fix stupid but you can dull it with a 2×4 ” anybody feel like visiting home depot ?
This guy has been lying and fabricating the history of our country for years. His teachings are not based in fact but his own illusions – problem is some schools present this crap as fact. His group is often invited into public schools plus a lot of teachers are given this info free of charge. They buy into it and repeat it to their students even though it is far from true. He has proven himself a liar. Nothing he says is credible. And he is not opposed to lying to further his agenda.
It doesn’t take advanced intelligence to be a preacher as you can tell with the nonsense that comes out of their mouths.
So should marrying your cousin but hey that’s legal. Try explaing that one to your children
This F______ moron needs to be put in front of a firing squad. Screw off and die asshole.
Thank God we do have laws preventing hateful bigots like this from fully acting on their warped beliefs.
Then I guess we shouldn’t care about what the Bible says! :D
So should being an ignorant hateful bigot.
oh Jesus, who is going to listen to this Moron??? why give him the media attention… shut his ignorance down…
Gosh…if I didn’t know any better I’d say put some pumps on that girl and let her roll!
He may spread his hate in this life, but I assure you karma will play out for him in his next life, and it will be unfortunate for him
As should divorce, and the supposed marriages between men and women!!!
These right wing conservative Bible thumpers think the world should revolve around them and what they believe. In there own hateful, bigoted minds they think they speak for God——they will find out differently when they meet Him face to face and they have to explain their hate and bigoted mind before God tells them to “depart, I do not know thee.” At least they then can go down to an eternaty of damnation and the fires of Hell where people like this belong.
Bigotry should be illegal, twat….
EQUALITY FOR ALL! Tired of Christian Imperialism. Stop imposing your views on us…We do not believe like you! Period!
Why don’t he just move somewhere where it is so he can be happy as hell and stop bulling others to be what he has chosen for his own gd life!
More like the anti-American heritage.
Since he doesnt care what the supreme court says then is it ok to kidnap him and torture him to death
BOO. I do not like people like him.
Note to Barton: GROW UP!
He’s an old man who should have a crown of wisdom and experience on life and he is still ignorant. thats pretty depressing.
He is a MORON!!!!!
Fucking jerk
WHO THE HELL IS HE?
Nice one. God bless David Barton
You just keep saying it. We have had to live by the votes for years, so sit and spin you loving pastor you.
Sounds like we need to add him to the list of people in whose name we donate to LGBT positive organizations….then send him a thank you note….if you include his contact information, these organizations will flood his mailbox with literature. Maybe all he needs is a little education.
agreed. Let the Supreme court vote finally, if you preach politics…goodbye tax exempt.
Da fuck is it with these Middle American Hick fucktards…all fucking carbon copies of one another…this dude needs a god damn fucking original mind
Yet another example of the Bible being revised to suit the times, which christians always howl doesn’t happen. The term “homosexual” wasn’t coined (at least in English anyway) until the 1800s.
On another note, the vitriol demonstrated in the comments here leaves a lot to be desired. As a community, can’t we express our disagreement with this guy and his position in ways other than calling him names and vulgarities? We’re supposed to be better than that. Seriously, the comments I see on LGBTQ Nation posts make me ashamed of my community for its demonstrated childishness.
Who the fuck “likes” this?!? Assholes, that’s who…
Can he be taxed already? He enjoys a tax-free life, and gets to spew, tired right wing propaganda.
he doth protest…
Well of course that’s what he says… he’s an asshole. That’s the sort of stupid stuff they ALL say.
vote Libertarian Gary Johnson
we should be “free” of religious persecution too, are WE!!!
