Is America a Christian Nation? Many people don't think so today. The truth is, however, that our great nation was founded on principles that are all throughout the Bible. Author and historian David Barton highlights our christian heritage in this eye opening message.

In God We Trust. Did, Do, and Will.
The majority of us anyway.
I don’t care what Barrack Hussein Obama said, we are still a Christian Nation, thank you very much.

Note: The video is lengthy but worth the time viewing!
Hey!
No.
But it is our Christian tolerance and sense of freedom that allows leftist jackasses to spew their anti-American BS lies on the streets, rather than treating them the way the Iranian protesters were treating.
Of course, for the braindead liberals out there who troll FR, quote FRs’ posts out of context, and then go on a long, limp-wristed assault in the comfy, stuffed-animal filled blogpages, let me be clear:
The Iranian protesters were protesting FOR freedom.
You leftist jackasses protest to support tyrants and the destruction of American liberty.
PM, great to see you. Its been a while. Still writing much? This is a good video. I love history and somehow I missed being taught while growing up what David Barton from WallBuilders mentions about our nation in the video.
Indeed an overwhelming majority of US citizen still proclaim to be Christians.
This is a perfect presentation to show how ill informed the current president of the US is.
Its too bad we couldn’t have had an American leading America!
They hide it well.
I highly recommend Barton’s books. They’re not light reading, but well worth the investment of time.
There is no such thing as a Christian nation or a Christian army or a Christian bathroom. There are Christians in all three, but to say that a nation is a Christian nation is to completely misunderstand Christianity. Christianity is about life and salvation given through Christ Jesus. Did the United States declare war against Germany and Japan, or did Christ?
It is true that the Declaration of Independence based human rights on a Creator and not the state. That is not Christianity. You can believe that, and be a Jew or a Muslim. Christ did not establish any government, religious or secular.
I don’t think there are any Christian nations but there will be one in the future. All the nations are of this world and Jesus was offered them by the temptation from Lucifer. He said to Pilate his kingdom was not of this world.
Thanks for the post. I just finished watching the entire broadcast. It was great.
Thanks again.
He is the only name by which we must (can) be saved!
There are no Christian nations left in the world with the exception of perhaps the Vatican. The true Christian nation could not allow the worship of any god but the Christian God. Remember the First Commandment — Thou shalt not have false gods before Me.
This means that there be no worship of Allah, Vishnu nor Buddah or any other perceived god allowed inside its borders. The problem with the One True God is that He is very politically incorrect.
That’s right and I watched him on In Touch with Dr. Stanley and I’ve watched him on other specials, too.
He is a good and wise man AND he is an accurate historian.
The video does present well the history of our nation and how it was founded on Christian principles. What a difference we would see in our culture today if people chose to walk as God desires.

Barton is a very talented historian and teacher.
bullsheet is it a Godly nation is the question and here is why — Christianity is a kind of Judaism.............you cannot even think about Jesus, without completely knowing and understanding Judaism..........get that straight once and for all
