Customer Reviews of America's Godly Heritage

This is Fiction
As a Christian, I feel it is important to point out the commandment "Thou shalt not bare false witness." This is indeed what Barton is doing in this, and I'm afraid if you believe this you have been duped. Perhaps it is because this is how we wish history to have been rather than how it was. Barton even goes so far as to make up quotes supposedly said by our founding fathers in order to support his arguments, which are varified by scholars as false.

Many of the founding fathers were agnostics. Because many of them were Masons, those that did believe in God were mostly Deists: 1)The belief in the existence of a God on purely rational grounds without reliance on revelation or authority; especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. 2) The doctrine that God created the world and its natural laws, but takes no further part in its functioning. Very few were Christians. Here are some selected quotes:

"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." -John Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli (June 7, 1797).

Jefferson's letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823:
"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."

and "...an amendment was proposed by inserting the words, 'Jesus Christ...the holy author of our religion,' which was rejected 'By a great majority in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mohammedan, the Hindoo and the Infidel of every denomination.'"

James Madison:
"Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together."

Benjamin Franklin's autobiography:
"...Some books against Deism fell into my hands....It happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the Deists, which were quote to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations, in short, I soon became a thorough Deist."

Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason:
"All natural institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."

and "It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible."

Ethan Allen

"I have generally been dominated a Deist, the reality of which I never disputed, being conscious I am no Christian, except mere infant baptism makes me one; and as to being a Deist, I know not strictly speaking, whether I am one or not."

George Washington
Much of the myth of Washington's alleged Christianity came from Mason Weems influential book, "Life of Washington." Weems, a Christian minister portrayed Washington as a devout Christian, yet Washington's own diaries show that he rarely attended church.
Washington revealed almost nothing to indicate his spiritual frame of mind, hardly a mark of a devout Christian. In his thousands of letters, the name of Jesus Christ never appears. He rarely spoke about his religion, but his Freemasonry experience points to a belief in deism.

John Quincy Adams was a Unitarian like his father and denounced the tyranny of Christianity.

Gordon S. Wood, in his 1992 book, "The Radicalism of the American Revolution," states that, by the 1790's only about 10% of the American population regularly attended religious services

The list goes on and on.

Perhaps a better Christian perspective on this:
"We Christians do ourselves no favor by bending history to suit our prejudices or to accommodate wishful thinking. Rather than continue to cling to a "Moral Majority"-style fantasy that says America is a Christian nation that needs to be "taken back" from secular unbelief (we can't "take back" what we never had), it would be much healthier for us Christians to face reality, holding to what Jesus himself said in the Gospels: that Christians should never be surprised at the hostility with which the gospel would be greeted by the world, because most people would fail to believe in him, thereby strongly implying that, in every age and country, Christianity would always be a minority faith. (Rev. Richard T. Zuelch, Letter to the Editor, Los Angeles Times, August 1995)

Beartruth
Good exposure of our TRUE American Heritage and placing how we originally based our government morals and standards based on Jesus Christ...then demonstrating how our government drifted and distorted the Truth, leading us into a compromised, destructive society!

What did our founding fathers orginally believe?
What is an atheist? A person who religiously practices non-religon. What does the first amendment really say? And what is the history behind Thomas Jefferson's 5 words of "seperation of Church and State"?

The fact is that religon is still taught is public schools, every religon. Yes, we have read the bible and the Koran (That is the correct spelling) and talked about what they say in my 10th grade history and english classes. The fact is that every person in the United States of America practices some form of religon. Halloween is orginally a Irish Celtic/ Roman Catholic holiday. Santa Claus is a Catholic saint. The fact that 99% of Americans celebrate this holiday says something.

The Founding Fathers believed that this should be a country built on the bible and God. I am a christian and I will proudly stand up and say it, so did the founding fathers. This is just one more view, but it has proof.

The courts did not have proof of their decision in 1962 that seperated church and state. It did have effects and that is what this movie tried to show. It is put out by a christian organization yet it gives information and quotes from historical documents. I would recommend watching it just to see what the Founding Fathers had to say. Interpert it in your own way.
