Beck ‘historian’ David Barton: Bible will ‘get rid of’ PTSD if soldiers are God’s warriors

A spokesperson from the Southern Baptist Convention lashed out at a so-called “historian” who radio host Glenn Beck hired to teach at his online university after he interpreted a Bible passage to mean that members of the armed forces who were fighting on the side of God could not suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

In a Veteran’s Day appearance on Believer’s Voice of Victory, televangelist Kenneth Copeland told “historian” David Barton that Numbers 32 said that soldiers “shall return and be guiltless before the Lord” and that meant that they wouldn’t have PTSD.

“You don’t take drugs to get rid of it, it doesn’t take psychology; that promise right there will get rid of it,” he said, pointing at the Bible.

“What we’re talking about, getting rid of the PTSD, guys who have been through battle, they need to understand that soldier’s promise, you come back guiltless before God and the nation,” Barton agreed.



unhappycamper comment: Neither of these sorry motherfuckers have ever been in a foxhole 10,000 miles from home. How can Beck and Barton tell what PTSD does to a person when they never bothered to put a uniform on? I'll bet neither of them has been around loud explosions or in a fire fight.

I really do not like chickenhawks.

on edit to add: Beck has a historian? Where did he come from - the Creationist museum? Or maybe Liberty U?
