Unfortunately few of the Religious Right will read it because some believe to read the opposing view is against Christianity; and they might end up in hell. I guess the punishment to them for lying is not hell. Can't wait for the next books.2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. SHUT DOWN ALL THOSE BIBLE THUMPERSBy Brent KincaidIt is not the book I thought it was. My fault. But; I gave it to a friend and he is reading it DAILY! He is a teacher in the middle of the belt of fools who think science and history needs to be taught from the bible and his beside himself with ammunition to shut those fools up..6 of 9 people found the following review helpful. More fun than you would think!By Andy WangstadThis is a great take down of David Barton's "unusual" take on American History. Very well researched and documented! I had expected something boring; but it was fascinating how Barton leaps to erroneous connections and Chirs Rodda simply lays out what the full document is and the context in which it was written. Great read.
