Barton: America Must Have 'A Biblical View On Computer Programming'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 12/2/2014 10:47 am

Back in September, David Barton spoke at a "Truth For A New Generation" Christian apologetics conference in South Carolina. While at the conference, he participated in an interview which was recently uploaded to YouTube in which he made the case that America must implement a "biblical view" on literally every issue, even down to computer programming. On marriage, Barton called for the elimination of no-fault divorce, and after repeating his claim that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of our right to confront our accusers came directly out of the Bible, Barton said that conservative Christians need to make sure that everything from economics to contracts to employer-employee relations operates according to strictly biblical principles. Once again citing the importance of Christians wielding total control over the Seven Mountains of culture, Barton demanded that society uphold "a biblical view on computer programing" and fondly recalled how, until the 1960s, Hollywood could not release any film "unless the church approved it."

And he would have hated Linux because it's the religious cult of operating systems.

Jesus is definitely a z/VM kinda guy.

OTOH, the biblical requirement that all debts be forgiven after seven years would be kinda nice. That would take care of that pesky mortgage and those student loans....

Forty years ago people who had made such a decisive break with reality were locked in places with soft walls and pumped full of Thorazine. Better times, indeed.

"Fucking Batshit Insane" doesn't even begin to describe such manlike objects.
