Stay away from history, Glenn. It's not your friend.
"Survival Suppositories for the Family"!
What better way to record and save history than on some sort of mini sd card/computer chip in a capsule and then shoved up your child for safe keeping!

And is he endorsing heresy here? Because that is what Christian heritage would label the Dead Sea scrolls.
This little screech, if you actually listen to it, will make your brain spin.
What an ignoramus.
If anybody is interested in early church history, I recommend -- in addition to the gospels and Paul's letters -- "When Jesus Became God", "Beyond Belief", "The Gospel of Mary Magdalene", "The Gospel of Thomas", and "The Gospel of Judas Iscariot".
Hey Becko: I'd like to put you into the back of a cave where no one can find you.
wow,
Guilty as charged! So is Eddie Izzard.
Ah Crazy Man the historian strikes again. Crazy Man I fear there is already something inside of you that is rotting if not already rotten.
He's operating at a sub-Wikipedia level of information, and from the way way extreme conspiracy-theory textbook. Some church historians think Christianity went the wrong way after the Council of Nicea. It was the political assertion that the Christianity of the day would be formalized and followed as a matter of law. Theocratic Christianity. Anybody want that in the US? Other than Beckerheads i mean.
I think he's mixing up the Dead Sea Scrolls with the Nag Hammadi texts anyway; Nag Hammadi finds like The Gospel of Mary, and Thunder, Perfect Mind record the different Christianities of the early days. The Dead Sea Scrolls, are, in particular, the plans and predictions of a violent overthrow of the Roman Government of 1st Century Israel. Anybody looking at a violent overthrow in the US today? Other than this crook and his followers i mean.
And the Founders aren't men to him. Their ideas don't matter. They are mythic beings, and merely by using their names as incantations, whatever he says in the same vicinity as their utterance becomes more powerfully true, at least in his head.
Weird, weird man.
Reminds me of the Star Trek episode where a 'parallel planet' was visited with the discovery that one side had a copy of the Constitution.
And sorry Glenn, our founding documents are ingenious in many ways, and not so ingenious in others (only white male landowers could vote). But they're definitely not divine.
Just sayin'
Sic'em Tiny Time Pills!
