1) “biblical history” & American history are not synonymous. King James ed of the bible was published in 1611, long before Constl Convention of 1787. Rev Beckwith’s ignorance of such distinctions is no barrier to his claims of expertise. 7/24

2) this is scary: in another video Rev Beckwith opines morality only is based in scripture and that atheists, agnostics, Hindus and Muslims cannot be moral. That implies that, eventually, we do not deserve equal rights. 8/24

3) “founders” of this country consist of more than “fathers.” Only white, male landowners were able to vote for delegates to the 1787 Convention. The delegates viewed their role as framers of a structure for government. 9/24

A “founder” is “a person who founds or establishes.” Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed., 2001, p. 756. The “founders” includes everyone who was here who toiled and died to build this country. 10/24

“Founders” includes people held in involuntary servitude (a/k/a slaves), indigenous peoples (mistakenly called “Indians” by European settlers) and women (who had hardly any rights). 11/24

Please don’t do that. Involuntary servitude = slavery thing.

Some people are offended w/o an explanation. It is an evil institution, but those were the words in the Constituion. I am sorry if I offended you.

Unless they were Shackled and their children sold on auctions. You are not correct.
