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.

Way to support the troops, asshole.

1. Yeah, and they're really not missing those arms and legs, either.

2. The Bible Itself can mess up "God's Warriors" sending them slipping down the path to hell.

Just look at those poor souls who say this kind of thing.

I was fortunate to be a child of pacifist religious traditions.

Or is he another chickenhawk?

Quick, someone, call the insane asylum. We can get two on one trip.
