In honor of all the attention that David Barton’s shoddy scholarship is currently receiving, we thought we’d take some time to pull together a list of some of the demonstrably false statements that he has made in just the last several months alone.

Keep in mind, these are not simply crazy things that he has said – like life begins before conception or that Jesus opposed the Minimum Wage or that the government should regulate gay sex – but rather verifiably false claims that can be easily refuted with a basic Google search.

Those are just ten examples we pulled together from recent months, though there are several others we could have also included.

It is too bad that Barton refuses to engage in debates because it would be nice to see him defend his own claims instead of always just complaining that people are attacking him because of his Christian faith.
