On today’s “Faith and Freedom” radio broadcast, Matt Barber was absolutely livid about letters of complaint sent by the Freedom From Religion Foundation to several school districts in Florida objecting to the practice of appointing chaplains for high school football teams, among other things.
School officials agreed to change these policies and Barber was not at all happy, calling the FFRF a “crazy” anti-Christian segregation organization that engages in “religious cleansing” by using “absurd” and “stupid” arguments, before asserting that groups like FFRF, the ACLU, and we here at People For the American Way are nothing more than “paper tigers” who need to just be fanned away like the “little flies buzzing around your head” and told to “go away.”
But then Barber suddenly changed his tune when co-host Mat Staver reminded him that what “Satan intends of evil, God will turn things around for good.”
“Amen,” Barber responded, “and that has been the case historically from A.D. 1 and before, when it comes to Christianity. Christianity thrives and explodes under persecution and oppression, so I’m starting to wonder now if this Freedom From Religion Foundation might actually be a covert Christian organization that is intending to spread revival and an explosion in the church nationwide in public schools, and in the military, and throughout public forums. Keep it up, guys. Keep it up Freedom From Religion Foundation, you are helping spread the Gospel and the growth of Christianity.”
