He was idealistic and naive to a fault. But not dishonest.

So you say, Brian, so you say. Personally, I don't think he was naive at all. He was a highly skilled communicator and knew exactly what he was doing. Few people ever come close to his class.
.
Did he always precede his stories with warnings that they might not be verifiable or that they were controversial?

I say he undermined the truth. To say I am wrong, is to go along with the exaggerations as he stretched the truth right up to the breaking point. But, he was a very effective promoter--he deserves a lot of credit. He was a Calvinist as you know. Are you familiar with his Westminster Academy? At one time, I was highly impressed with him and his work. I esteemed him at the top. And, his organist, Diane Bish, was spectacular. I think she drew many viewers in to his circle of influence. She was just a little thing; but, she could make their grand organ dance. After she retired from Coral Ridge, she did a tour playing organs all over the world on a nationally televised program. I saw her play an organ that Bach played when he was alive. Her musical artistry was superior--top class.

America may have been predominately Christian; but, it was not founded as a Christian nation. It was founded as a secular nation and it was the Christian influence that demanded that with the Bill of Rights.
