http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/13/beck-historian-david-barton-bible-will-get-rid-of-ptsd-if-soldiers-are-gods-warriors/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 Veterans Day appearance on Believers 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 wouldnt have PTSD.
You dont take drugs to get rid of it, it doesnt take psychology; that promise right there will get rid of it, he said, pointing at the Bible.
What were talking about, getting rid of the PTSD, guys who have been through battle, they need to understand that soldiers promise, you come back guiltless before God and the nation, Barton agreed.

Just look at those poor souls who say this kind of thing.
I was fortunate to be a child of pacifist religious traditions.
