He could do the same as a History teacher, Barton said, suggesting that he could teach his students about Founding Father Thomas McKean who used to deliver altar calls in the courtroom when he served as a judge. “You can read an altar call,” Barton said, “here’s what was done in 1779 in Thomas McKean’s courtroom. It’s an altar call, but all you’re doing is reading history.”

Or, and I know this is just crazy talk, he could join the Peace Corps, or go to Haiti and help build roads and schools, or put in time gathering food and donations for the poor of his city, or volunteer at the hospital to read to sick kids, stuff that will actually alleviate suffering and help people and make people think that maybe Christianity is more than just saying a magic prayer and registering as Republican.
