That was a great post. I learned a lot. No, I had not heard of the Jefferson Bible. I think I might have all the socialist/commie Bastards a little apprehensive about bringing up any of their atheist, commie, psycho liberal babbling thorns to me. I love Jefferson too. I can tell by his writings that he knew who God was. I guess I am happy with this view and don’t wish for it to be tainted.

Tom Jefferson was hardly a deist in the way we define the term today. In fact, the so-called Deist founding father was quite active in the Anglican Church! He did, later in life, take some of the French philosophes ideas to heart, though I don't think he was ever a real secularist or skeptic when it came to basic Judeo-Christian philosophy of ethics and/or morality.

What do you know about this?

I have an understanding that Washington prayed an hour before bedtime and an hour when he woke up.

I also think that the Founding Fathers knew that man is a sinner and to much power in the hands of the few was bad for the people. So, they created a division in powers and a checks and balance system.

I also believe that our forefathers wanted us to have inalienable rights (or God given rights) so that no man or Government could take away our God given rights. I believe that the commies in our Country today wish to remove that idea for their purpose. What is their purpose? Well, I am an American and I pray to my God and we solve my problems together. Remove God and I end up praying to the Government to take care of me from the cradle to the grave.

And if they did not believe in Jesus, why did they end the Constitution with In the year of the Lord, 1787?

Think these are loco beliefs?
