I guess this proves that one can actually live with her head shoved up her posterior. She lies in so many ways it is hard to make a complete list.

George Washington never used the name of Jesus Christ in any of his writings,technically correct, however, go to the Washington Memorial Chapel where you will find this prayer offered by George Washington for his country.

"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou will keep the United States in thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."

Thomas Jefferson a Deist, in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush dated 4/21/1803:

"My views...are the result of a life inquiry and reflection, and very different from the anti-Christian system imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinions. To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed, but not the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian in the only sense in which he wished anyone to be, sincerely attached to his doctrines in preference to all others.."

Or in this letter to Moses Robinson on 3/23/1801:

"...the Christian Religion, when divested of the rags in which they (the clergy) have enveloped it, and brought to the original purity and simplicity of its benevolent institutor, is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, and the freest expansion of the human mind."

or this last letter to Levi Lincoln expressing Jefferson's views on the New England clergy 38/26/1801:

"...From the clergy I expect no mercy. They crucified their Saviour who preached that their kingdom was not of this world: and all who practice on that precept must expect the extreme of their wrath. The laws of the present day withhold their hands from blood; but lies and slander still remain to them..."

Or from White House site:

Thomas Jefferson

In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

Sorry need to answer this Deist Question regarding Jefferon. He wrote to a Mrs. Harrison Smith on 8/6/1816 regarding these allegations:

"...I recognize the same motives of goodness in the solicitude you express on the rumor supposed to proceed from a letter of mine to Charles Thomson, on the subject of the Christian religion. It is true that, in writing to the translator of the Bible and Testament, that subject was mentioned; but equally so that no adherence to any particular mode of Christianity was expressed, nor any change of opinions suggested. A change from what? That priests indeed have heretofore thought proper to ascribe to me religious, or rather yet anti-religious sentiments, of their own fabric, but such as soothed their resentments against the Act of Virginia for establishing religious freedom. They wished him to be thought atheist, deist, or devil, who could advocate freedom from their religious dictations. But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests ... I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives and by this test my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read...."

I apologize for the length of the post, however, I cannot stand the libel that our Founding Fathers were actually blood drinking, baby killing satanists rather then what they truly were which is Christian.
