I haven’t mentioned a concentration camp.

But Christians have already been forced into re-education.

Some who have refused to service “gay weddings” have, for instance. Christian ministers kicked out of the military. A Christian fire chief removed just for mentioning in a book he wrote what the Bible says about homosexuality, along with many other sins. And on and on and on. There are new cases of this all the time.

And on Jefferson, he cut out of his Bible the passages about Jesus being God as he believed Him to be just a man.

What’s more, did he invent freedom of religion?

I don’t often use the phrase “Founding Fathers” anymore.

It’s gotten to the point that only the first leaders like Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, etc., get any credit for anything. That’s a curiuos thing in a country where the people are sovereign. Did the people not make any contribution to the founding of America, contributions that Jefferson, etc., had to take into account?

I actually came across in an article on a liberal site, on the question of whether or not we were founded as a Christian nation, that a couple of pastors of the era preached that our founding documents didn’t go far enough in their recognition of God, and for that reason we would eventually turn from Him.

Do you really feel that you may sit it out and allow Hillary Clinton to win the Presidency?

Hillary Clinton, a woman that wrote her senior thesis in college, "There Is Only the Fight . . . : An Analysis of the Alinsky Model" in admiration of a man that wrote an epigraph in the front of his book "Rules for Radicals" in admiration of Satan.

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.

You need to vote for Donald Trump to stop this persecution of Christians and this destruction of Christian values through so called political correctness which he has railed against since his campaign started.

In a way, yes, Jefferson DID "invent" Freedom of religion, in his letter to the elders of the Danbury, Ct. Baptist Church. In said letter, which most people don't know about and completely misuse the phrase: "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE", which is in it, Jefferson pledges that this nation will NEVER have a national religion, which most European and the UK had at that time.

I'm going to start charging other posters for these history lessons soon!
