Just like today before our eyes there had been a lot of revisionism going with the US Consitution as well as what the founders of this great nation have said!

I used to, but I no longer do. That is PART of my agreement with Jefferson.

I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ. [12] Thomas Jefferson

12. Thomas Jefferson, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Albert Ellery Bergh, editor (Washington, D.C.: The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association, 1904), Vol. XIV, p. 385, to Charles Thomson on January 9, 1816.

Restornu -- Jefferson, as 1000, pointed out, did not believe in the divinity of Jesus. He held the ethical teachings of Jesus in very high regard. In that sense, I agree with Jefferson.

He was not a Christian in the sense that the majority of evangelicals would accept -- or in the sense that the majority of Mormons would accept. And since Mormons and evangelicals disagree on just what I Christian is -- and since I am neither one -- I'll let you and 1000 work this one out between yourselves.

Jefferson and I are going to go to bed now.
