Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
-Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.
Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Horatio G. Spafford, March 17, 1814
"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."
- James Madison
". . . Some books against Deism fell into my hands. . . It happened that they wrought an effect on my quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the Deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations; in short, I soon became a through Deist."
- Benjamin Franklin
"If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practiced it on one another. The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Romish church, but practiced it upon the Puritans. These found it wrong in the Bishops, but fell into the same practice themselves both here [England] and in New England."
- Benjamin Franklin
"Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifiying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity
- Tom Paine
If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be -- a Christian. -- Mark Twain, Notebooks
C ya!
In before the Zot!
Verily, thou will be smote by ZOT this very day.
That was quick.
"Smote"? I thought it was "smited". Or is it "smut"? :o)
Ahhhh, the great tradition of "number 2 gets screwed" lives on.
Goog one; ZOT on.
Damn, dudes, they are sending a lot of pickle smokers our way today.
Kinda like writ , write, rote, rut? Glad I took latin.
And your point would beeeeeeeee..............????????
Betcha didn't expect a Spanish Inquisition.
Thou shalt zot thee troll when thou seest one.
Or even "smitten". ;o)
Creating an account, just to get bit. Sheesh. Must be a sadomasochist.
What's the cruelest thing a sadist can say to a masochist begging to be punished?
NO!!

Paul
(Did I get it in before the great Zot??)
And the Admin Moderator spake unto the Freepers, and said, Thou must cast out the stupidity from among thee. Thus saith JimRob. And the Freepers said Amen and Amen.
Three shall be the number of the Zotting and the number of the Zotting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the Zotting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Zot in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
