So what is it with your obsession with this one paper of his. Was it ever made into Virgina law? Was it ever made into law or part of a state or nations founding documents anywhere?

Texas?? Why are bringing Texas up. Texas was not even a state until 1948, and why are you changing the topic to historical revisionism. Free association does equal a cogent argument.

Why dont you read that last paragraph of yours out loud back to yourself

>>Texas?? Why are bringing Texas up
 
Because Texan religionists have altered public school curriculum to teach the lie that that the American Founders intended this to be a Christian Nation.
 
They even tried to toss Jefferson himself out of the curriculum.
 
Was Thomas Jefferson a Founder?  Yes he was.
Were the "great Majority" of his contemporaries Founders?  Yes, they were.
 
Did they intend to create a Christian Theocracy?
"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

NO.
 
Will they be teaching that FACT in the Texas Curriculum, or just the facts deemed "conservative" by the religionist RINO Theocrats? 
 
 
What about Sharia Law, when the demographics change sufficiently for it to be mandated by the majority?   Allow one, gotta allow all - Just ask the religionists at the Air Force Academy who now have a Wiccan circle on grounds.... thanks to other religionists shoving their foot through the 1st amendment door/wall and creating precedence.
