So, you failed again? After all, you must have since you ran from this simple point:

Jefferson also cut stories of miracles and the supernatural out of his Bible - what he called “of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, or superstitions, fanaticisms, and fabrications.” He was brilliant in the secular sense, but a twit when it came to Christianity.

That’s okay. You can’t do anything but fail anyway.

Uhuh.  Folks like you aboard the Theocratic jackwagon would like to think this...

The American Declaration of Independence

...was a failure too.

Nonetheless, the American REALITY is that our implementation of the Declaration and the establishment of this Republic, founded upon the 1st amendment, keeps your mystery-cultic ilk from doing your collective state-established business upon the American temple steps.

So boo hoo. No royal jelly for you. Bzzzzz.

Simple, to a regurgitating collectivist parrot perhaps.

Jefferson rejected temporal human religious concoctions and preferred, instead, a personal relationship constituted through a lifetime of interaction with his Creator, and the experience and self-evident Truth manifested therein.

And thank GOD he and his fellows were inspired by that Creator to found this American Republic where other INDIVIDUALS are FREE ( much to your evident  chagrine ) to do so as well.
