"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his Father, in the womb of a virgin will be classified with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. --Thomas Jefferson
So, Jefferson didn't believe the virgin birth. How does that nullify the other quote?
Jefferson didn't believe in the divinity of Christ at all. Nor did he believe in anything resembling the God that most do. There are MANY examples of Jefferson's writings that run quite contrary to the quote posted.
My point was not to suggest that the posted quote was irrelevant. But rather to suggest that perhaps the author would have better chosen from a quote by John Adams.
I don't think Jefferson was exactly in the author's corner on things. I find it somewhat ironic that the author chose Jefferson.
