““Never in all that time did he let fall from his lips or his pen an expression which remotely implied the slightest faith in Jesus as the son of God and the Savior of men.” Both Lamon and William H. Herndon published biographies of their former colleague after his assassination relating their personal recollections of him. Each denied Lincoln’s adherence to Christianity and characterized his religious beliefs as deist or skeptical.”

Bogus. I’ve studied the life of Licoln, having read a great
number of biographies - one called The Faith of Lincoln.

Give me the quote where Lincoln says that Jesus is his personal Savior. Lincoln behaved as an Unitarian. He was respectful of the Bible and Diety, etc, but he was from a typical beleiver. In short, he was a heretic just like Mitt is viewed as a heretic.
