boatbums: "Calling their false religious dogma heresy actually IS a correct accusation.
Being a great man doesn't mean you are right about everything."

FRiend boatbums, you are now the first poster I've seen in these 2,500+ posts to admit that you consider our Founding Fathers to be, in Kevmo's words, "God Damned Heretics."

Well, at least you're honest about it.

I think our Founders' religious views deserve more respect because:

Their understandings of the murderous intent of those who cry "God Damned Heretics" led our Founders to guarantee religious freedom in their First Amendment.
We should thank God for that.
There's more, because their deistically influenced ideas can be found in Declaration of Independence references to "nature's God" and "Supreme Judge of the World".
So, when you condemn such ideas, you also rock the core of America's Founding.
George Washington himself had no doubts that the Hand of Providence (a deistic expression) protected the Founders and our new-born republic.
Seems to me that if we discard such ideas, we also throw away what first got us here.

Again, I'm here to request that they, and others likeminded, get treated with more respect than they've received on this thread.

I don't think you are being honest about it. I never said that. I would never "admit" something if I didn't believe it. It seems you are quite hung up on the GDH accusation and you ignored that I said most of the Founders' views on Christianity would probably be right in line with mine. Why would I call them heretics? Are you able to separate their heroics from their heresies? Is it possible that those who held unorthodox beliefs on Christian tenets just MAY be guilty of heresy ON THOSE SPECIFIC doctrines?

Go back and read my post again, I gave them PLENTY of respect!

***Jesus Himself properly labels you as a ‘viper’, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a ‘son of satan’. Ask to be treated with more respect from Him for spreading your damnable heresy. You ask more of a human follower of Christ than you do of God Himself in the flesh.
