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 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!

boatbums: "...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?"

For the same reason that Kevmo does.
Many of our Founders were not traditional Trinitarian Christians, but were to some degree or another influenced by Enlightenment-age deism, Unitarianism and/or Freemasonry.
I'm here hoping to defend their views against the murderous hatred of folks like Kevmo.

Do I take you correctly to want both sides?
