redleghunter: "I understand why you think you need to defend the founders.
However, you place a "mountain" of founders as Unitarian or deist when it is little more than a "mole hill."
The historical evidence is clear.
I showed you that out of all signers of the Declaration of Independence there were two Unitarians and one confirmed deist and one maybe deist.
That is 4 of 55 signers "

Remember, on this thread, yours truly BroJoeK is called a "God Damned Heretic" because I point out that the New Testament contains no explicit Trinitarian language.
Nearly all our "top tier" Founders would also accept such an observation, including: Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison & Hamilton.
That's because their Christianity was influenced by Enlightenment Age ideas of theism/deism, Unitarianism and/or Freemasonry.

I cite as proof of this thesis the fact that not only the New Testament, but also most of our Founders' writings, contain no explicitly Trinitarian language.

Yes, they were all believers, but they did not believe exactly as you do, and so I am here asking that their beliefs be treated with forbearance and respect, especially on Free Republic News/Activism threads.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

***Yes, you truly are a God damned heretic for pushing such a heresy.
