Your post is completely off topic and does not belong on this thread. Defending MLK by shredding TJ is absurd and pathetic.
Stop filling the thread with lengthy TJ stuff. Jefferson was not parading as a Baptist Preacher.
Nor was he screwing half the female congregation til the following Monday morning.
He was a cheerleader for the Jacobin movement, however, which is tantamount to singing praises for the Vietcong or the Soviet Union at that time. And he did have a very disgusting treatment of God via the Jefferson Bible and also dismissing him as Cerberus. All of those I consider infinitely worse, and Jefferson certainly paraded as a Christian, at least, which is still awful, that he’d destroy Jesus’s divinity like that.
And it’s not pathetic in the slightest, it’s called being consistent and not being a hypocrite. If I’m to defame MLK, I’d also defame TJ for the exact same reasons, simply because I believe in absolute consistency in condemning people for crimes.
And believe me, I could even cite stuff about Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon that could also make them as bad as MLK, using your arguments. Also Eisenhower. And let’s not forget that Richard Nixon is the guy who helped found MLK’s civil rights movement.
