Jefferson and the Deists
Theo writes:
yes they were more or less christian but they were not fundies. As proven by their lives and correspondence.
Well Jefferson took the Gospels and actually cut out the parts that he thought didn't represent the actual teachings of Jesus. He compiled what was left into the Jefferson Bible. Enough to give a fundamentalist a heart attack.
The Jefferson Bible
Many of the founders were considered to be Deists. I am quite certain most would have been appalled at the pronouncements of Robertson, Falwell et al. as well as many current politicians including G.W. Bush.

Re: Well, I cannot defend Rev. Robertson, Faith
You are trying to reason with someone who isn't reasonable, Rahvin.
You are better off ignoring Tal. I think if we all did he would eventually go away.
