Jefferson's Bible
#2
RE: Jefferson's Bible
All references to Jesus' divinity were removed.

It is crazy to me that the average modern day Christian thinks the 'Founding Fathers' were these paragons of virtue and morality.

These slave holding/raping, genocidal, misogynist white dudes were smart and well meaning for the most part, but they were not perfect.

In the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC there is a painting called 'The Apotheosis of Washington' which is a perfect, if ironic description of the way we view the nation's first politicians.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
