We should never cherry pick anything, and, that being said, we shouldn't take anything he says as an authoritative statement. However, Separation of Church and State is an idea that transcends generations, and though it's interesting that Jefferson spoke so highly of it back then, I think it's more important that we keep talking about it...not because the Founding Fathers said it, but because it's right.

I didn't miss the point BWS. That cherry picking, lying and not checking your sources on important issues is bad goes without saying. I will add that I do not believe the second amendment is any less relevant today than the first, fourth, fifth or sixth. I do find it rather disturbing though that you fail to recognize the bias in the article you linked.
