@SpotFakeLibertarians I think Jefferson said there were inalienable rights endowed by an individuals creator. What does that mean?
-
@Texfield91 "...precepts of Jesus himself. I AM A CHRISTIAN..." So you see, Jefferson was not being literal when he said he was a Christian. He meant that he was Christian in the sense of agreeing with Christ's teachings... or in Jefferson's words, "sincerely attached to His doctrine..." Not the deity!
-
@Texfield91 From Wikipedia on the Jefferson Bible (which I have), "In an 1803 letter to Joseph Priestley, Jefferson states that he conceived the idea of writing his view of the "Christian System" in a conversation with Dr. Benjamin Rush during 1798–99. He proposes beginning with a review of the morals of the ancient philosophers, moving on to the "deism and ethics of the Jews," and concluding with the "principles of a pure deism" taught by Jesus, "omitting the question of his deity.""
-
@Texfield91 Jefferson also believed in a very clear wall of separation between church and state. Jefferson, "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." And many more...

@Texfield91 Jefferson quotes: "Say nothing of my religion. It is known to my god and myself alone." "If we did a good act merely from the love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? It is idle to say, as some do, that no such thing exists." "I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshiped by many who think themselves Christians."
-
@Texfield91 "...I AM A CHRISTIAN, in the only sense in which He wished..." I have and Jefferson was a famous deist. He rejected the divinity of Christ but accepted Christ's moral teachings. Jefferson did not believe in the biblical Christian god. From Wikipedia page on deism, "For his part, Thomas Jefferson is perhaps one of the Founding Fathers with the most outspoken of Deist tendencies, though he is not known to have called himself a deist, generally referring to himself as a Unitarian."

@pak88xbl "To the corruptions of Chistianity I am, indeed, opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I AM A CHRISTIAN, in the only sense in which He wished any one to be; sincerely attached to His doctrines, in preference to all others;ascribing to himself every human excellence."
-Thomas Jefferson in a private letter, 1803.
read up a bit on history, my friend. it'll serve you well.

@Texfield91 The founding document written by the NON-CHRISTIAN Deist Thomas Jefferson. Was that the Creator Rubio was referring to?
-
@SpotFakeLibertarians Sir, the Constitution is our GOVERNING document, not our founding document. Our founding document is the Declaration of Independence, which clearly speaks of "unalienable rights endowed by our CREATOR". Marco Rubio knew exactly what he was talking about.
There is NO specific mention of "GOD" in our founding document, the U.S. Constitution. RIGHT-WING Constitutional Conservatives will argue it - but they get it WRONG. It just isn't there. Click link above and see for yourself.

Nor is "GOD" mentioned in the US Bill of Rights.
