Re Thomas Jefferson: "God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?" Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVIII, p. 237.

@MindofaJedi Re James Madison: "Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ." --America's Providential History, p. 93

Got no problem with Jefferson and Paine. Just don't lump Washington in with them. Also, at worst, Franklin was a deist not an atheist. "I've lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing Proofs I see of this Truth — That God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" Speech to the Constitutional Convention (28 June 1787); Library of Congress. Peace.

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."

—Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794

@paynegl Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."

—Thomas Jefferson, letter, 1787 All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."

—Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794

@paynegl Nope ,. I will sticke to what the foundin fathers daid themselves . That they weren't Christians . Lighthouses are more useful than churches -Ben Franklin . the number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people, have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the State - James Madison .

From the prayers of George Washington: "[P]ardon, I beseech thee, my sins, remove them from thy presence, as far as the east is from the west, and accept of me for the merits of thy son Jesus Chris... give me grace to hear thee calling on me in thy word, that it may be wisdom, righteousness, reconciliation and peace to the saving of the soul in the day of the Lord Jesus." Be careful parroting what you hear from liberal propagandists.

[MindofaJedi]

The Founding Fathers were pretty much in agreement that the Bible was a fraud . All you have to do is read Jefferson , Franklin , Paine , or Washington and you can CLEARY see they were not Christian and had a very low opinion of the Christian church .

@AgApE010 Sorry, i'm having a bad night. I'm feeling unusually bitter and angry. It's nothing personal.
