You can write 10 pages, attempting to show how Jefferson was a Christian, (he most likely was, thats not the point.) Oh but it is the point. Not only is it the point of this thread - but it is the point to America to begin with. If it can be shown the true intent of the Constitution was not to remove God from government - but to put God in - that is huge - isn't it Machine? FACT is, he intended this country to be one were people of faith could not abuse the practice of law to force their morals onto others. Not people of faith - people with their own agendas - twisting truth to make things the way they want it instead of the way God wants it. Sound familiar? Perhaps a bit like what happens in this great country today - people denying the existence of God and denying His authority over them and making up their own rules? People do not have to profess Christianity to be going about there own agendas Machine. One where people of faith are free to believe what they want, so long as they are not stepping on the rights of other people. See this statement is an absolute fallacy. We are all people of faith - our faith just lies in different places. So there is never a time where people are completely free. There are always laws to keep people in line with what those in charge say is right or wrong. Problem with this is that it can change - just as Jefferson said in that other letter - depending on who is in charge. The very reason we need something outside of peoples opinions on morality, because it can be so skewed. (like the Muslims sharia law, or your bigotry towards gays) Machine talk about someone who is bigoted over another people group - that is you!
