Yep, and one non believer! This is old stuff, but always good to see it make it's rounds again. I have always found it interesting that Thomas Jefferson made all these quotes after he added most all of the original quotations from the bible and imbued what appeared to be all of his beliefs into all of his pre-constitutional writings.

He reminds me of the extremely religious Charles Darwin who was a self proclaimed "Devout Christian", who was devastated after the loss of his 10 year old daughter. He blamed God for his loss, and took out on his proof that there was no such God.

Jefferson, a self described "Materialist", understood that he could not be a possessor and a lover of items of this world and still get to heaven. Thus, a bitter Thomas Jefferson, who felt slighted after the war for Independence, began his crusade to speak out against God, the very God that he spoke of so eloquently in his pre-writings of 1776.

It's all been tried before guys. Look, Satan was in heaven before he thought he was bigger than God. There will always be those who believe, and those who do not believe. I feel comfortable with my own beliefs and need not worry about justifying myself to anyone by my own God.

Why would we move here to get religious freedom only for our country to be founded on only ONE religion. Makes no sense. our country was founded on freedom not any one persons ideology even not non-believers. If it was founded on ONE religion that defeats the whole purpose of coming to america. we didn't come here to live under religious texts. Like i stated before we came here for freedom

And on charles darwin he NEVER sought out to disprove god.
