Pyropappy: before you quote our founding fathers for religious takes, please refer to google: "founding fathers and deism" for the stunning realization that most of them hated organized religion, considered it a dead or dying practice, and deliberately used non Christian terms like "nature's god" and "their creator" in order to downplay god in government as much as possible under the circumstances. Jefferson, the author of the document you quoted, went so far as to hand-cut and re-paste his entire family bible to remove ALL deity references to the new testament, leaving only the tale of a poor but smarter than average carpenter who said some shit and got killed for it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
