He also was a true friend of the Christian faith. He may have said those things, but he was probably just being sarcastic. After all, if he really believed those things about Christianity, why would he be so favorable to Christians?
At times, the Christian right has sought to rewrite history by posthumously converting Thomas Jefferson into a Christian. Throughout his life, however, Jefferson strenuously denied that he held orthodox Christian beliefs or that he desired the mixing of politics and religion in government. Instead, Jefferson's religious philosophy centered on 18th century concepts of natural law. Jefferson placed significant value on the ability of human beings to use reason to understand their world. In fact, Jefferson was so opposed to mysticism that he removed from his bible any account of the miracles that Jesus is alleged to have performed. The resulting Jefferson Bible, contained only those precepts that Jefferson believed were integral to the moral philosophy of Jesus Christ.

Everything belongs to Christianity. We have God on our side, so we can do no wrong, and can do anything we want to.
Disbelieve at the peril of your soul.
I have nothing more to say on this manner.

This is it people, this is "Christianity" for ya.
Pure arrogance and tyranny and threats, no tolerance and no reason at all.
Thanks for being honest.

Of course, only atheists will deny these known historical facts.

Christians are not arrogant people. They just can't be. The only thing we can do is love, because that's how God wants it. All they're trying to do is to save your soul. Your soul just can't be saved unless you turn to the One True God, and that is the Christian God.

yea I do think that. 85 percent of the time. also, call me out on whatever you want. I never said anything about 9/11 so label me in any jackass way you want, I won't care. I made my viewpoint known, somebody read it, its out there and I'm fine.
As far as the other thing you mentioned about homophobic kids being raised in strict households or something...? What? im not sure I understand why you mentioned that. and for the record since Im not a pro-christian conspiracy theorist I dont generally pay attention to COLLEGE studies.

As long as this is your truth, and those spreading it are not condemned, the party is on.

Apperently this is what you are.....
that puts the individual person in the position of personal responsibility for their thoughts and actions is far superior.
Well, first of all, I never said that. You have quoted someone who is using that as a rhetorical statement to insult Christians by a sort of reverse psychology. But what is new around here?

I did not make any claims that he is a "sock puppet" and I defy you to find it in my posts anywhere. I also never suggested he was hired. So much for ridiculous claims.

You suggested he was deliberately behaving like that cause he had an agenda against Christianity, yet you called our responses to him Christian bashing.
If you feel his statements are giving Christianity a bad name, then why did you attack our responses to this guy, you must agrree that he was wrong?
Why do you not directly condemn that guy if he is deliberately making you look bad?
I am not condemning him, just making an observation. It is a bit like watching a lion tear apart an elk.
