Poll: What's you religious platform...or lack there of?

[Phil502]

Christian myself, but tolerant of anothers choice, as long as they don't try to harm me by their choice.

Sorry if I didn't convey my message clearly. I did not mean to imply that his quotes prove him to not be a Christian; I just wanted it to be known that it's not a black and white case here.



Joe you're making it sound like he's a Christian until proven otherwise, almost like innocent until proven guilty.

Just because Christians see Deism as being wrong doesn't mean Jefferson wasn't a Christian. As you said, wanting doesn't make it fact.

Do I know matter-of-fact Jefferson's religion? Nope. Neither do any of us on here. I read what I can and it is just the most logical conclusion that he was not a Christian.

If Jefferson was not a Christian why did he write a commentary on the bible?

Nice try but nothing that you have posterd proves that Jefferson wasn`t a Christian.

I'm not very familiar with this book, but from what I have gathered it seemed like he wanted to separate the lessons taught by Jesus from the religiousness of the Bible. If he was a Christian, why would he want to separate the morals of the Bible from the Bible itself?

Is that sort of the opposite of a militant agnostic?
"I don't know and NEITHER DO YOU!"

Yep, all I say is "I DON'T CARE!"

Because some people take the words of the bible as they are written and not the morals they teach. This is one of the reasons for so many different denominations of Christianity.

Maybe he took the morals of the Bible out so people that won't listen to anything about the bible would suddenly listen since they weren't coming from the bible.

Possibly. Who knows? I'm all for it. I believe that the Bible does teach a lot of good lessons - the religion just isn't for me.
