Correct. Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and others were Deists, and Masons, and would have laughed hysterically at the absurd notion of the divinity of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jefferson once attributed the large mass of Christian theological writings to the fact that "Nonsense can never be explained." It is most entertaining that in spite of these undisputed historical facts, the modern day Christian FunnyMentalists continue to spew forth the revisionist notions that the Founding Fathers were Christians, and that the United States was founded as a "Christian Nation." -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ enoch@zipcon.com $ via Finger $ {Free Cypherpunk Political Prisoner Jim Bell}
