The Christian God is a being of terrific character- cruel, vindictive, capricious and unjust

-Thomas Jefferson

To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say there are nothing, or that there is no soul, no angels, no god. I cannot reason otherwise...I am satisfied, sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which we have no evidence

-Thomas Jefferson

Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone upon man

And everyone should know of the 1797 Treaty with Tripoli drafted by George Washington himself.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitian nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of harmony between the two countries.

And of course:

Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak mines are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

-Thomas Jefferson

Not to mention their slaves. ;-)

Ah but wait that was condoned by the god of the christian side hug. ;-)

Some of the forefathers can be seen quoting out of both sides of their mouths depending on who was listening. Also christian agenda historians have been noted to falsely attribute christian quotes to these forefathers (rewriting history to further the cause). Historians though (that don;t have a christian agenda) will agree that they were not christian. They were masonic.

>>>All those quotes are great examples of how christians can believe one way, and act in a contradictory manner.<<

I hate to burst your bubble but its always been that way. If i wrote the Bible i would of left out when David slept with one of his soldiers wives and got her pregnant and then killed the soldier. God paid David back for that dearly. But Spud thats the way it is. You wont EVER find a perfect Christian. You wont find a perfect anybody. When a person becomes a Christian they still mess up. As educated about Christianity as you are, i figured you would know that.
