Ah, not enough coffee yet.<br /><br />Jefferson, as a Deist, edited out "miracles" in his own Bible, seeking to concentrate on the ethics and philosophy that remained. I think he got the gist of it right. I wonder how our Constitution would have turned out if he had had a hand in writing more than the amendments added later in the Bill of Rights.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-85075006979205248052013-02-24T08:35:25.583-08:002013-02-24T08:35:25.583-08:00beamish, it was more like "Thomas Jefferson s...beamish, it was more like "Thomas Jefferson still lives~!" but he'd died a few hours earlier.<br />Imagine them both dying, like I said in the post, on July 4th of the same year, which just happened to be the anniversary of the Declaration?<br /><br />There are many kinds of "miracles" like this in American early history...when God was such a part of our cloth.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-5659665547769137652013-02-24T08:28:36.841-08:002013-02-24T08:28:36.841-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-4541396642594072042013-02-24T08:25:36.637-08:002013-02-24T08:25:36.637-08:00Jefferson and Adams corresponded frequently after ...Jefferson and Adams corresponded frequently after returning to private life.
