No one disputes the faith of our Founding Fathers. To speak of
unalienable Rights being endowed by a Creator certainly shows a
sensitivity to our spiritual selves. What is surprising is when
fundamentalist Christians think the Founding Fathers' faith had
anything to do with the Bible.
Without exception, the faith of our
Founding Fathers was deist, not theist. It was best expressed
earlier in the Declaration of Independence, when they spoke of "the
Laws of Nature" and of "Nature's God."
In a sermon of October 1831,
Episcopalian minister
Bird Wilson
said,
Among all
of our Presidents, from Washington downward, not one was a
professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism.
The Bible? Here is what our Founding
Fathers wrote about Bible-based Christianity:
Thomas Jefferson:
I have
examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not
find in our particular superstition of Christianity one
redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and
mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since
the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured,
fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion?
To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites;
to support roguery and error all over the earth.
SIX HISTORIC
AMERICANS,
by John E. Remsburg, letter to William Short
Jefferson again:
Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever
shone on man. ...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were
perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes
and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the
teaching of Jesus.
More
Jefferson:
The clergy
converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for
enslaving mankind and adulterated by artificial constructions
into a contrivance to filch wealth and power to
themselves...these clergy, in fact, constitute the real
Anti-Christ.
Jefferson's
word for the Bible?
Dunghill.
John Adams:
Where do
we find a precept in the Bible for Creeds, Confessions,
Doctrines and Oaths, and whole carloads of other trumpery that
we find religion encumbered with in these days?
Also Adams:
The
doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for
absurdity.
Adams signed the Treaty of
Tripoli. Article 11 states:
The
Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on
the Christian religion.
Here's Thomas
Paine:
I would
not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to
that book (the Bible).
Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not
find one worse than Moses. Here is an order, attributed to 'God'
to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers and to debauch and
rape the daughters. I would not dare so dishonor my Creator's
name by (attaching) it to this filthy book (the Bible).
It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral
justice of God against the evils of the Bible.
Accustom a people to believe that priests and clergy can forgive
sins...and you will have sins in abundance.
The Christian church has set up a religion of pomp and revenue
in pretended imitation of a person (Jesus) who lived a life of
poverty.
Finally let's hear from
James Madison:
What
influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments
had on civil society? In many instances they have been upholding
the thrones of political tyranny. In no instance have they been
seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who
wished to subvert the public liberty have found in the clergy
convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure
and perpetuate liberty, does not need the clergy.
Madison
objected to state-supported chaplains in Congress and to the
exemption of churches from taxation. He wrote:
Religion
and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they
are mixed together.
These founding fathers were a
reflection of the American population. Having escaped from the
state-established religions of Europe, only 7% of the people in the
13 colonies belonged to a church when the Declaration of
Independence was signed.
Do not confuse Christianity with the
founding of America, for our founding fathers at best were
spiritually confused men, mostly unbelievers, who frequently voiced
disdain and contempt for the Word of God. Many of them were occult
members, such as George Washington and
Benjamin Franklin. America was indeed founded by Freemasons who
had the purpose of achieving a New World Order in mind. This is
amazingly and accurately evidenced in the book Legions of Satan
by Jonathan Williams, 1781, in which he quotes British General
Cornwallis as having said to George Washington (after losing the
Revolutionary War to him)...
And so it is today! The New World
Order is here, being formed under the pretense of a
bogus "War On Terror." Zionism
is taught in most of our churches, and never a word of critic is
spoken against the blasphemous
Jewish religion of Judaism, or the vile
Talmud which permits priestly
sex with 3-year old girls. One need look no further than a
one-dollar bill to find the all-seeing eye of the
Grand Architect. Cornwallis was correct! The sad irony of all
this is that 99.9% of the American people are woefully ignorant of
these truths. Truth is certainly stranger than fiction.
Today, just as hundreds of years ago in
1776, our
nation's leaders worship and speak praise of a god who is not
the God of the Bible.
"The Bible is not my book nor
Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the
long, complicated statements of Christian dogma."
—Abraham Lincoln, American president
(1809-1865).
"I have found
Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed
myself from Christian assemblies."
—quote by Benjamin Franklin; from the
book TOWARD THE MYSTERY
by Rev. William Edelen
"The Christian god can easily
be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods
of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed
monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know
more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs
to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They
are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."
—Thomas
Jefferson, U.S. President, author, scientist, architect,
educator, and diplomat
"Christianity is the most
perverted system that ever shone on man."
—Thomas
Jefferson, U.S. President, author, scientist, architect,
educator, and diplomat
