Reply #8: Let's Call Them What They Are....

Christian Terrorists......


The only sane approach to belief is "Deism"........


You don't need a person who is dressed in certain clothes, nor pay them wads of money, or make sure they drive the latest model Bentely to be able to convene with a higher power..... Deism gives you the "power", and the "permission" to make your own calls whenever, or where ever you like with no 3rd party meddling.


"Belief" is not the problem..... "organized religion" is a huge problem........ without a doubt.....


"Many" of the founding fathers of the United States were indeed "Deists"...... no matter how much the Christian Terrorists hate that fact.... it is indeed.... a fact!

"Deism in the United States

In the United States, Enlightenment philosophy (which itself was heavily inspired by deist ideals) played a major role in creating the principle of religious freedom, expressed in Thomas Jefferson's letters, and the principle of religious freedom expressed in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. American Founding Fathers, or Framers of the Constitution, who were especially noted for being influenced by such philosophy include Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cornelius Harnett, Gouverneur Morris, and Hugh Williamson. Their political speeches show distinct deistic influence."
