Thomas Jefferson

[Kalish]

"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one."

"Question with boldness even the existence of God."

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive."

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter"

"In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to liberty; he is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."

"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."

1. You made your point about the great founders already

We agree they are awesome, especially Jefferson. But if you continue making these threads, you may be banned. Just a heads up.

2. Locking

It is against the rules to continue a flame war from a previous thread. My recommendation, Sir, is a bit of a break and a brerather, a restorative, and a return with refreshed and calmed spirits.
