So I was poking around the Internets and found this quote from a particular Thomas Jefferson, who if I recall correctly, had something or other to do with the foundation of the United States of America.

No historical fact is better established, than that the doctrine of one God, pure and uncompounded, was that of the early ages of Christianity … Nor was the unity of the Supreme Being ousted from the Christian creed by the force of reason, but by the sword of civil government, wielded at the will of the fanatic Athanasius. The hocus-pocus phantasm of a God like another Cerberus, with one body and three heads, had its birth and growth in the blood of thousands of martyrs … The Athanasian paradox that one is three, and three but one, is so incomprehensible to the human mind, that no candid man can say he has any idea of it, and how can he believe what presents no idea? He who thinks he does, only deceives himself. He proves, also, that man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such person, gullibility which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck.
- Letter to James Smith (1822).

RWNJ’s, please answer that quote. It’s a quote from one of the Founding Fathers, and the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence. And in all honesty, it doesn’t sound all that terribly ‘Christian’. To be brutally honest, I’ve heard Sheikhs and Imams say the same thing, though certainly not so eloquently. Perhaps Tommy J was ‘seekrit Muzlim’ ?

Please proceed.
